My main use case for Microsoft Visual Studio is writing code, specifically infrastructure as code to build resources in cloud platforms such as AWS EC2 instances, Google IAM resources, and networks within Azure.

A specific example of a project where I used Microsoft Visual Studio for infrastructure as code is creating Google Cloud projects. The project can be defined using Terraform, and I can write those scripts within Microsoft Visual Studio and execute them from there as well, using the built-in terminal.

I have also briefly used Microsoft Visual Studio for connecting to databases because there is an add-on for PostgreSQL, which allows me to see my code in one section and then connect to a database using my code in another section. That functionality is quite useful.

Microsoft Visual Studio impacts my organization positively because it is used across the organization to write, commit code, and execute code. It works as an environment for many engineers. The fact that everyone is on the same platform is very useful because it is very easy to teach colleagues how to use it.

Some of the best features Microsoft Visual Studio offers include a user-friendly UI element where you can download different themes, which is great because it allows you to read the code much clearer. There are many add-ons within Microsoft Visual Studio because I believe it is probably the most popular IDE out there, which leads to many useful add-ons. Additionally, I appreciate the fact that the terminal is built in, so you can execute your code in the same window rather than having to open a separate terminal and execute from that.

The built-in terminal is what I find myself relying on the most day-to-day because I use that every time I use Microsoft Visual Studio. It allows me to commit my code very quickly and also run shell scripts via the terminal that I might be editing as well. I use it heavily; I know some people do not use it as much and prefer a separate terminal, but I find that I am able to work much quicker and more efficiently using the built-in terminal.

The feature that makes Microsoft Visual Studio really stand out compared to other IDEs is the number of add-ons that it has, because with it being probably the most popular IDE, it has a lot of support. There really is not any other IDE you would want to use rather than Microsoft Visual Studio. The fact that it is free as well is pretty impressive.

I think Microsoft Visual Studio is a very good tool and I do not have many improvements to suggest. The only thing I can think of is that I quite regularly get notifications that interrupt my workflow, telling me that Microsoft Visual Studio could be updated. I would appreciate a feature where it can auto-update during times when I am not working so that it can update in the background because sometimes I am writing a script mid-concentration, or maybe I am using the built-in terminal and I am about to execute a command, and then a pop-up appears, derailing my train of thought.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for around five years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

Microsoft Visual Studio is highly scalable; you can have thousands of engineers using it at the same time and because it is deployed locally on their machine, there would not be any scalability issues. The scalability is immense.

I have never had to reach out for customer support, but because it falls under Microsoft, I presume organizations with a Microsoft support agreement would be able to reach out. I have interacted with Microsoft support in the past when using Azure, and they have always been very helpful, so I would imagine the support would be great.

I have only ever used Microsoft Visual Studio in terms of IDEs in an enterprise environment. The only other IDE I have used is Replit, but that is for my own development. It is a very lightweight, web-based IDE, but there is no need to use a different IDE rather than Microsoft Visual Studio. It has everything you would want in an editor, which is why it is so prevalent in the industry.

From a cost savings perspective, I have definitely noticed improvements because there are some IDEs where you have to pay for a subscription to use it. I understand that the cost can really accumulate, especially if you have a huge engineering team using it. Whereas Microsoft Visual Studio, being free, completely eliminates the costs associated with using a different IDE. Teams can very easily see cost savings of 100 percent because you are going from something which did cost before to something which is free.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing for Microsoft Visual Studio is that the pricing is free, which is perfect.

Before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, I did not evaluate other options because it was always the option due to it being free and because it is the market leader.

I would advise others looking into using Microsoft Visual Studio to use it because it is free, it is the market leader, and it has a ton of add-ons. There is really no reason not to use it. I gave this product a rating of ten out of ten.

My main use case for Microsoft Visual Studio is coding and looking at the logs. Whenever I have a log file which is very large, I open it in Microsoft Visual Studio because it can handle big files and then make it easy to search and scroll.

