Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

We use Microsoft Visual Studio for development.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is how easy it is to access all the basic templates for development. There are so many features you get with Visual Studio that it's really helpful for the deployment, the development, and the intelligence behind it. 

The product and its features have come a long way over the years. There are so many features available that you can't use them all. I would like to see more on-premise tips and tools along with development time so that I don't need to go to a third-party site. It would be better if Microsoft Visual Studio familiarized me with all the updates and new feature sets. Help tips would be really helpful.

I would like to see a design preview feature. In the 2013 version and partially in the 2015 version, there was a design screen within Visual Studio. Now, you can't really see the design elements during development without deploying the whole design template. The design preview would be beneficial in future updates.

I have been using this solution for 10 years.

The solution is stable. It has not crashed.

Microsoft Visual Studio is scalable enough for us. Teams work on it and can collaborate on their work. The number of users depends on the strength of the team and the requirements of the project.

The support for Microsoft Visual Studio is good. All the templates for different types of development like Windows, APIs, and Angular development are all supported.

Other than the Microsoft line-up, you can work on the open source languages as well. They support open source languages like Angular and Node.

Previously we worked with different IDEs. We use Visual Studio in parallel with VS Code in parallel with Atom. We also work with Eclipse. 

I prefer Visual Studio because I am also working with Microsoft Teams.

The initial setup of Visual Studio is straightforward for anyone familiar with the solution. Newer users will experience a learning curve, but it is not because of the GUI, the user experience is good.

We have an enterprise-level license. The cost is expensive for small to medium-sized organizations.

Microsoft Visual Studio is an excellent IDE, but the features are more of VS Code. For small to medium-sized organizations, the licensing for Visual Studio may be too expensive. It is really suited for companies that work on the cloud, or have large teams working on Microsoft Stack. Many open-source tools provide similar feature sets. 

On the other hand, you will find Visual Studio more user-friendly than open source. It has a better GUI and is more plug-and-drop compared to other IDEs.

It is also a personal preference. If you are comfortable with command terms, then Visual Studio provides that. If you require a TFS repository, you do need Visual Studio as an IDE, as they are really tightly coupled and easy to do all your CI/CD. Lastly, if you use a version control other than TFS, then you may prefer a different IDE, like VS Code or an open-source IDE.

The main factor is going to come down to cost. 

I would rate Microsoft Visual Studio an eight out of ten overall.

On-premises

The early use of Microsoft Visual Studio was for developing and creating software applications. Then, with technology development, I used Microsoft Visual Studio to create cross-platform software applications such as web, mobile, and desktop applications. 

Microsoft Visual Studio also provides debugging tools, project management tools, and source control which makes project management easier for me - especially after I combine it with Git. 

Microsoft Visual Studio allows me to create and manage projects, write code, and debug and test applications. Also, it helps me with advanced features to develop applications for the cloud, IoT, and AI.

Microsoft Visual Studio helps my company improve efficiency in software development suites. 

It includes various features, such as an integrated development environment, source control, debugging, and deployment tools. 

Visual Studio also enables teams to collaborate and share code more efficiently. This can help companies streamline development processes and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks. 

Additionally, Visual Studio provides a comprehensive set of debugging tools that can help enterprises quickly identify and resolve issues. 

Finally, Visual Studio offers a suite of features that allow companies to customize their development environment, such as templates and extensions, that can help them optimize their workflow.

Sometimes being able to complete one line of code with many functions and lines requires a lot of mental and physical precision. However, Microsoft Visual Studio helped me with IntelliSense. IntelliSense helped me with autocomplete and code snippets to help speed up development. It also helps me quickly find and deploy the right code. 

Apart from that, in terms of development, my team and I sometimes continue to improve and perfect the website or application that is being worked on so that everything is neat and well-tracked. For that, I use version control. Version control is a feature built into Visual Studio that helps me manage and track changes to the code I'm working on. This helps ensure that teams work from the same codebase and can quickly roll back to a previous version if needed.

Microsoft Visual Studio can improve integration with the Microsoft Office suite; this was only implemented in 2022. Why this is important is that almost all companies have MS Office to work with, and nowadays, automation is becoming an effective role model to increase company efficiency and can save operational costs and purchase technology licenses. 

Microsoft Visual Studio can be used to create applications that integrate directly with the Microsoft Office suite. This includes Office applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. With this integration, enterprises can create powerful applications that utilize existing Office features and capabilities. 

For example, I can use Visual Studio to create a custom Excel add-in that adds new features and capabilities to a spreadsheet application. Then I can also create Outlook add-ins that provide additional functionality to the email client. Additionally, Visual Studio could be used to create applications that interact with Office documents, enabling companies to develop sophisticated applications that interact with Office documents in new and exciting ways.

