Provides for the setup of software development teams in a sandbox environment. I would like to see external backup for project source code files to the cloud.

What is most valuable?

  • Version control
  • Central repository for all project sources
  • Smooth and easy integration with Visual Studio and multi-developer supporting/tracking features
  • Provides for an inexpensive and quick setup for small software development teams in a sandbox environment, such as virtual machines

How has it helped my organization?

Visual SourceSafe 2005 allows for more than one developer to check-out the same source code file and contribute to it. This is just like with Git and with other distributed Source Control Systems.
