Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

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.

We use Visual Studio for development and for projects using VS Code and Visual Studio Code.

The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integrated development environment. It also offers a very good integration with Microsoft Cloud.

This solution could be integrated with other open-source languages, such as Python and not only C#, .NET or Microsoft development languages.

We have been using this solution for two years.

This is a scalable solution. Scalability is not such an important parameter for us because we use this solution as a development tool.

We use NetBeans for Java development. When I compare NetBeans with Visual Studio, Visual Studio is more professional than NetBeans.

The initial setup is straightforward and took less than half a day. 

Yeah, of course. We work to use the Professional Visual Studio, because they have some capabilities for CI/CD pipeline. For that reason, in the future, maybe six months later, we will start to use Visual Studio Professional.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for internal application development within our organization. For example, small application developments.

Microsoft Visual Studio's most valuable features are usability. It's an integrated development environment, they have a lot of built-in tools that will be helpful for a new developer to quickly develop their applications, such as mobile applications or web applications.

There are a lot of materials or online resources that are available. Microsoft Visual Studio is easy to figure out and start working on it.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for approximately 10 years.

The stability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good.

I have not seen any difficulties when scaling Microsoft Visual Studio.

We have four users in the IT department using this solution in my company.

I did not face any issues needed to use the technical support.

I have not used a previous solution.

The initial setup of Microsoft Visual Studio is not complex, it is simple. When using Azure DevOps for the deployment of Microsoft Visual Studio it only takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

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

The price of Microsoft Visual Studio is reasonable but could be better.

I am satisfied with the solution. I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio an 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.

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.

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.
