Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

I use the reporting portion of Microsoft Visual Studio.

I would like to have more integration with other platforms and technologies.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about two years now.

I have found that it is scalable. We have some old products and we have a standard expansion platform. As far as scalability goes, I have done a lot of work with access and reporting, finding ways to upgrade the old systems and old platforms, with some newer versions, or migrate to other systems. 

I use technical support for database questions.

I would rate Microsoft Visual Studio an eight out of ten.

We like Visual Studio because you can choose the different types of languages, like JavaScript. I think it's better than the other solutions I used.

The interface could be more user friendly. 

I've been working with Visual Studio for about two years.

Yeah. Stable.

I think it's good.

Microsoft support is quite responsive to our questions.

I used Sublime before. 

Straightforward

On-premises

I have been using Visual Studio for the design and implementation of an online voting system for students in the higher institution.

It has been a nice programming language. I love using it, and it has created a really great cordial relationship between my clients and me. 

The language syntax is great because it is similar to the human language, very easy to understand and to work with. 

A kind of tutorial page should be embedded in the software to enable first-time users learn more without the help of an expert. A page to explain most of the language syntax.

One to three years.

Profiling

Architecture (Code Map)

Test and Load Test

Collaboration grew through the implementation.

TFS - Agile (Scrum / Kanban)

IntelliSense

Better management of using clauses

Auto add/remove using reference

Auto detect / suggest References or Nuget Package

Six months (the 2017 version in particular).

We use the solution to check Azure codes and other things like ARM templates.

It has perfect integration into Microsoft. It goes straight to Azure, and it is massive. It can get very complicated, but because our customers use it, we need to work with them and discuss certain aspects of automation and security settings.

We recently started using this solution because specific customers found value in us having it. A particular customer uses the latest version, and we use it to automate the rollout of servers into Azure. We use it to specify that the scripts are working properly.

It is stable and running locally, so we didn't have any issues.

It's scalable. We are running it on a server, so it isn't in the cloud.

We are a Microsoft gold partner, but the technical support can be slow.

We currently also use GitHub.

The initial setup was very easy. After that, the deployment did not take a long time. For our test environment, it took a morning to enter everything, get the code and start working on it with the customer.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I use this solution to develop desktop and web applications. I have it deployed on-premises.

The most valuable feature is the integration with different databases. There are many different databases that it supports.

The reporting services are quite limited in terms of features and need to be improved.

I would like to see installation and packaging features added to the next release of this solution.

I have been using this solution for approximately two years.

This is a stable solution.

I have not needed to work with applications that needed scaling.

I think that it can handle many users, but we have between five and ten people using it.

The technical support by Microsoft is quite good.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. It was quite fast to deploy, measured in minutes. One person is enough for deployment and maintenance.

I installed the solution myself.

We did evaluate other options but choose this solution because it was more integrated with Windows.

For anybody who is implementing this solution, I would suggest checking the reporting services beforehand. They can create limitations.

Adding the installation and packaging features are really important and would improve the product a lot.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I use Visual Studio for one of my projects. I was designing programs and it helped me out making programs.

Microsoft Visual Studio could improve by being compatible with more operating systems. However, we understand the solution is proprietary to Microsoft.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for approximately three years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable and the performance was good. However, if you do not have decent hardware you will not have the same experience.

I have not used the support from Microsoft.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Visual Studio an eight out of ten.

The Visual Studio IDE is excellent in design and function. It allows you to code for a wide variety of software, including web and platform software. It supports quite a few different programming languages. It also has a GUI based visual interface editor built in, which is easy to use and allows for quick turn around in prototyping software designs.There is a free "Express" version of the IDE software available as well.

.NET apps are only compatible with Windows Phone 8 and Windows platforms. Visual Basic.NET is the primary language that Visual Studio is targeted for. Also, the price for the IDE can be expensive.

Personally, I prefer using Visual Studio as it has the code auto-complete feature, which is really awesome if you've forgotten the name of the function or API that you are calling.
