Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for software development.

Microsoft Visual Studio has improved the way our organization functions by allowing us to develop applications rapidly.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is the user interface.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for approximately 15 years.

I have found Microsoft Visual Studio to be stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio is scalable.

We have an assistant director and software development using Microsoft Visual Studio in my department. In the whole company, there could be hundreds using Microsoft Visual Studio.

In my department, they do not like Microsoft Visual Studio, but across the departments, we will increase the usage of Microsoft Visual Studio.

I rate the support from Microsoft Visual Studio a four out of five.

I have used a couple of different packages prior to Microsoft Visual Studio.

The initial setup of Microsoft Visual Studio was straightforward and take approximately 20 minutes.

We have two people for the deployment and maintenance of Microsoft Visual Studio.

The cost of using Microsoft Visual Studio is approximately $1,700 per user.

I rate the price of Microsoft Visual Studio a four out of five.

I evaluated other solutions before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, such as DELFI. I chose Microsoft Visual Studio because it was easier to use and more flexible.

The best advice I can give to others is to take training because it's so easy to use out of the box. However, you might tend to install it and maybe configure it improperly. You need to have some training.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine out of ten.

On-premises

We are a services company, and we use Microsoft Visual Studio for .NET development, application development, and related tasks.

I find Microsoft Visual Studio to be a good development environment. Its integration with SQL and features like check-in, check-out, and integration with Visual SourceSafe and now the Azure counterpart are very effective for debugging applications.

The integration of automation capabilities, such as code auto-generation, would be beneficial. Copilot integration and other automation tools would definitely increase productivity.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio since its inception, which is more than ten years.

I believe the solution is very stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a fully scalable solution with no limitations.

Technical support from Microsoft is very good; I would rate it a ten.

Positive

I find the initial setup of Microsoft Visual Studio to be simple, and I can do it alone without needing more people.

I can handle the installation all by myself.

I am not directly involved with the pricing since our company does bulk purchases. Generally, we are pretty happy with Microsoft products.

I have not worked with any competitive products similar to Microsoft Visual Studio.

Prospective users should know that it's very easy to set up and use Microsoft Visual Studio, ensuring a good user experience. I would rate my overall experience with Microsoft Visual Studio a ten.

We use the solution to develop applications. 

Microsoft Visual Studio needs to improve integration. 

I have been using the product for five years. 

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio's stability a nine out of ten. 

The tool's deployment is straightforward. It takes less than an hour to complete. 

I can install the solution by myself. 

Microsoft Visual Studio is a free product. 

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine out of ten. 

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for developing SQL Server applications.

Using Microsoft Visual Studio has heightened the quality of the work that I do since it is checking everything.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is its integration with Azure DevOps.

The migration could improve in Microsoft Visual Studio. When I upgraded from 2017 and up to 2022 it was not smooth. There was a lot of manual hand-picking.  Microsoft should put a higher budget for the database developers' section in Visual Studio.

In a future release, it would be a benefit to include an option so I can share the library of methods between different projects in SQL Server easier.

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

Microsoft Visual Studio is a highly stable solution.

We have four or five people using Microsoft Visual Studio in our organization. We are a small startup company.

I have not used the support from Microsoft Visual Studio.

I previously used SQL Server Management Studio which is very popular for development. However, I wanted to source code handling as well, and this is why I moved to Microsoft Visual Studio.

The initial setup of Microsoft Visual Studio was straightforward. However, the difficulty depends on how much of the solution is going to be used. The installation is typically done in smaller steps at the beginning which makes it easy.

The time it took for the deployment was approximately one day.

We did the deployment of the solution in-house but we had a consultant with the GitHub integration.

The solution is expensive.

I rate the price of Microsoft Visual Studio a two out of five.

I am the only person that is needed for maintaining the solution.

My advice to others is to do small steps at the beginning to make it simple. This solution is very large and is best to do it in small steps.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio an eight out of ten.

On-premises

I use Visual Studio to build software for the Microsoft platform.

Visual Studio provides integration with GitHub, and the 2022 version makes it easy to move from one branch to another via the GUI when working on a solution. It also provides a view of how the branches are organized with the code inside the repository. 

Visual Studio's best feature is debugging, which isn't available with any other Microsoft development tool.

There's not much help to deal with issues on Microsoft's official websites.

I've been using Visual Studio since 2005.

Visual Studio is stable 95% of the time, except for an error when refreshing DLLs that requires a restart.

Visual Studio is the best tool available for working on the Microsoft platform, with features that aren't available on any other development tool. I would rate Visual Studio nine out of ten.

On-premises

Our primary use case for this solution is web design. We use the community version on the desktop app.

The codes and the code areas are valuable features.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. The solution is good, but additional components such as add-ons could be included in the installation packages because it saves time for the user during installation.

We have been using this solution for a very long time.

The solution is stable, and it has no issues.

The solution is scalable but I cannot comment on the number of people using it within our organization.

I rate the customer service and support team a ten out of ten.

