Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

The early use of Microsoft Visual Studio was for developing and creating software applications. Then, with technology development, I used Microsoft Visual Studio to create cross-platform software applications such as web, mobile, and desktop applications. 

Microsoft Visual Studio also provides debugging tools, project management tools, and source control which makes project management easier for me - especially after I combine it with Git. 

Microsoft Visual Studio allows me to create and manage projects, write code, and debug and test applications. Also, it helps me with advanced features to develop applications for the cloud, IoT, and AI.

Microsoft Visual Studio helps my company improve efficiency in software development suites. 

It includes various features, such as an integrated development environment, source control, debugging, and deployment tools. 

Visual Studio also enables teams to collaborate and share code more efficiently. This can help companies streamline development processes and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks. 

Additionally, Visual Studio provides a comprehensive set of debugging tools that can help enterprises quickly identify and resolve issues. 

Finally, Visual Studio offers a suite of features that allow companies to customize their development environment, such as templates and extensions, that can help them optimize their workflow.

Sometimes being able to complete one line of code with many functions and lines requires a lot of mental and physical precision. However, Microsoft Visual Studio helped me with IntelliSense. IntelliSense helped me with autocomplete and code snippets to help speed up development. It also helps me quickly find and deploy the right code. 

Apart from that, in terms of development, my team and I sometimes continue to improve and perfect the website or application that is being worked on so that everything is neat and well-tracked. For that, I use version control. Version control is a feature built into Visual Studio that helps me manage and track changes to the code I'm working on. This helps ensure that teams work from the same codebase and can quickly roll back to a previous version if needed.

Microsoft Visual Studio can improve integration with the Microsoft Office suite; this was only implemented in 2022. Why this is important is that almost all companies have MS Office to work with, and nowadays, automation is becoming an effective role model to increase company efficiency and can save operational costs and purchase technology licenses. 

Microsoft Visual Studio can be used to create applications that integrate directly with the Microsoft Office suite. This includes Office applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. With this integration, enterprises can create powerful applications that utilize existing Office features and capabilities. 

For example, I can use Visual Studio to create a custom Excel add-in that adds new features and capabilities to a spreadsheet application. Then I can also create Outlook add-ins that provide additional functionality to the email client. Additionally, Visual Studio could be used to create applications that interact with Office documents, enabling companies to develop sophisticated applications that interact with Office documents in new and exciting ways.

I've been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about four years for code editing, debugging, test tracking, and GUI development.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a very stable development environment. It's been around for years and has a proven track record of reliability. 

It is updated regularly with new features and bug fixes and is designed to be highly customizable and expandable. 

With a comprehensive set of tools and debugging capabilities, Visual Studio provides the ideal development environment for me or company interns. Overall, Microsoft Visual Studio has a very stable and reliable development environment.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a comprehensive development environment with tools for various development needs. 

It is designed to scale easily across projects running in companies of all sizes and complexities. 

Visual Studio is highly scalable and provides developers with powerful features that help me build robust and efficient applications. 

Visual Studio supports multiple languages and technologies, such as .NET, C#, C++, HTML, JavaScript, and more. It also provides an intuitive interface for quickly building, debugging, and deploying applications. Plus, Visual Studio is highly extensible, letting me customize the IDE to suit my particular needs. 

Visual Studio also includes various integrations with popular third-party tools and services, such as GitHub, Azure, and others. With its scalability, Visual Studio is a great choice for teams.

Technical support is very helpful for directing our problem to a solution precisely and quickly.

I didn't switch from another platform or vendor. That said, I combined something with Visual Studio Code. There are some plugins that only I can use in Visual Studio Code and the Visual Studio Code community is more active.

The initial setup is a little complex and needs to be adjusted to the device used.

With an in-house team, we could handle the setup ourselves.

For setup costs, I suggest making Microsoft Visual Code the main tool for final testing before releasing it to the public. Subscribing to Microsoft Visual Studio will be quite expensive for a small company. Therefore, other teams can use open-source coding tools.

I did evaluate Eclipse IDE.

I like the price-sharing method and direct support for developers from Microsoft.

Private Cloud

I have used Visual Studio in my school to develop small applications for college assignments. It's basically for software development.

I use all healthcare tools. I work with digital care, so I work on integration engines, which are basic. I handle the interface engines. Integration engines are what I'm mostly working on. For example, I'm working a lot with Rhapsody and Mirth.

Visual Studio is used by software developers who develop applications. I am just a consultant. I was just trying to manage my skills and have just used it recently. 

The design feature is really helpful. It's just a drag-and-drop process, which speeds up the design state of the project. I think designing any application is quite precise, and it's easier to do than any other application.

It is pretty simple to set up.

The stability is good. 

