Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

My primary business is designing architecture, and I use Visual Studio to demonstrate how to use VS code in the browser. For example, if someone has a business idea for a banking application and is starting to think about how to develop it, they can use Visual Studio to make a very quick prototype. The pipelines then deliver this project to the new environment, and the end-user can see how quickly the application works.

Visual Studio improves communication between teams, which saves valuable time.

The most valuable feature is the lightweight cross-platform support and the robust architecture. You can easily create, edit, and test any software and develop applications for all the major platforms, including cloud, desktop, and mobile.

Visual Studio could be improved with the ability to personalize the interface and development style and to edit extension requirements.

Visual Studio is a very good, very convenient, very powerful development solution. I would rate it as nine out of ten.

I am a DevOps engineer. I work from Ecuador for clients around LatAm, principally banks. I work with the banks that use DevOps continuous integration and continuous deployment. I also work with Visual Studio.

Windows Presentation Foundation or WPF is valuable. It's a tool to give clients a user interface for Windows applications. The summary for mobile applications is also very useful.

You need a lot of RAM to run the applications with Visual Studio and Unity. For example, if you want to do work on a game, you need a lot of resources or RAM for Visual Studio and Unity.

There could be some features related to Azure DevOps. There could be some features for YAML pipelines in Visual Studio.

I have been using this solution for 14 years.

We can find a lot of information on the internet when we have any issues.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10. 

We use the solution for development purposes.

The solution is a very good tool. I like the performance, stability and ease of use. 

I would like to see more tools in the next release. 

Since Microsoft Visual Studio comprises the core of Microsoft development, we have been making use of it for 15 years. 

I like the solution's stability. 

The technical support is fine. 

We have no need for deployment, as this can be handled by the individual user. 

The solution is a free tool.

The solution is deployed both on-premises and in the cloud. 

I cannot think of features which should be included in the next release, as they already upgrade the solution on their own. 

The solution is a very good product. There is no need for better integration. 

All of our customers use the solution. It is on a desktop application. We have around 40 developers.

I would definitely recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio as a nine out of ten. 

We use it mostly for build management.  

Visual Studios is a business solution developed by Microsoft. In general, I like it because it integrates many tools into one interface to provide a total solution. I think it is convenient to have everything in one interface.  

I think that because it integrates many tools into one interface the startup is very slow. It would be nice if the startup speed could be improved. Maybe in the future, they can provide a better, lighter interface or something based in the cloud. It would be on Azure, for example, or other cloud providers. But I do not think Microsoft will have native support with AWS.  

We have not only purchased the Visual Studio, but we also subscribed to MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network). I like that this way we can always have the latest updates. All the products from Microsoft always have the most up-to-date functionality.  

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for 15 years.  

It is amazing sometimes that Visual Studio will pop up a message reminding me about the performance. Sometimes it will tell me how much time it is spending on certain tasks. Microsoft suggested I disable this feature, but I cannot disable it, so I have to let it post the reminders and alerts.  

What I want to have is more scalability. If Microsoft can provide more possibilities for scalability that would be better for me. Sometimes I do not need it, but sometimes I think I need it. I want it to be easy to configure and easy to add our demos.  

Hundreds of users are using this product within our company.  

With technical support, we have the benefit of raising a ticket if we get stuck on something in progress. We can create a ticket with Microsoft with specific questions or problems to get their help in working through any technical issues. They are pretty good with their response.  

When I came to work in this company, the company had already decided to use this tool. So I have to use this tool for development when working here because it is what was available for development.  

The company buys and pays for the product. I think our purchasing department gets a fair price for it. But the actual price is something I do not have any idea of.  

I think how the product gets used and how it fits your use case depends on different user scenarios in the development environment. I cannot say which tool is better for someone in their circumstances. If someone wants to use the open-source to get free development resources, I think that is also an okay solution, but they may need to spend more time on making anything integrated with other OSS (Open Source Software) or OTS (Off-The-Shelf Software) software.  

I would recommend this product, but it depends on the user's scenario and the user environment. I cannot easily say if another user can easily accommodate Microsoft Visual Studio or not.  

On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate Visual Studio as a seven or eight-out-of-ten.  

We are using Visual Studio for .NET software development.

One application that we are developing is for the service industry in Ireland. We are trying some PoCs for developing APIs and Web Interfaces using ASP.NET CORE. Once we demonstrate it, we will be developing a full-fledged solution.

Other teams in our organization are currently developing other projects, some of which are going into production in about a month.

This is an IDE for software development using .NET, and there are not many tools like it available. Anything we need to do, development-wise, we use this tool.

Its hard to point the most valuable feature as I see this IDE as a complete package for developers to build software solutions. Live Share, code refactoring, IntelliCode, the debug and diagnosis tooling are all valuable.

There are some features that I have yet to explore and it would be helpful to have more information about what is available and how it works.

