Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

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.

The time it took for the deployment was approximately one day.

We did the deployment of the solution in-house but we had a consultant with the GitHub integration.

The solution is expensive.

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

I am the only person that is needed for maintaining the solution.

My advice to others is to do small steps at the beginning to make it simple. This solution is very large and is best to do it in small steps.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio an eight 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.  

You can use the solution to do coding and drag and drop. It is easy to install with web documentation. 

Microsoft Visual Studio needs to improve integration. 

I have been using the product for 15 years. 

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

The tool's deployment is straightforward. Deployment takes between ten minutes to one day. One resource is enough to handle the deployment. 

Microsoft Visual Studio is not expensive. Its licensing costs are expensive. 

I rate the product a nine out of ten. 

We use Microsoft Visual Studio for general development, web development, and IT development.

Microsoft Visual Studio is an easy-to-use solution. All recent versions of Microsoft Visual Studio have live code, which allows multiple people to code on the same thing. The other valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the integrations and extensions.

The solution’s technical support could be improved.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for more than ten years.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio ten out of ten for stability.

Over 1,000 users are using the solution in our organization.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine out of ten for scalability.

The solution's technical support is average. In some cases, I find it very good, and in other cases not so good.

The solution's initial setup takes a while but is quite straightforward.

We purchased an expensive enterprise version of Microsoft Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio helps streamline team collaboration. I would recommend Microsoft Visual Studio to other users.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine out of ten.

I use Visual Studio to build software for the Microsoft platform.

Visual Studio provides integration with GitHub, and the 2022 version makes it easy to move from one branch to another via the GUI when working on a solution. It also provides a view of how the branches are organized with the code inside the repository. 

Visual Studio's best feature is debugging, which isn't available with any other Microsoft development tool.

There's not much help to deal with issues on Microsoft's official websites.

I've been using Visual Studio since 2005.

Visual Studio is stable 95% of the time, except for an error when refreshing DLLs that requires a restart.

Visual Studio is the best tool available for working on the Microsoft platform, with features that aren't available on any other development tool. I would rate Visual Studio nine out of ten.

We use it basically for just coding. 

It's great for personal use. 

The extensions are valuable. I was able to download the extensions that were important to me. For example, I can use the solution to highlight syntax on the code or change the theme of Visual Studio. Or, if I'm working on PHP, I can download the PHP extension. If it's Python, I can download Python extensions. Et cetera. It's flexible and gives you options. 

The solution can scale. The solution is also very stable. 

It's updated regularly. 

The cost is reasonable, and they do have a free option.

I can't speak to any necessary improvements. It does what I need it to do. 

I'd like the product to become more secure. You could potentially, for example, download an extension that contains malware. 

I've used the solution over the past three or four years. 

The solution is stable. It has regular updates. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash. 

The solution is able to scale. 

I basically use the solution myself for my purposes. 

I didn't really use tech support so much. I wouldn't know much about it.

I did not previously use a different product. 

You just download the solution and have it running on your system. Therefore, the setup is pretty straightforward. It only takes a few minutes to get everything up and running. 

The implementation can be done in-house. We didn't need any integrators or consultants to assist us. 

There is a free version of the solution, which I 've used. I'd rate the cost of the solution overall eight out of ten. It's pretty reasonable. 

I would recommend the product to others. It supports different types of software development for websites, web apps, mobile apps, computer programs, or any other web services.

I'd rate it eight 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.

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.