I've been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about four years for code editing, debugging, test tracking, and GUI development.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a very stable development environment. It's been around for years and has a proven track record of reliability. 

It is updated regularly with new features and bug fixes and is designed to be highly customizable and expandable. 

With a comprehensive set of tools and debugging capabilities, Visual Studio provides the ideal development environment for me or company interns. Overall, Microsoft Visual Studio has a very stable and reliable development environment.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a comprehensive development environment with tools for various development needs. 

It is designed to scale easily across projects running in companies of all sizes and complexities. 

Visual Studio is highly scalable and provides developers with powerful features that help me build robust and efficient applications. 

Visual Studio supports multiple languages and technologies, such as .NET, C#, C++, HTML, JavaScript, and more. It also provides an intuitive interface for quickly building, debugging, and deploying applications. Plus, Visual Studio is highly extensible, letting me customize the IDE to suit my particular needs. 

Visual Studio also includes various integrations with popular third-party tools and services, such as GitHub, Azure, and others. With its scalability, Visual Studio is a great choice for teams.

Technical support is very helpful for directing our problem to a solution precisely and quickly.

I didn't switch from another platform or vendor. That said, I combined something with Visual Studio Code. There are some plugins that only I can use in Visual Studio Code and the Visual Studio Code community is more active.

The initial setup is a little complex and needs to be adjusted to the device used.

With an in-house team, we could handle the setup ourselves.

For setup costs, I suggest making Microsoft Visual Code the main tool for final testing before releasing it to the public. Subscribing to Microsoft Visual Studio will be quite expensive for a small company. Therefore, other teams can use open-source coding tools.

I did evaluate Eclipse IDE.

I like the price-sharing method and direct support for developers from Microsoft.

Private Cloud

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for developing WPS applications.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is the good intelligence and UI.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for approximately five years.

The stability of Microsoft Visual Studio could improve. There are times it hangs or stops working and I have to restart the program.

The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good.

We have approximately 10 people in our company's automated department using the solution.

Our manager has spoken to the technical support from Microsoft Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio is easy to set up. The deployment took approximately 30 minutes.

We did the deployment in-house of Microsoft Visual Studio.

This is a good solution for developing .NET applications and other applications.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio an eight out of ten.

On-premises

We use Microsoft Visual Studio for various builds such as building our .NET applications, and in some cases, we use it for design, and for building specifications.

What we like about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's a comprehensive tool. It has features that work for different plans and it has a wide variety of use cases. It's also a powerful tool and it's quite efficient.

There's always room for improvement in any product, and in Microsoft Visual Studio, it can be spread into other areas of development and design. It's pretty much Microsoft-oriented at the moment. It can be spread into other open source or open source-based developments. That's why I gave it a rating of eight. There's always room for improvement, for example, the UI could be better, and development could be easier on Microsoft Visual Studio if there were more features like drag and drop and more frameworks, etc.

We've been using Microsoft Visual Studio for the past three years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a stable tool. It has improved in terms of stability.

In terms of scalability, I don't know if scalability applies to Microsoft Visual Studio, to be honest.

We never required technical support from Microsoft Visual Studio because it's a straightforward tool. Online help is great, for example, the community support and forums are all good and widely used.

Microsoft Visual Studio has improved a lot over the years, and setting it up is quite straightforward now.

How fast the tool is deployed depends on project to project, but usually deployment is quite efficient and fast. We usually take on average fifteen days to build a feature and deploy it in DevOps.

We both have an in-house team and partners that take care of the implementation of Microsoft Visual Studio.

I've seen ROI from Microsoft Visual Studio.

The development license for Microsoft Visual Studio is free. I don't know if there's a licensing cost to it.

We evaluated Eclipse and also used other tools, but Microsoft Visual Studio is good.

My company has been using Microsoft Visual Studio for development purposes, particularly Microsoft Visual Studio for .NET development.

I would highly recommend Microsoft Visual Studio to others looking into implementing it. I would also advise that it has some learning curve to use, in particular, people need the technical skill to use the tool properly.

My rating for Microsoft Visual Studio is eight out of ten.

Public Cloud

I use Microsoft Visual Studio for data modeling. 

I like the product's connection with Azure analytics services and the ability to build the model on the cloud. 

The tool's interface should be more user-friendly. 

I have been working the solution for six months. 

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is not the best in terms of scalability. My company has 15 users for it. 

The product's setup is straightforward. The time taken to deploy it depends on the project. 

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

On-premises

I use Microsoft Visual Studio to develop software.

What I like the most about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's useful. It's also a very stable solution, and is scalable as well. It's quick to set up as it only took me a few seconds to do it.

