Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

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.

We use Microsoft Visual Studio to write desktop applications.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are debugging and IntelliSense.

Microsoft Visual Studio could improve by making it faster. Every time they add a new feature or plugin it slows it down. They should allow the user to turn off features they do not use.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for approximately 18 years.

Microsoft Visual Studio has excellent stability.

There are six software developers using Microsoft Visual Studio.

I have not used the support from Microsoft Visual Studio.

The initial setup of Microsoft Visual Studio is easy.

Each of the six software developers that are using Microsoft Visual Studio self-manages their workstations.

The cost of using Microsoft Visual Studio monthly is approximately $300.

Microsoft Visual Studio is the best development environment out there, but it's also the slowest.

I would recommend others to use Microsoft Visual Studio.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine out of ten.

We use the Microsoft Visual Studio environment to write code for applications.

The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the way we are able to design code, deploy, and test our application. It is easy to move an artifact from the start to the deployment stage. It has well-defined processes that you can integrate with any team. Additionally, the solution is always improving.

Microsoft Visual Studio can improve by bringing back designers. They used to have designers for architecture charts and diagrams. They were able to do things, such as database design. If they can bring them back, it would be great.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for approximately 20 years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio can scale in terms of expected loads. It is highly scalable.

We have four people who use the solution in my organization.

We were using another solution prior to Microsoft Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio's initial setup is easy. The process took approximately two to three hours.

We did the implementation of Microsoft Visual Studio in-house. We use one person for the deployment and support of the solution.

We have seen a return on investment using Microsoft Visual Studio. Within a week you can be more proficient and see the value.

You have to be a subscriber with a Visual Studio subscription to use the solution and the organization has to purchase a license that's linked to the account.

My advice to others is they should try Microsoft Visual Studio. They will achieve quicker results in terms of being able to deliver the project compared to the competition.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a ten out of ten.

Microsoft Visual Studio can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for developing applications.

There is room for improvement in the price of the solution overall.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for approximately one and a half years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is highly stable.

The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good.

We have 10 to 15 people using this solution.

I have not contacted the support from Microsoft Visual Studio. We have not had any major issues.

The installation of the Microsoft Visual Studio in approximately 15 minutes.

The license is taken care of by my company and the price could be less expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine out of ten.

The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages.

It also has a very good interface for Git source code management. Then there are a couple of add-ins or plug-ins that are out there in the marketplace that sometimes come in handy. From a developer standpoint, it does a very good job when it comes to debugging. It's a great development tool. 

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. 

The solution has good technical support.

It has a ton of options and that sometimes can become very, very overwhelming for a new person, a new developer. If something can be done around simplifying the product, for example, if there's a way, to just have enough options that are relevant for me, that could probably help.

The upgrade system is a bit complex. If they're upgrading something, then they should not force us to go to the next version. Maybe they should probably just release a fix or something that, and once we implement that fix, it gives us at least a choice that you're good for some time even if you don't want to upgrade.

A ton of time is just spent trying to keep ourselves up with the frequent releases that Microsoft rolls out. That is something that takes away from our productive time that we could have invested that time to enhance your application, and could have worked on additional features or functionalities, however, you end up spending that time just to upgrade your current solution to the next version that they roll out.

I've been using the solution for three years, however, my team members have been using it for ten to 12 years now.

In terms of the stability, the frequent upgrades that they roll out and then they force us to upgrade the solution, upgrade the tool itself, those sometimes can be a nuisance.

Most of the time, I see my team members end up spending a lot of time just upgrading the application to the next .NET framework. Or sometimes even the Microsoft Visual Studio version that gets rolled out and then you just have to do that upgrade. Therefore, the frequent upgrades that happen just don't support the older ones, they just take it off support, which causes a lot of nuisance.

The project that I'm part of is a huge team for sure. We are a team of a couple hundred. 

There have been instances in the past where we have reached out to Microsoft.

Support-wise, they're doing a fair job. I don't mind that. Whenever we reach out, we do get help.

It was a pretty easy setup. For us, basically, it comes with some preconfigured settings. The license that we have is a project from our customer. It is fairly straightforward.

We had a third party help us with the initial setup. We did not do it completely by ourselves.

I'm not someone who concerns myself with the cost. That said, my understanding is the license cost is a lot. Before customers roll out a license for any developer, they make sure that it is relevant and it's required for the job. 

We use the enterprise edition of the product. We're using the latest version.

We're end-users of Visual Studio. We're also using Microsoft Teams as well.

We have a couple of applications running on-prem. The roadmap is to move as much as possible onto Azure.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Visual Studio is a tool used for custom software development. It covers everything under this umbrella, including architecture for automation testing. We have between 60 and 70 users working with Visual Studio.