For Visual Studio, the only challenge I've faced is referencing any package or new concept I'm trying to debug or run. For example, with Visual Studio, you must import a package if you're doing any specific development. You need to import that package if you're developing a specific programming language. Maybe they could have a framework that includes everything. Sometimes you have to go out of your way and search for a specific package so that you have the code that you need.

It's too soon for me to provide feedback for Visual Studio since I've not been an active user of that software for very long. Maybe they could have documentation that includes everything so the information you need is easy to find.

I've used it maybe for a year, a little more than a year.

The solution is quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.

It's just me who's using it right now for my personal use. Of course, it is used widely. I'm pretty sure there are millions of people using Visual Studio.

It's easy to implement. I just did download it from the net. It was quite easy. You just downloaded and install it. It takes maybe an hour.

There is no cost involved. You simply download the solution. 

It is a desktop application. It is not on the cloud. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's easy to use.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

On-premises

I'm using Visual Studio 2022 on a MacBook. 

The installation process is not difficult. 

It's good overall. 

The solution is stable. 

We have no issues with scaling. 

I don't know what area needs to be better.

Every time it updates, there are issues. It alerts to an exception and then quits. They need to improve that aspect.

We would like a .NET core API. Currently, Visual Studio is using a .NET core six version.

I've been using the solution for around four years. 

It's a stable solution. There are no bugs. It works well. 

The solution can scale as needed.

We have around 5,000 people on it. Typically, they are developers. 

The solution itself is good. We don't have issues. I've never had to contact support.

I have had to contact the Microsoft team due to some items surrounding the Xamarin platform, however.

We chose Microsoft Visual Studio due to the fact that it's a .NET part for developing applications and contains many more things like C#, a mobile application for Xamarin, and MBC, et cetera. That's why many people are using it. I can't speak to what was used before.

It's very simple to install the solution. First, you need to install it, then, we need to install Xcode for iOS and Android SDK for Android. We need to install the Xamarin profiler when using Visual Studio as well.

It's a big file that you need to download during installation. For Android and iOS, it's something like a 20GB file that needs to be downloaded. Visual Studio is not more than 3GB to 4GB to set up, however, Android SDK is a very big file, which is why it's more than 15GB.

I don't deal with the licensing aspects of the product. I'm not sure how much we pay.

Currently, I'm using Visual Studio version 2022.

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's a great product.

It's very easy to understand and develop the application.

I'd rate it an eight out of ten.

I use Microsoft Visual Studio to develop software.

What I like the most about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's useful. It's also a very stable solution, and is scalable as well. It's quick to set up as it only took me a few seconds to do it.

What I don't like about Microsoft Visual Studio is its user interface. It could be better. WebStorm is a better solution for me as it has a good user interface and is more user-friendly, though my friends like Microsoft Visual Studio. I worked with WebStorm for the web layer, and for the server layer, I worked with IBM Eclipse which is my favorite software. I also dealt with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS through Angular.

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

Microsoft Visual Studio is a very stable solution.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a scalable solution.

We use the internet, for example, YouTube sites to solve issues about Microsoft Visual Studio. We don't contact their support team.

We have two people for the deployment and maintenance of Microsoft Visual Studio.

The cost of using Microsoft Visual Studio is approximately $1,700 per user.

I rate the price of Microsoft Visual Studio a four out of five.

I evaluated other solutions before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, such as DELFI. I chose Microsoft Visual Studio because it was easier to use and more flexible.

The best advice I can give to others is to take training because it's so easy to use out of the box. However, you might tend to install it and maybe configure it improperly. You need to have some training.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine out of ten.

On-premises

We are a services company, and we use Microsoft Visual Studio for .NET development, application development, and related tasks.

I find Microsoft Visual Studio to be a good development environment. Its integration with SQL and features like check-in, check-out, and integration with Visual SourceSafe and now the Azure counterpart are very effective for debugging applications.

The integration of automation capabilities, such as code auto-generation, would be beneficial. Copilot integration and other automation tools would definitely increase productivity.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio since its inception, which is more than ten years.

I believe the solution is very stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a fully scalable solution with no limitations.

Technical support from Microsoft is very good; I would rate it a ten.

Positive

Previously, I was using HTML Editor for JavaScript coding. I got into development, and that's why I switched to Microsoft Visual Studio.

The installation of the solution is easy.

I don't have any cloud, but there is some setup file available for installation, and I use that.

We use Microsoft VSTS to deploy CI/CD pipelines, so it automatically builds the application and publishes it. Therefore, we don't face any problems.

There are two engineers taking care of the deployment.

The solution doesn't require any maintenance.

I had evaluated some other options. I chose to go with Microsoft since my organization's technology is based on Microsoft, which is why it is easier to work with Microsoft Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a vast application. We need to explore more and make use of it. I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

On-premises

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.