The best features Microsoft Visual Studio offers include being smooth in coding, allowing the opening of large projects and large files. Microsoft Visual Studio is smooth because it can handle large projects and open large files without hanging, and it still allows large search functionality.

Microsoft Visual Studio is one of the main tools that has impacted my organization positively. We can create custom plugins in Microsoft Visual Studio which are specific to our company and our organization, and use them, which is quite useful, and this has helped our team and projects.

Allowing coding for more formats in Microsoft Visual Studio could be an improvement. It should allow more formats when it comes to APLR coding and what I would like to see improved or added in this area.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about five years.

I think Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

Millions of users use Microsoft Visual Studio worldwide, so I think it is quite stable in terms of scalability.

I haven't interacted with customer support at all.

We have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for some time, and I did not previously use a different solution.

The IT team handles the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Microsoft Visual Studio, so I have no idea about that.

The IT team handles the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Microsoft Visual Studio, so I have no idea about that.

I don't have insights into a return on investment, including relevant metrics, like time saved or fewer employees needed.

The IT team handles the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Microsoft Visual Studio, so I have no idea about that.

I don't think I evaluated other options before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, as I was not part of the team which does that. I have no visibility into that.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Microsoft Visual Studio a nine overall. I give it a nine because it does not support Android. The one thing that would make it a ten for me is related to the formats I mentioned. I think others looking into using Microsoft Visual Studio should use it, as it is a good tool. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

My main use case for Microsoft Visual Studio is as an IDE and code editor for my personal, academic, and professional projects.

For a class project recently, I used Microsoft Visual Studio to pull down the repo, make changes, review the code, and get data as needed, which was a memorable project for me. They also have really nice plugins that integrate very well with the work I'm doing.

The best features Microsoft Visual Studio offers include the shortcut commands that are pretty efficient and easy to pick up, and the baked-in plugins that they have, which are pretty nice.

I find the Copilot feature to be a very nice plugin, and for any plugins, I need any language support, like Java, Go, Gradle, and Maven. Really, any coding language or tool that I need has a plugin, which is very nice.

Microsoft Visual Studio has positively impacted my organization because it's very easy to use, very easy for the people to pick up on, and we can all have the same configuration or personalize it as needed. It has improved productivity for sure, and when someone is onboarded, we know exactly what settings to get them and what plugins to recommend, which makes it easier for them to use the tool in the future.

I don't have any suggestions for improvements for Microsoft Visual Studio; I like the general look. Figuring out how to hide the plugins on the side would be useful, and just having more clear documentation, perhaps, could help.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about six years, and four years, actually.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good.

I'm not sure about the customer support for Microsoft Visual Studio.

I have used other IDEs before, and I use Microsoft Visual Studio for my personal projects because it's free and it's pretty easy to use, and then for work, I use whatever IDE is best suited for the team.

I don't see a return on investment with Microsoft Visual Studio.

My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Microsoft Visual Studio is that I was able to expense it through my company, so it wasn't bad, and it was pretty easy to get a license for it. I'm also pretty sure it's free; I'm not sure.

Before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, I did not evaluate other options.

Microsoft Visual Studio deserves a nine on a scale of one to ten.

I choose a nine for Microsoft Visual Studio because I like the way it works, but some of the UI in other IDEs like IntelliJ I prefer a little more.

My advice for others looking into using Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's a great tool to start with if you're new to IDEs, and I would say to just jump right in.

My main use case for Microsoft Visual Studio is writing file processing code and backend APIs.

A specific example of the kind of file processing or API work I do with Microsoft Visual Studio is processing files from the client about their card transactions.

There are no other types of projects or tasks that Microsoft Visual Studio helps me with.

The best features Microsoft Visual Studio offers are the debugging and IntelliSense, which stand out to me the most.

