Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

We use this solution for developing enterprise projects.

It is a beneficial tool because we can write programming code, write our test cases and automate tests in Visual Studio.NET. Additionally, after we develop projects, we can automate and test. It also provides an integrated development environment where we can design our page and program it. It works well both on the front and back end.

The solution could be improved by including an axle intelligence
for tech suggestions and suggesting the dependencies between API. When we use some APIs, we have to add the dependency ourselves in Microsoft Visual Studio. However, with axle intelligence, when an API is added to a project, it can find the dependency of the API and add it automatically.

We have been using this solution for about 17 years now and we are currently using the 2019 version.

The solution is very stable. It works very well once it is open and has never crashed.

The solution is scalable, and scalability depends on what we use the tool for. It has various tools we can use in whatever way we choose. Currently, six people are using this product in our company.

We have had a very good experience with customer service and support.
Whenever we post an issue, someone in the support team reaches out to us within 24 hours. Therefore, I would rate the support team a ten out of ten.

We used Borland IDE before switching to this solution. Borland C++ builder was a good product then, but we switched to this solution because we think Microsoft Visual Studio is currently the best IDE.

The initial setup is straightforward. It just needs to be downloaded and installed from Microsoft.

We implemented this solution on our own. We work with Microsoft Visual Studio on our PCs, which is installed on every PC. For each project, we have a manager and a group of about five to 60 staff members comprising engineers, administrators and managers. We extend our team and employ new people whenever we get a new project.

Unfortunately, we cannot comment on ROI because we are using the community edition.

Unfortunately, because our country is under hefty sanctions, we could not buy this product so we use the community edition, which is a free version. However, we believe the cost of licensing for this product is logical.

I rate this product a ten out of ten. This product is a very good choice for people searching for an Integrated IDE. Microsoft IDE is very integrated and does not require other tools except Microsoft Visual Studio.NET. However, the product could be improved by including axle intelligence.

It is great for integration with Excel. For example, with Microsoft Access, you can make fast elementary analyses for the business. It is very easy to use.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a powerful product that we can use for visualization. We currently use it for simple business tasks and financial graphics.

The scalability could be improved.

We have been using this solution for more than ten years, and it is deployed on cloud.

The stability depends on the solution that you need. If you use a lot of data, it's not stable, but if you use it for business tasks, it's stable because they are simple tasks.

It is not scalable, and it could be better. About 200 people use Microsoft Visual Studio in my company.

I rate this solution a four out of ten. I would recommend this solution depending on the business case. It is a very simple and nice tool for simple tasks, but I would not recommend it for complex tasks.

I can't speak to performance because it's a cloud solution, and it depends on the cloud. When you are using real-time data, you need the results immediately, so if the cloud is not fast enough, it's an issue. Results aren't provided in real-time, but if it is on-premises, this can be avoided. But if it is on-premises, you must give up some features. Therefore, it is challenging to determine performance.

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.

The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages.

It also has a very good interface for Git source code management. Then there are a couple of add-ins or plug-ins that are out there in the marketplace that sometimes come in handy. From a developer standpoint, it does a very good job when it comes to debugging. It's a great development tool. 

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. 

The solution has good technical support.

It has a ton of options and that sometimes can become very, very overwhelming for a new person, a new developer. If something can be done around simplifying the product, for example, if there's a way, to just have enough options that are relevant for me, that could probably help.

The upgrade system is a bit complex. If they're upgrading something, then they should not force us to go to the next version. Maybe they should probably just release a fix or something that, and once we implement that fix, it gives us at least a choice that you're good for some time even if you don't want to upgrade.

A ton of time is just spent trying to keep ourselves up with the frequent releases that Microsoft rolls out. That is something that takes away from our productive time that we could have invested that time to enhance your application, and could have worked on additional features or functionalities, however, you end up spending that time just to upgrade your current solution to the next version that they roll out.

I've been using the solution for three years, however, my team members have been using it for ten to 12 years now.

In terms of the stability, the frequent upgrades that they roll out and then they force us to upgrade the solution, upgrade the tool itself, those sometimes can be a nuisance.

Most of the time, I see my team members end up spending a lot of time just upgrading the application to the next .NET framework. Or sometimes even the Microsoft Visual Studio version that gets rolled out and then you just have to do that upgrade. Therefore, the frequent upgrades that happen just don't support the older ones, they just take it off support, which causes a lot of nuisance.

The project that I'm part of is a huge team for sure. We are a team of a couple hundred. 

There have been instances in the past where we have reached out to Microsoft.

Support-wise, they're doing a fair job. I don't mind that. Whenever we reach out, we do get help.

It was a pretty easy setup. For us, basically, it comes with some preconfigured settings. The license that we have is a project from our customer. It is fairly straightforward.

We had a third party help us with the initial setup. We did not do it completely by ourselves.

