Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

We use it for project development, including tasks such as web API, hosted services, mini-tests, and more.

The valuable feature is that it provides a basic template for everything and built-in debugging tools. They definitely save me time.

Compared to 2019, the 2022 version runs much smoother. The older version used to freeze if I had too many consoles open. The 2022 version is lighter and performs significantly better. Also, the ID itself is quite lightweight.

The UI is fine; they've kept it consistent for a while now, so it's familiar.

The hot reload feature is good, but sometimes it doesn't work. It could be improved. 

Also, the solution is heavy. If it could become lighter, it would attract a larger user base.

I have used the solution since 2008, so for the past 15 years. I’m currently using the latest version from 2022.

The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten, with ten being the highest.

If you have multiple windows open, up to three is fine. However, when you exceed three windows, especially on individual laptops, it tends to slow down the system. It is heavy; it is not a light solution. 

We have around ten users for the solution.

The setup process is straightforward, the only thing is the downloadable file is a bit large in size. The deployment process is quite simple. 

You just need to download the file, double-check it, have an administrator, and you're good to go. It takes approximately 20 minutes to complete the setup.

It can be implemented in-house. We have to keep the updates running; that is it. There is no other maintenance required. 

I would rate the solution a seven on a scale from one to ten, with one being the most affordable and ten being the most expensive.

I recommend the solution to all. It enhances productivity. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of 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.

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.

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.

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. 

It's up to the client or the software we are using. I use VB .NET or C# sometimes.

You can get two tables, child and parents tables, and you can handle tasks such as invoicing, receipts, et cetera. I like to have the results on hand fast. It's making my life easy. 

Many firms can use it. It's pretty prevalent. 

I like the copy-paste all capabilities.

The stability is okay.

You can expand usage if you would like to. 

I had to use VB .NET in place of using C# immediately with the child and parent table.

Generally, the solution works well and I haven't really had issues with it. 

We'd like the solution to be more secure. 

The installation can take a long time. 

We'd like the solution to be more stable. 

Technical support does not respond quickly.

The ability to scale can be difficult.

I've been using the solution for 15 years. 

The solution is mostly stable. It's rate it six or seven out of ten. It could be better.

The solution can scale, however, it's not straightforward. Sometimes it's very confusing in terms of what you need to do to make it happen. 

We have three users on the solution right now. 

We do plan to increase usage in the future. 

We are in Lebanon and we had to wait for Microsoft to reply to us. We used it two years ago, however, and they were responding fairly well. 

They could be faster. 

I started with VB Access and Visual FoxPro. 

The initial setup is pretty hard to set up. 

It took too long to install it. We also needed the new hard discs. It's very big. It's not a light application. It's about 25GBs. 

The deployment took about two hours. 

We handled the installation ourselves without ht need of integrators or consultants. 

I can't speak to the exact cost of the solution. It's not an aspect that I deal with. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