What I don't like about Microsoft Visual Studio is its user interface. It could be better. WebStorm is a better solution for me as it has a good user interface and is more user-friendly, though my friends like Microsoft Visual Studio. I worked with WebStorm for the web layer, and for the server layer, I worked with IBM Eclipse which is my favorite software. I also dealt with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS through Angular.

I've been using Microsoft Visual Studio for four years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a very stable solution.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a scalable solution.

We use the internet, for example, YouTube sites to solve issues about Microsoft Visual Studio. We don't contact their support team.

The initial setup for Microsoft Visual Studio wasn't complex. It was very easy. The process was easy to understand. It only took me five seconds to deploy Microsoft Visual Studio.

I implemented Microsoft Visual Studio myself. You can do it in-house.

Microsoft Visual Studio is free. It's freeware, so you don't have to pay for its license.

I evaluated WebStorm, IBM Eclipse, and Angular.

In my company, three users work with Microsoft Visual Studio.

I would recommend WebStorm to others, rather than Microsoft Visual Studio.

My rating for Microsoft Visual Studio is six out of ten, though my friends would probably rate the solution a ten.

Public Cloud

One of the most valuable features is its support. It's easy for me to get support even though I never use it. If there's a bug or a performance issue, Microsoft also provides quick updates, and this is another valuable feature of the program.

A room for improvement in Microsoft Visual Studio is its performance. Currently, some of our devices are not that capable, so performance still needs to be improved.

An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Visual Studio to make it better is a more centralized education system, e.g. for Microsoft to put the tutorial for the program under Microsoft Learn.

I've been working with Microsoft Visual Studio for two years, and I'm still using it.

The stability of Microsoft Visual Studio is okay, but it could be more stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a scalable program. It's enough for me, and I'm utilizing it a lot, and that's one of the most important things for me.

I'm using my company's equipment, so Microsoft Visual Studio is already set up on it. The program's easy to set up.

I'm using the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio, e.g. the 2022 version if I remember correctly. It depends on what my company is using.

The most valuable thing about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's already deployed in my company and used by my company, so I can just use it. That's the reason I'm using the program.

I haven't contacted technical support for Microsoft Visual Studio.

I'm giving Microsoft Visual Studio a rating of eight out of ten.

On-premises

I use Microsoft Visual Studio to deploy and migrate different solutions from monolithic to 100% cloud-native solutions in Azure. When I have a client-server solution that is very monolithic, I can perfectly migrate it to Azure to create backends in different Kubernetes environments and utilize modern frontend technologies like React for a more efficient solution in cloud platforms.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a very robust application. I can read and analyze logs in C#. It's friendly with JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java, making many deployments guided for different solutions possible. The .NET library, although very old, is a very robust application for deployment in cloud settings, being friendly for working with functions and logic apps, which are best used for deploying .NET services. Visual Studio offers a great debugging tool where I can debug quickly and resolve issues efficiently with specific solutions designed for strong debugging.

The patching aspect can continue to be improved. Although Visual Studio has very expressive refactor solutions and efficient, reliable patching for code, there is always room for enhancement in these areas.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for more than twenty years.

The deployment depends on the project as I use methodologies like Agile or Kanban, allowing the creation of very structured steps in projects. A big deployment can start for three to six months. Locally, when working with Azure, I deploy with Visual Studio on my local machine, integrating with the cloud when I publish.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a very robust and stable application, especially when I have integration with Azure DevOps.

Microsoft Visual Studio is scalable in integrating with various cloud platforms and solutions for effective deployment.

Microsoft's support is very strong, with good resources available when creating support tickets. They respond quickly and have professional resources for resolving different software or deployment issues. A very big library is available at dev.microsoft.com with many solutions for investigation.

Neutral

The initial setup of Microsoft Visual Studio is not complex. I have been using it for maybe 10 to 15 years and it is the most robust application software for deployment.

The ROI depends on the contract I have with Microsoft. For example, in an Enterprise Agreement (ELA), Microsoft might provide free licenses for deployment. The ROI varies based on the company's agreements, and different subscription licenses are available like basic, standard, and business premium.

The pricing for Microsoft Visual Studio is favorable. While many open-source solutions are available, none offer the robustness of Visual Studio, which includes a Marketplace for creating different add-ons and integration solutions for quality assurance.

I have knowledge of NetBeans, an open-source solution, but it does not have the robustness of Microsoft Visual Studio which offers a Marketplace to create different add-ons.

I recommend Microsoft Visual Studio for different clouds as it can integrate with AWS, GCP, Huawei, and Red Hat OpenShift due to its add-ons. I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine out of ten. Despite rating it a nine, all features align well with my personal experience, reflecting no dissatisfaction on my part.