I'm not someone who concerns myself with the cost. That said, my understanding is the license cost is a lot. Before customers roll out a license for any developer, they make sure that it is relevant and it's required for the job. 

We use the enterprise edition of the product. We're using the latest version.

We're end-users of Visual Studio. We're also using Microsoft Teams as well.

We have a couple of applications running on-prem. The roadmap is to move as much as possible onto Azure.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use this solution to support a number of different web development processes across different tools and languages. 

This solution can integrate with almost any functionality offered by Microsoft.

We have been using this solution for three years. 

This is a stable solution. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

The pricing for licenses could be reduced to make this solution more competitive.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

One of the most valuable features is its support. It's easy for me to get support even though I never use it. If there's a bug or a performance issue, Microsoft also provides quick updates, and this is another valuable feature of the program.

A room for improvement in Microsoft Visual Studio is its performance. Currently, some of our devices are not that capable, so performance still needs to be improved.

An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Visual Studio to make it better is a more centralized education system, e.g. for Microsoft to put the tutorial for the program under Microsoft Learn.

I've been working with Microsoft Visual Studio for two years, and I'm still using it.

The stability of Microsoft Visual Studio is okay, but it could be more stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a scalable program. It's enough for me, and I'm utilizing it a lot, and that's one of the most important things for me.

I'm using my company's equipment, so Microsoft Visual Studio is already set up on it. The program's easy to set up.

I'm using the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio, e.g. the 2022 version if I remember correctly. It depends on what my company is using.

The most valuable thing about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's already deployed in my company and used by my company, so I can just use it. That's the reason I'm using the program.

I haven't contacted technical support for Microsoft Visual Studio.

I'm giving Microsoft Visual Studio a rating of eight out of ten.

It's mainly used for development. Therefore, it's mainly for either developers or IT development companies where they produce products and then sell them.

It's great for when you want to do development, such as on an enterprise-size project that requires a lot of teams also to be working on that project and that It's also good for helping with the workflow of the development in general.

It's mainly for the organizations that are working on development. First of all, of course, it helps the organization due to the ease of use. It's been a legacy application. It's been working for years and it is already integrated with the cloud.

It's used to provide the support to develop on multiple platforms, whether it is computer devices, web, cloud, or even mobile applications with the same IDE, which is the Visual Studio itself. 

It's a very easy-to-use product.

The support is great. The community and the documentation support for it are great. Whatever you are missing, you are going to find it at Microsoft help.

It's easy to set up.

The stability is good.

You can scale it well.

It would be great if they added some extra support for other languages that are available in the market and prepared it for the, let's say, crypto developers as we are going in the age of cryptocurrency.

If it was more friendly for the simple or starter developer, it would be great. It's friendly anyway, however, it would be better if there was a way to enhance it in a much more usable way as a user-experience type for the new customers or newbies who want to enter the technology.

I've been using Microsoft Visual Studio since the early versions of VB6, which is like in 2006 or 2005.

The stability is great. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

The product, since it supports DevOps and is connected to the cloud, is scalable. It can take on many users. It's a per-user installation. It's not a server application. It's a computer-based application. 

There is a new version of it. I didn't try it yet, however, it is fully over the cloud where the development happens on the cloud in Azure. Since I didn't try it, I can't comment on that.

The support is great and so is the supporting documentation. You can easily find answers to your questions. We've very satisfied with that.

Usually, whenever I faced an issue in the past, it would take one to two working days maximum to get assistance. If it was on Azure and you've had a problem on Azure with the server, then it's going to take as much as one day, as it's going to be distributed to the team that is responsible for the region that you are opening the ticket from.

The product is so easy to set up. The only thing you do usually with Microsoft Visual Studio is to go to the internet and download the installer for it. Then it will download the required files and everything from the internet for you, and you go through the installation like any normal program.

The length of time it takes to deploy depends on the features. Visual Studio comes with so many features. It depends on if you are going to choose only Windows development or Windows and mobile development and so on. However, it really depends on the features that you are going to require.

It also depends on the internet speed, as each feature requires extra downloads from the internet. 

Usually, I deploy it for my team. I started a company also that provides services for IT companies. What we do is, if they want a development environment and they don't have anyone, then we install it.

The licensing is per user. 

There is also the Community Edition which users can access as a start for a small application. It's for open-source applications. That's where they build out the support for the open-source community.

There are also Professional or Enterprise options. Which would be the best option depends on the capacity and the requirements of the company that is going to use it. The licensing is affordable for companies, not for individuals. It's not for personal usage.

We provide Microsoft products to customers.

We are using the 2019 version. I know that they have been planning or they already did create a new version of it, however, the last one was 2019.

I would rate the solution at a nine ot of ten. There is always room for improvement, however, we've been quite happy with it so far.