I have been using Visual Studio for eight years and still using it.

We use this product on a daily basis and the stability is great. It does depend on the environment and how it is set up, but that is for the developers to learn. We have not had any downtime.

This is a scalable solution. At this time, we have five or six developers who are using it.

I have been in contact with Microsoft's technical support, but not much. When I have issues, I use the community forum. I have found that they respond quickly and I can resolve the problem.

I started learning .NET using Visual Studio and still using. As far as developing .NET solutions are concerned, Visual Studio is all that is needed. I did use Eclipse and Netbeans long back to develop Java solutions.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The Azure deployment is very quick, although we are still following the old method. It is still quick to publish and deploy, taking about five minutes for the on-premises version.

I am not the right person to advise on the pricing and the cost aspect as I just develop solutions using the tool. Although I am not directly involved in pricing, I have heard positive comments about the licensing fees. When our subscription expires, the finance department takes care of it.

The most basic edition of Visual Studio, the Community edition, is available free of charge which is oriented towards students, individual developers and small teams.

This tool is widely used in the software industry. The most recent version, 2019, has a lot of new functionality, some of which I still have to explore. Visual Studio is a developer friendly tool.

My advice for anybody who is considering using Visual Studio is that it is a complete package that contains everything you need for .NET code development.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We use the solution to develop web applications. I'm a programmer specialist II and we're customers of Visual Studio. 

I think the code management is the most convenient and valuable new feature. Deployment of the solution is also a very smooth process.

I think the file installations could be improved because they're very heavy and I'd like to see the solution support Python for developing purposes. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

In the previous versions, the product wasn't so stable, but in this latest 2019 version they have fixed the issue and it's now a stable solution. 

The scalability is good in this solution. We have about five developers in the company using it on a regular basis. 

I'm very satisfied with the support. 

It is easy to install, the only issue being that it takes up a lot of memory. We had two people involved with the deployment and implementation took a few days. We didn't use any consultants, we just followed the documentation.

This is a simple product to use and the best advice I can give is to follow the documentation. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

Our primary use case of this solution is to develop and maintain the main programs of the company for which we work.

I really like the distributed software programming on the Windows platform and also we need to develop on this platform since the company's computers work with the Windows network. I like that I don't need any additional software to develop on this platform.

I haven't had any issues with the stability of this solution.

I believe the solution is scalable and we can increase our number of developers. We currently have 15 users. 

We don't really use technical support. Whenever we have an issue, we search on the internet for a solution. 

We used other solutions before, but we decided to switch to Microsoft Visual Studio because it is the best solution for developing the Windows platform. We considered using Delphi Solutions, but few people were familiar with the platform, so we chose Visual Studio. More people use Visual Studio.

The solution comes at a good price and, even though there are free versions out there on the market, I still prefer this product because I like its interface.

My advice to others is to simply install it and use it. I am really satisfied with this solution. My rating is eight out of ten. In the next version, I would like to see a better development tool. The current Mobile Application Development is very integrated.

Our primary use case of this solution is for performance testing.

The feature I find most valuable is the fact that it's broad-spectrum, so it can be used for a wide variety of technologies. We are predominately .NET based and we use mostly .NET Core or .NET Framework so I can call in any immediate packages.

I would only say the deployment outline can be improved. We have shifted away from using Team Foundation Server, because it didn't work for our company. We shifted over to the Git approach and I do know that the Team Foundation Server has Git support. But we decided to rather go with GitLab as our main platform. 

In terms of more support I would like to have the ability to plug into other open source pools. I know that it's focused towards the whole Microsoft Suite so it's more geared towards the Team Foundation Server, but if they can add more support to pools, that would be great.

In terms of stability, it really works for us. There are drawbacks to every solution out there, it's built into it. Our company is stripped across using Visual Studio. Some of the architects use Visual Studio Code so they don't really need an extent of IDE. They have a nice cut of IDE using Visual Studio Code. In terms of stability, I don't think we have shifted away from Visual Studio at all. It will always remain our IDE tool of choice.

With Microservice Architecture it has become very easy for us to scale out. I think it's more about the way that we handle scale. The tool allows it. I would say the hardships comes with the planning for scale, as opposed to the actual tool accommodating itself. We have about 1500 users on Visual Studio and then we have a small team dedicated to the maintenance of the deployment. 

The technical team at Microsoft is known for their fast response time.

We utilized a bunch of templates for the initial setup instead of going through the trials and tribulations of setting up everything at once. 

I would highly recommend this solution. They've really gone the 9-mile to accommodate not only corporate or big companies, but small, single users to utilize the community issue or business vehicle, and to develop and build on application. I would highly recommend it to anyone. In the next version, I would like to see systems like Juta as well as more testing tools. There's a massive automation drive, anything in terms of more out of the box automation features for Selenium, or ACRONYM, or automation tools like that. I rate this program ten out of ten.