I've been using Microsoft Visual Studio for 10 years.

Visual Studio is stable enough. There have been some issues but not very often. 

Visual Studio is a development environment. It only runs on one computer. Everyone has their own installation. If we talk about the cloud version, it's scalable. It has served our needs. We plan to increase usage by 5 to 10 percent as our departments grow. 

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio since .NET first came out. Prior to that, I used tools with other software development languages like Eclipse. Eclipse was an IDE-independent software vendor. 

Installing Visual Studio is easy on average. Sometimes you need to install various libraries, so it depends on your setup. I would say it's medium difficulty.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio nine out of 10. 

We use this solution to support a number of different web development processes across different tools and languages. 

This solution can integrate with almost any functionality offered by Microsoft.

We have been using this solution for three years. 

This is a stable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

The pricing for licenses could be reduced to make this solution more competitive.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

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.

It is easy to integrate with GitHub. We integrate with GitHub, and we deploy our solution on our local system. We need this integration for pushing our code. When we were working with Eclipse, we had to write everything in the command prompt, which is a little bit tricky, whereas Visual Studio is very much UI-based and simple. So, it's very easy to integrate GitHub with Visual Studio. It is much easier than Eclipse.

It is also good for debugging.

With the free version, we don't have that much support for Visual Studio. Its support is a little bit less and can be better.

I have recently shifted to Microsoft Visual Studio. Before that, I was working on Eclipse. I switched because of project requirements. Initially, it was a bit difficult to understand the debugging and other functionalities, but once I got familiar with it, I find it much easier than Eclipse. It can be made a bit easier for basic users.

I have been working with this solution for two months.

It is stable.

Its scalability is good. In my team, we have around eight members.

It is straightforward. I don't find it complex. I have also used Eclipse, and when I compare it with Eclipse, it is not that complex. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Currently, in my daily work, I am using Visual Studio to develop different tools. Also, I am trying to use DevOps to manage code and different work items.

It's an excellent tool in general. There are a lot of features that are very, very nice in Visual Studio. 

We can publish directly to the premise's servers. I was testing how to publish in a cloud using Azure and it was very easy. There are a lot of good features in Visual Studio and I'm sure we can add different add-ins or add-ons to make it a little more functional as well.

We can manage our code directly via the repository. We are trying to manage the code in DevOps. With Visual Studio, we can connect to DevOps and manage the different versions that we have using the repository.

You do need to do some training in order to really take advantage of the solution.

Currently, we have issues when Visual Studio has updates. When Visual Studio has updates, right now we have issues in terms of updating our repositories. That was the current issue that we have. We need to update Visual Studio, however, we also need to update continuously the Visual Studio version due to the fact that if we don't update the Visual Studio, we have different problems that follow us.

The initial setup can be a bit complex. 

The thing that is very important is to manage your requirements and the features that you need to develop using Visual Studio. DevOps has that feature available. When we connect Visual Studio or a project with DevOps, we can manage different work items. They could improve that feature, to manage the work items requirements and different things a bit better.

I've used the solution since about 2012, across two different companies. 

It's a stable solution We don't really deal with bugs or glitches. I don't find that it crashes or freeze. It's reliable. 

We've found the product to be scalable. If a company needs to expand it out they can do so. 

We have about 15 people using it regularly right now. 

I'm not sure if we intend to expand usage just yet. We are already, this year, planning to migrate some tools to the cloud. That said, we don't know if we are going to need a little more support or people to do that.

Currently, we use different documentation that exists on the internet to assist us with troubleshooting. We currently use the Microsoft or Visual Studio page to research different functionalities or different features that we need to implement or we need to add to our project. So far, that's been quite helpful.

Initially, it was a little complex to set up. We needed to learn the different features that we could manage in Visual Studio. Right now, as we have had some time to pick things up, it's very straightforward to use.

In terms of deployment, for example, yesterday, I implemented a new version for one of the plants that we have. The tech was immediately published as we are able to use an option to publish the code. We only select the new version and automatically the code is published. It's very fast to publish a new version for the different tools that we have. In that sense, it doesn't take long to deploy.

Each developer is responsible for publishing his own tools and doesn't require another special group or another special people to deploy the tools that we are managing.

Regarding the licensing, I don't manage that. The license is updated each time that it's required to be as the company where I am working, requires that. I don't know if the license is updated monthly or annually, however. It may be annually. 

We're customers and end-users.

While this solution is currently on-premises, the plan is this year try to migrate some tools to the cloud using Azure.

I'd advise new users that it's important initially to do some training to implement Visual Studio. If there are people trying to implement Visual Studio in the company, it's very important to consider the training that will be involved and not just the licensing costs. 

I'd rate the product at a nine out of ten. It's a good solution.