The debugging and IntelliSense features in Microsoft Visual Studio help me in my work because the debugging lets us step through code when we're having issues and the IntelliSense helps us with basic syntax errors.

Microsoft Visual Studio has positively impacted my organization because with Live Share, we were able to collaborate on code projects.

Live Share helped our team collaborate by saving time, improving code quality, and assisting with remote work, as we were able to quickly resolve issues or build features.

I wish Microsoft Visual Studio was available on the Mac for improvement.

I just wish it worked on the Mac.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about eight years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is fine; we just install it locally.

I have not needed to contact the customer support team for Microsoft Visual Studio.

I previously used VS Code and other IDEs before Microsoft Visual Studio, and I switched because Visual Studio just had more fleshed out features.

I wasn't involved in the pricing, setup cost, and licensing, but I'm pretty sure it was free to install.

I have seen a return on investment because Microsoft Visual Studio has saved my team time.

Before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, I evaluated VS Code and other IDEs.

I would not add anything else about the features of Microsoft Visual Studio.

I would rate Microsoft Visual Studio a seven out of ten.

I rate it a seven because you can't use it on all platforms.

My advice to others looking into using Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's free, so try it.

I use Microsoft Visual Studio for developing .NET applications. I developed the backend of web applications, microservices, and APIs deployed on Kubernetes using Microsoft Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio is an IDE that supports developers during development, which I find very valuable and helpful. Microsoft Visual Studio simplifies developer work, and for example, code autocompletion speeds up development. The integrated test and debug functionalities help developers accomplish their tasks more effectively.

Microsoft Visual Studio can be improved by integrating an agent that can support developers in the development process. I did not give Microsoft Visual Studio a 10 because I believe it can still be improved, even though it is a very good IDE.

I have used Microsoft Visual Studio for several years and continue to use it currently.

If you are looking for a very complete IDE for developers that can support their job with a lot of functionalities and plugins, choose Microsoft Visual Studio. I rate this product highly based on its comprehensive features and reliability.

Microsoft Visual Studio is used for development. Recently, after moving into a management role, I open the projects and conduct the code review process. Different use cases have emerged over the years.

The recent project was specifically for Python development. I used Python to write a fire translator that uses Python code. This is for a specific API like the gateway, a translator that translates the information coming into the system, which is JSON, and converts that into fire and sends it back.

I have used Microsoft Visual Studio for PHP, C#, C++, and many different languages over the years. Recently, it has been used for AWS services to develop the functions.

I appreciate the debugging capability of Microsoft Visual Studio the most.

The tracing of the debugging is what I value. I can use any editor to write the code, but Microsoft Visual Studio has strong capability.

Microsoft Visual Studio has good integration with the plugins I want to use, the different types of plugins available for different languages and even JSON.

Microsoft Visual Studio has improved significantly. Before, people used to use Notepad and other basic editors. Using the studio gave them the capability to properly debug and find issues. Additionally, it provides good code organization and indentation, as well as color coding for comments. It is very useful, as it gives function descriptions and class descriptions. It is very easy for someone who is not writing the code to understand it when they look at it, as it is very descriptive with proper commenting.

I cannot give exact statistics on time saved, but I can provide statistics on quality improvement. The coding standard has been enforced. It has tremendously improved with Microsoft Visual Studio. I would say anywhere between 20 to 50% improvement, depending on which team we are discussing.

I wish Microsoft Visual Studio was not bulkier. With certain .NET frameworks, it is used and it is somewhat bulky. That is the only thing that I can identify. Probably sometimes the load time is more significant compared to other lightweight editors.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for about close to 15 plus years now for different aspects of it.

There are occasional crashes and stack overflow issues with Microsoft Visual Studio, but other than that, in most cases it works.

Microsoft Visual Studio handles growing projects or teams well for my organization.

People have used different editors like Notepad and text editors before Microsoft Visual Studio. To ensure that everybody is on the right track, we decided to go with Microsoft Visual Studio and also the capability that it provides.

