Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

We use the solution to develop in-house products.

The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with various platforms.

There could be more coding languages in the solution.

I have been working with the solution for two years.

It is a stable solution. I rate its stability nine out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. Presently, five people use it in our organization.

The solution's initial setup is easy. We require a team of 15 executives, one director, five to six managers, engineers, and technical staff for its maintenance.

The system administrators help us implement the solution.

We are using the solution's free version.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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. 

We use Microsoft Visual Studio for various builds such as building our .NET applications, and in some cases, we use it for design, and for building specifications.

What we like about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's a comprehensive tool. It has features that work for different plans and it has a wide variety of use cases. It's also a powerful tool and it's quite efficient.

There's always room for improvement in any product, and in Microsoft Visual Studio, it can be spread into other areas of development and design. It's pretty much Microsoft-oriented at the moment. It can be spread into other open source or open source-based developments. That's why I gave it a rating of eight. There's always room for improvement, for example, the UI could be better, and development could be easier on Microsoft Visual Studio if there were more features like drag and drop and more frameworks, etc.

We've been using Microsoft Visual Studio for the past three years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a stable tool. It has improved in terms of stability.

In terms of scalability, I don't know if scalability applies to Microsoft Visual Studio, to be honest.

We never required technical support from Microsoft Visual Studio because it's a straightforward tool. Online help is great, for example, the community support and forums are all good and widely used.

Microsoft Visual Studio has improved a lot over the years, and setting it up is quite straightforward now.

How fast the tool is deployed depends on project to project, but usually deployment is quite efficient and fast. We usually take on average fifteen days to build a feature and deploy it in DevOps.

We both have an in-house team and partners that take care of the implementation of Microsoft Visual Studio.

I've seen ROI from Microsoft Visual Studio.

The development license for Microsoft Visual Studio is free. I don't know if there's a licensing cost to it.

We evaluated Eclipse and also used other tools, but Microsoft Visual Studio is good.

My company has been using Microsoft Visual Studio for development purposes, particularly Microsoft Visual Studio for .NET development.

I would highly recommend Microsoft Visual Studio to others looking into implementing it. I would also advise that it has some learning curve to use, in particular, people need the technical skill to use the tool properly.

My rating for Microsoft Visual Studio is eight 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.
