Visual Studio Team System Reviews

We can use the tool to perform limited tasks in developing information systems.

The product is efficient. It is an accepted tool globally.

I used this solution for software development, writing and debugging code.

What I like most is that it is a very comprehensive product.

IntelliSense and CodeLens are helpful because they help you (auto)complete your code, can show you details about methods, such as how many times it is called from other places within the code and where.

Debugging functionalities are useful too.

I also like the structure of how it creates solutions and programs. 

Visual Studio is quite fast and responsive compared to some other programs that I have used.

We use Visual Studio Team System as part of our development environment. This is the core system to manage our code and our development life cycle.

Prior to implementing this solution, we had a lot of fear of losing our code due to some kind of situation that was outside of our control. At the same time, our team was distributed between different regional locations both inside and outside of Lebanon. When we started using this tool, it was a great way to have full access to all that was being developed between different areas.

We are an industrial company so we use this program to develop internal products for internal use. We have a complete panel that develops it, and then we test and deploy.

What I like about this solution is that you have Source control that enables you to organize and track the production so that you know where you are in the development phase and so on. You can also make some continuous integration with it, so it is a complete solution with a complete set of features in one box. We don't even use all the features.

Visual Studio Team System is kind of ubiquitous in programming because it's also what a lot of systems use for their source control. It is generally used for source control and deployment, and I have a couple of clients that use it as their ticketing system. In this capacity, it is used for setting up features to be developed in running through their development processes.

This product is easy to use compared to Git, which is the alternative source control system that Microsoft is trying to push these days. Git is very difficult to use properly and it is not as feature-friendly as Team System used to be.

The valuable features are managing campaign boards, sprint planning with product backlog, sprint backlog, and velocity and capacity of the development team. Also, the bar and chart graphics, which assist in tracking the day-to-day project status (most important).

Here in the organization, we use Chrome, with development. Also, when we are planning on sprint, for example, it's too easy to put the requirement needs above the product, and a product on that feels very good to write features too easily, and to share with the development team. Pretty quick and fast, by only writing the duration and assessment criteria and also uploading the make-ups related with the deliverables, the thing we have work with, and it also improves the communication because everybody sees the requirements. It is posted in the inbox and shares brainstorming ideas to 35 people, and how the requirement would be implemented. It's very easy to know the status of the funds of the project because the protocol will be accessible to the tools remotely and easily. He/she will review the bar down chart and know how much work is being done by the team and when the work will be approximately finished.

In the engineering area, we use an engineering process because they realize the campaign board will be very useful for consulting the deliverables of the engineering process because we develop elevators, cabinets, and also casétas used in electrical plants here in Mexico. Comisión Federal de Electricidad is our electricity plant. Our customers customize the products for us and we are introducing new product families. It's important to follow and manage the deliverables in time.

We use the Visual Studio Team System as an IDE for our CRM development. 

Visual Studio Team System is the most powerful IDE available in the market. 

Our organization uses Visual Studio Team System for government digital transformation and automation.

The design, the servers, and the services are the most valuable features of the solution. Overall, it is a good product.