We have used different editors like Eclipse and other options before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio.

From the development point of view, I have seen a return on investment with Microsoft Visual Studio, but not from the organization point of view. In the sense, if the quality has improved, then definitely the productivity has improved. In that way, I can see a return, but not otherwise.

Microsoft Visual Studio's editor is doing a good job from a UI perspective.

It is convenient to use Microsoft Visual Studio. The UI is great. It helps to develop and to properly indent code.

I am not directly involved in the pricing of Microsoft Visual Studio because that is a separate organization that takes care of it, so I cannot answer that question.

I would recommend going ahead with Microsoft Visual Studio. It is a great product. I give this review a rating of 8.

My main use case for Microsoft Visual Studio is prototyping different products, different features, and functionality. For example, I have used Microsoft Visual Studio for prototyping by creating a database layer to some app builder. I do not work on other types of projects or features with it.

The best features Microsoft Visual Studio offers are its relatively easy usability and pretty good debugging features.

When I mention the debugging features, a particular function within Microsoft Visual Studio's debugger that stands out to me is how you can attach to running processes, stop the code, and see what's happening, including the status of variables and other information.

Microsoft Visual Studio has positively impacted my organization by providing a standardized interface, making it easy to collaborate across teams. It's easy to help other people out or get help because everybody knows it. Having that standardization has indeed led to measurable improvements; it makes onboarding fast because it's somewhat of a standard that everybody knows. So it's easy for everybody to get into it and start working.

I think Microsoft Visual Studio can be improved because sometimes the setup can be a little bit complicated and it seems sometimes a little bit bloated, with a large download for what it is. There is nothing about performance, usability, or updates that needs to be discussed.

I have been using Microsoft Visual Studio for over ten plus years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is stable.

From my perspective, I cannot really answer about Microsoft Visual Studio's scalability because I only run one instance, but it seems to be scaling fine if the entire company is using it.

I have never used customer support for Microsoft Visual Studio; I always just go online and search if I have any questions.

I did not previously use a different solution before Microsoft Visual Studio; we kind of always used that.

From my side, Microsoft Visual Studio certainly saves time because I know it, so it's easier for me to use; from a company perspective, I cannot really know the metrics.

I do not really handle pricing, setup cost, and licensing because that is managed through the corporate; I'm not dealing with this. For private use, the free version worked pretty well when I used it, although it was missing some vital features.

Before choosing Microsoft Visual Studio, we did not evaluate other options; we always use Microsoft Visual Studio.

My advice to others looking into using Microsoft Visual Studio is to know that there's a lot of information about it out on the internet, so if you run into any issues, you can easily look it up. I gave this review a rating of eight out of ten.

Microsoft Visual Studio is used for development, including recent work with AI applications across many different areas of the organization.

The language is easy to use for linking with other databases and software. As a Microsoft product, it provides native integration, making it straightforward to communicate with Azure or any database within Azure through built-in integration capabilities.

The version control feature helped us easily retrieve previous versions and track logs to see where changes occurred and when they happened.

The ability to use multiple coding languages in one place is valuable, providing a comprehensive environment for everything.

AI integration is something that every company is trying to incorporate. While Microsoft Visual Studio is working very well currently, there is still room to improve the AI functionality.

More than 10 years.

Microsoft Visual Studio is very stable.

Scalability rates about seven out of ten.

Microsoft sometimes has outsourced people with less knowledge on their support team. When we open a ticket, it often needs to be escalated to the next level to reach an expert, rather than being resolved at the first level. This sometimes wastes our time, but eventually they fix the issue for us.

The installation process is very easy and straightforward.

Microsoft Visual Studio provides a positive return on investment.

The setup cost rates about eight out of ten.

Different divisions in the organization may use AWS, though this is not something I am aware of directly. The organization primarily bases its operations on Azure. My overall rating for Microsoft Visual Studio is ten out of ten.