Positive

We previously used SharePoint Designer. However, Microsoft Visual Studio was more robust and interacted better with each component.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We implemented it through an in-house team.

I cannot comment on the prices for licensing, but we are on the community version because many companies cannot afford the license packages for companies. So the licenses could be a little bit cheaper.

We use this solution for developing enterprise projects.

It is a beneficial tool because we can write programming code, write our test cases and automate tests in Visual Studio.NET. Additionally, after we develop projects, we can automate and test. It also provides an integrated development environment where we can design our page and program it. It works well both on the front and back end.

The solution could be improved by including an axle intelligence
for tech suggestions and suggesting the dependencies between API. When we use some APIs, we have to add the dependency ourselves in Microsoft Visual Studio. However, with axle intelligence, when an API is added to a project, it can find the dependency of the API and add it automatically.

We have been using this solution for about 17 years now and we are currently using the 2019 version.

The solution is very stable. It works very well once it is open and has never crashed.

The solution is scalable, and scalability depends on what we use the tool for. It has various tools we can use in whatever way we choose. Currently, six people are using this product in our company.

We have had a very good experience with customer service and support.
Whenever we post an issue, someone in the support team reaches out to us within 24 hours. Therefore, I would rate the support team a ten out of ten.

Positive

We used Borland IDE before switching to this solution. Borland C++ builder was a good product then, but we switched to this solution because we think Microsoft Visual Studio is currently the best IDE.

The initial setup is straightforward. It just needs to be downloaded and installed from Microsoft.

We implemented this solution on our own. We work with Microsoft Visual Studio on our PCs, which is installed on every PC. For each project, we have a manager and a group of about five to 60 staff members comprising engineers, administrators and managers. We extend our team and employ new people whenever we get a new project.

Unfortunately, we cannot comment on ROI because we are using the community edition.

Unfortunately, because our country is under hefty sanctions, we could not buy this product so we use the community edition, which is a free version. However, we believe the cost of licensing for this product is logical.

I rate this product a ten out of ten. This product is a very good choice for people searching for an Integrated IDE. Microsoft IDE is very integrated and does not require other tools except Microsoft Visual Studio.NET. However, the product could be improved by including axle intelligence.

It is great for integration with Excel. For example, with Microsoft Access, you can make fast elementary analyses for the business. It is very easy to use.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a powerful product that we can use for visualization. We currently use it for simple business tasks and financial graphics.

The scalability could be improved.

We have been using this solution for more than ten years, and it is deployed on cloud.

The stability depends on the solution that you need. If you use a lot of data, it's not stable, but if you use it for business tasks, it's stable because they are simple tasks.

It is not scalable, and it could be better. About 200 people use Microsoft Visual Studio in my company.

I rate this solution a four out of ten. I would recommend this solution depending on the business case. It is a very simple and nice tool for simple tasks, but I would not recommend it for complex tasks.

I can't speak to performance because it's a cloud solution, and it depends on the cloud. When you are using real-time data, you need the results immediately, so if the cloud is not fast enough, it's an issue. Results aren't provided in real-time, but if it is on-premises, this can be avoided. But if it is on-premises, you must give up some features. Therefore, it is challenging to determine performance.

We use it basically for just coding. 

It's great for personal use. 

The extensions are valuable. I was able to download the extensions that were important to me. For example, I can use the solution to highlight syntax on the code or change the theme of Visual Studio. Or, if I'm working on PHP, I can download the PHP extension. If it's Python, I can download Python extensions. Et cetera. It's flexible and gives you options. 

The solution can scale. The solution is also very stable. 

It's updated regularly. 

The cost is reasonable, and they do have a free option.

I can't speak to any necessary improvements. It does what I need it to do. 

I'd like the product to become more secure. You could potentially, for example, download an extension that contains malware. 

I've used the solution over the past three or four years. 

The solution is stable. It has regular updates. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash. 

The solution is able to scale. 

I basically use the solution myself for my purposes. 

I didn't really use tech support so much. I wouldn't know much about it.

I did not previously use a different product. 

You just download the solution and have it running on your system. Therefore, the setup is pretty straightforward. It only takes a few minutes to get everything up and running. 

The implementation can be done in-house. We didn't need any integrators or consultants to assist us. 

There is a free version of the solution, which I 've used. I'd rate the cost of the solution overall eight out of ten. It's pretty reasonable. 

I would recommend the product to others. It supports different types of software development for websites, web apps, mobile apps, computer programs, or any other web services.

I'd rate it eight out of ten. 

On-premises

I think Microsoft Visual Studio is a good tool.

I think it is very successful and easy to use. I currently do not see any areas to develop. Microsoft Visual Studio is an excellent product.

The stability is fine.

We have a very scalable solution with Microsoft Visual Studio.

We have not had the need to use technical support, but the website has been good.

The initial setup could be more straightforward. After the initial setup, it is easy to use and develop codes in different languages.

A license is required. I think it is a good product, but the price is high. They could sell it at a better price point.

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