Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

It was in 2004 when I first experienced Visual Studio 2003 as an IT student. Now that I am working as a programmer, I used the newer version which is Visual Studio 2008. Here are the few reasons why I chose .Net for so many years: • I can create console, Windows form, Web Forms, Smart device and mobile applications, XML web and windows services using different languages such as Visual Basic, C#, J# and C++ • I love the drag and drop ability of the items and controls using Visual Designers • I love the Toolbox with many useful and unique items that even Netbeans or Eclipse does not have such as Timer, DateTimePicker, Process Dialog and etc. • I adore the integrated, highly professional looking Crystal in VS 2008 and later versions • Express editions are free and suitable for students

• Visual Studio.Net is only used for Microsoft Windows Operating system. • Other than the express edition, Visual studio products are not for free. • Crystal Report is not included in Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 and requires a separate download.

Being an educator and a programmer for 8 years, I can say that Visual Studio .Net is the best development tool for desktop and web applications. I am absolutely recommending Visual Studio .Net to my fellow programmers, web developers and even to students, hobbyists and new learners.

It provides manageable code execution, it's object oriented, the .net framework comes with ado.net, it uses xml to transfer data between the various layers in the architecture, has error handling properties, automatic memory management, disconnected architecture, and is a multi-platform application. It is a consistent programming model, has multi-language integration, and ease of development.

Needs skills, and some versions have less features. One cannot run unsaved code or use generics and operator overloading. It requires a .net framework which xp sp3 doesn’t have.

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.

Offers an excellent platform to develop Desktop, Web, and Mobile Applications.Supports various programming languages.Includes various features for rapid application development (Like Drag & Drop, IntelliSense).

As .NET Framework bundles more and more components, utilities, and API's, the size of the downloadable is large..NET desktop applications can run only on a windows platform.Code editor is expensive.

Even though Visual Studio.NET offers great features and functions, the cross-platform issues cannot be overlooked.

We are a services company, and we use Microsoft Visual Studio for .NET development, application development, and related tasks.

I find Microsoft Visual Studio to be a good development environment. Its integration with SQL and features like check-in, check-out, and integration with Visual SourceSafe and now the Azure counterpart are very effective for debugging applications.

The integration of automation capabilities, such as code auto-generation, would be beneficial. Copilot integration and other automation tools would definitely increase productivity.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio since its inception, which is more than ten years.

I believe the solution is very stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a fully scalable solution with no limitations.

Technical support from Microsoft is very good; I would rate it a ten.

Positive

I find the initial setup of Microsoft Visual Studio to be simple, and I can do it alone without needing more people.

I can handle the installation all by myself.

I am not directly involved with the pricing since our company does bulk purchases. Generally, we are pretty happy with Microsoft products.

I have not worked with any competitive products similar to Microsoft Visual Studio.

Prospective users should know that it's very easy to set up and use Microsoft Visual Studio, ensuring a good user experience. I would rate my overall experience with Microsoft Visual Studio a ten.

I use the product to develop software. 

The tool is good for interactive testing. It has good integrations and works well for remote services. The product also has features for collaborative work where it allows others to control my screen. It has a good community for every language. 

I have faced configuration issues with Microsoft Visual Studio. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

The solution is stable. 

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

I haven't reached out to the tool's support. 

Microsoft Visual Studio's setup is straightforward. It is easy to download the solution and you need to allow permissions depending on whether you are a Mac or Windows user.  

I use Microsoft Visual Studio's free version. 

I would rate the tool a nine out of ten. 

On-premises

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.

We use Microsoft Visual Studio for application development and our customers.

I like the IDE or the integrated development environment. It's the best IDE.

IntelliSense could be better.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for 20 years.

Stability is excellent.

Scalability is excellent. We have about 15 developers using this solution in our organization.

The initial setup was straightforward. It took less than 30 minutes to implement this solution.

We deployed this solution in-house. 

We have received a return on our investment.

Licensing costs are reasonable. 

I would recommend this solution to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft Visual Studio a ten.
