Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

We use the solution to develop web applications. I'm a programmer specialist II and we're customers of Visual Studio. 

I think the code management is the most convenient and valuable new feature. Deployment of the solution is also a very smooth process.

I think the file installations could be improved because they're very heavy and I'd like to see the solution support Python for developing purposes. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

In the previous versions, the product wasn't so stable, but in this latest 2019 version they have fixed the issue and it's now a stable solution. 

The scalability is good in this solution. We have about five developers in the company using it on a regular basis. 

I'm very satisfied with the support. 

It is easy to install, the only issue being that it takes up a lot of memory. We had two people involved with the deployment and implementation took a few days. We didn't use any consultants, we just followed the documentation.

This is a simple product to use and the best advice I can give is to follow the documentation. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

Our primary use case of this solution is to develop and maintain the main programs of the company for which we work.

I really like the distributed software programming on the Windows platform and also we need to develop on this platform since the company's computers work with the Windows network. I like that I don't need any additional software to develop on this platform.

I haven't had any issues with the stability of this solution.

I believe the solution is scalable and we can increase our number of developers. We currently have 15 users. 

We don't really use technical support. Whenever we have an issue, we search on the internet for a solution. 

We used other solutions before, but we decided to switch to Microsoft Visual Studio because it is the best solution for developing the Windows platform. We considered using Delphi Solutions, but few people were familiar with the platform, so we chose Visual Studio. More people use Visual Studio.

The solution comes at a good price and, even though there are free versions out there on the market, I still prefer this product because I like its interface.

My advice to others is to simply install it and use it. I am really satisfied with this solution. My rating is eight out of ten. In the next version, I would like to see a better development tool. The current Mobile Application Development is very integrated.

Our primary use case of this solution is for performance testing.

The feature I find most valuable is the fact that it's broad-spectrum, so it can be used for a wide variety of technologies. We are predominately .NET based and we use mostly .NET Core or .NET Framework so I can call in any immediate packages.

I would only say the deployment outline can be improved. We have shifted away from using Team Foundation Server, because it didn't work for our company. We shifted over to the Git approach and I do know that the Team Foundation Server has Git support. But we decided to rather go with GitLab as our main platform. 

In terms of more support I would like to have the ability to plug into other open source pools. I know that it's focused towards the whole Microsoft Suite so it's more geared towards the Team Foundation Server, but if they can add more support to pools, that would be great.

In terms of stability, it really works for us. There are drawbacks to every solution out there, it's built into it. Our company is stripped across using Visual Studio. Some of the architects use Visual Studio Code so they don't really need an extent of IDE. They have a nice cut of IDE using Visual Studio Code. In terms of stability, I don't think we have shifted away from Visual Studio at all. It will always remain our IDE tool of choice.

With Microservice Architecture it has become very easy for us to scale out. I think it's more about the way that we handle scale. The tool allows it. I would say the hardships comes with the planning for scale, as opposed to the actual tool accommodating itself. We have about 1500 users on Visual Studio and then we have a small team dedicated to the maintenance of the deployment. 

The technical team at Microsoft is known for their fast response time.

We utilized a bunch of templates for the initial setup instead of going through the trials and tribulations of setting up everything at once. 

I would highly recommend this solution. They've really gone the 9-mile to accommodate not only corporate or big companies, but small, single users to utilize the community issue or business vehicle, and to develop and build on application. I would highly recommend it to anyone. In the next version, I would like to see systems like Juta as well as more testing tools. There's a massive automation drive, anything in terms of more out of the box automation features for Selenium, or ACRONYM, or automation tools like that. I rate this program ten 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.

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 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.

C++ desktop development.

It's easy to use and has a highly customizable IDE that is good for cross-platform development.

Support for many languages and cross-platform development makes it highly versatile.

Support for spell checking comments should be inbuilt and automatically installed.

We use it for development of internal software projects. I am satisfied with it.

We can easily build solutions with this tool and we can get help from many other resources.

It's a universal solution. I like that I can easily find software developers for it. I can easily find staff on Microsoft forums. Also, we have other components that are running on top of Visual Studio. I like that it is open to other platforms. Finally, there are many many resources for Microsoft Visual Studio and I can easily find support. There is a large knowledge base for it as well.

I would like to see support for rapid application development. For example, if I am developing a new project, I am repeating many similar steps again and again and again. But the platform could do this easily, instead of me. It would save me time. This is something I would like to have in Microsoft Visual Studio, to have it take over repetitive tasks from me.

It's a stable solution.

Scalability is fine.

Technical support is good.

The switch depended on a cost-benefit analysis. It was positive for me.

In this type of solution, application development, there are only a few possibilities. One of them is Microsoft. Another one is Delphi. We chose between just these two solutions. Microsoft was very dominant.

I rate it an eight out of 10 because, as I said earlier, it could have more options to speed up development by handling repetitive tasks. But I would recommend Visual Studio.

When selecting a vendor I look at support and the name of the company.

Creating web sites and APIs using Angular, jQuery, MVC, and Web API. Desktop and server side assets are primarily in C#, however I use it to edit older ASPX pages for web apps written in VB.NET.

It is an excellent IDE, but the corporate features are what set it apart. We use TFS for our scrums, which links our tasks to actual code changes.

Personally, in my job as a developer, the version control system has been very helpful. It is also flexible enough to let me use Git as well as its own version control mechanism.

It would be nice if Visual Studio's extensions and updates could self-correct, if they are not working or disabled, and also inform the user. Lately, for example, NuGet Package Manager has failed gracefully, but it did not say why.
