Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

I am a DevOps engineer. I work from Ecuador for clients around LatAm, principally banks. I work with the banks that use DevOps continuous integration and continuous deployment. I also work with Visual Studio.

Windows Presentation Foundation or WPF is valuable. It's a tool to give clients a user interface for Windows applications. The summary for mobile applications is also very useful.

You need a lot of RAM to run the applications with Visual Studio and Unity. For example, if you want to do work on a game, you need a lot of resources or RAM for Visual Studio and Unity.

There could be some features related to Azure DevOps. There could be some features for YAML pipelines in Visual Studio.

I have been using this solution for 14 years.

We can find a lot of information on the internet when we have any issues.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10. 

It was in 2004 when I first experienced Visual Studio 2003 as an IT student. Now that I am working as a programmer, I used the newer version which is Visual Studio 2008. Here are the few reasons why I chose .Net for so many years: • I can create console, Windows form, Web Forms, Smart device and mobile applications, XML web and windows services using different languages such as Visual Basic, C#, J# and C++ • I love the drag and drop ability of the items and controls using Visual Designers • I love the Toolbox with many useful and unique items that even Netbeans or Eclipse does not have such as Timer, DateTimePicker, Process Dialog and etc. • I adore the integrated, highly professional looking Crystal in VS 2008 and later versions • Express editions are free and suitable for students

• Visual Studio.Net is only used for Microsoft Windows Operating system. • Other than the express edition, Visual studio products are not for free. • Crystal Report is not included in Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 and requires a separate download.

Being an educator and a programmer for 8 years, I can say that Visual Studio .Net is the best development tool for desktop and web applications. I am absolutely recommending Visual Studio .Net to my fellow programmers, web developers and even to students, hobbyists and new learners.

We use the solution to develop web applications. I'm a programmer specialist II and we're customers of Visual Studio. 

I think the code management is the most convenient and valuable new feature. Deployment of the solution is also a very smooth process.

I think the file installations could be improved because they're very heavy and I'd like to see the solution support Python for developing purposes. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

In the previous versions, the product wasn't so stable, but in this latest 2019 version they have fixed the issue and it's now a stable solution. 

The scalability is good in this solution. We have about five developers in the company using it on a regular basis. 

I'm very satisfied with the support. 

It is easy to install, the only issue being that it takes up a lot of memory. We had two people involved with the deployment and implementation took a few days. We didn't use any consultants, we just followed the documentation.

This is a simple product to use and the best advice I can give is to follow the documentation. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

On-premises

It provides manageable code execution, it's object oriented, the .net framework comes with ado.net, it uses xml to transfer data between the various layers in the architecture, has error handling properties, automatic memory management, disconnected architecture, and is a multi-platform application. It is a consistent programming model, has multi-language integration, and ease of development.

Needs skills, and some versions have less features. One cannot run unsaved code or use generics and operator overloading. It requires a .net framework which xp sp3 doesn’t have.

Developing various .NET solutions, making sure code is well tested and debugging issues with it, then publishing the code from the application.

No one can say that VS IDE is bad. It is definitely sophisticated and provides many out-of-the-box features. Going community has boosted all that.

• Code navigation by symbols
• Document auto formatting
• Testing tools
• Publishing tools
• Performance testing
• Reference usage 

Since it is a heavy product, it is somewhat slow in building and executing the code in a localhost environment and it consumes a lot of resources.

Three to five years.

Offers an excellent platform to develop Desktop, Web, and Mobile Applications.Supports various programming languages.Includes various features for rapid application development (Like Drag & Drop, IntelliSense).

As .NET Framework bundles more and more components, utilities, and API's, the size of the downloadable is large..NET desktop applications can run only on a windows platform.Code editor is expensive.

Even though Visual Studio.NET offers great features and functions, the cross-platform issues cannot be overlooked.
