I primarily use Cognosys Secured Visual Studio Professional for developing Azure functions, working with Python on CCR, and managing database projects. While I'm involved in some application development, particularly with Azure functions, I'm not a professional backend developer.
With just a few keyboard shortcuts or menu clicks, I can create functions and scaffolds quickly, which boosts my productivity
Pros
"Some of the features I find most valuable in Cognosys Secured Visual Studio Professional are the SQL tools for schema and data comparison, integration with Git for version control, and deployment tools for interacting with the cloud. These tools enhance productivity significantly, especially for smaller environments, although proper CICD practices should still be followed for larger organizations. "
Cons
"I think it would be beneficial to improve the capabilities of Cognosys Secured Visual Studio Professional to interact more seamlessly with open-source languages like Python, alongside existing support for Microsoft technologies."
