Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

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 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.

Hybrid Cloud

Microsoft Azure

I use Microsoft Visual Studio primarily for development. It has a code analyzer with various options to analyze the code that I have written. It provides intelligence for whatever language I am using and offers DevOps integrations.

A very valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is the debugger, which is helpful for debugging applications line by line. Additionally, the integration with various services is easy, and with Copilot, it becomes easier to learn and understand Microsoft Visual Studio features. It has many useful features for development purposes. The features available in Microsoft Visual Studio are beneficial for making builds, deployments, and everything related to dot net projects with C#. This provides great efficiency in my work. We frequently handle dot net projects with C#, utilizing all sorts of features to facilitate building and deploying, which add significant value.

I found something that I am facing challenges with: Docker integration within Microsoft Visual Studio. I think there is an option for this, but I have not explored it yet. Furthermore, if AI could be integrated into more features, it would expedite my work and would be very helpful.

I have been using the product gradually since around 2005.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

The solution is scalable, depending on my client's demand.

I am facing some problems with technical support. I'm working with a client account, and I'm not able to create a support ticket for some issues. Previously, I used to create a ticket on the Azure portal and get help from the support team, but now it's not working as it used to.

Neutral

The initial setup has resolved a lot year on year. It's straightforward and has improved more from time to time.

IT permission is needed, so I cannot install it myself.

In terms of expedited development, Microsoft Visual Studio features have saved me maybe five percent of time.

If AI can help expedite tasks, that would be helpful because now AI is going everywhere. I'd rate my overall experience with Microsoft Visual Studio at eight to nine points.

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.

On-premises

We use Visual Studio for development and for projects using VS Code and Visual Studio Code.

The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integrated development environment. It also offers a very good integration with Microsoft Cloud.

This solution could be integrated with other open-source languages, such as Python and not only C#, .NET or Microsoft development languages.

We have been using this solution for two years.

This is a scalable solution. Scalability is not such an important parameter for us because we use this solution as a development tool.

We use NetBeans for Java development. When I compare NetBeans with Visual Studio, Visual Studio is more professional than NetBeans.

The initial setup is straightforward and took less than half a day. 

Yeah, of course. We work to use the Professional Visual Studio, because they have some capabilities for CI/CD pipeline. For that reason, in the future, maybe six months later, we will start to use Visual Studio Professional.

I would rate this solution an eight 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.
