Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

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. 

I think Microsoft Visual Studio is a good tool.

I think it is very successful and easy to use. I currently do not see any areas to develop. Microsoft Visual Studio is an excellent product.

The stability is fine.

We have a very scalable solution with Microsoft Visual Studio.

We have not had the need to use technical support, but the website has been good.

The initial setup could be more straightforward. After the initial setup, it is easy to use and develop codes in different languages.

A license is required. I think it is a good product, but the price is high. They could sell it at a better price point.

I would rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine 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.

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.

Our primary use case for this solution is web design. We use the community version on the desktop app.

The codes and the code areas are valuable features.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. The solution is good, but additional components such as add-ons could be included in the installation packages because it saves time for the user during installation.

We have been using this solution for a very long time.

The solution is stable, and it has no issues.

The solution is scalable but I cannot comment on the number of people using it within our organization.

I rate the customer service and support team a ten out of ten.

Positive

We previously used SharePoint Designer. However, Microsoft Visual Studio was more robust and interacted better with each component.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We implemented it through an in-house team.

I cannot comment on the prices for licensing, but we are on the community version because many companies cannot afford the license packages for companies. So the licenses could be a little bit cheaper.
