Likelihood to Recommend	Stratox Enterprises No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Honestly, it's an all around solution that needs some enhancements. Need to build an app, check! Need to test that app, check! Need to debug that app, check! Visual Studio App Center is a well rounded platform for multiple types of builds and services.

Pros	Stratox Enterprises No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products It supplies the right native integration for test cases both IOS and Android Constant device updates means you are working with the right builds to support product use cases Excels in automated test cases that are easy to implement, monitor, and digest results Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Stratox Enterprises No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Webview support was lacking User management seems a bit disconnected from the standard Microsoft ecosystem. Almost feels like you are managing local users and sharing access more than an enterprise solution Price could be better Buggy on some of the latest versions of windows Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Stratox Enterprises No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products The biggest benefit is in integrations and plug-ins, as well as the fact that it's not open source. I know open source is popular, but we have all been on the downside of open source and waiting for things to be voted up or a contribution to fix an issue. This alone makes VSAC a nice solution! Plus, it comes with a complete IDE integration of services, documentation, and is light weight Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Stratox Enterprises No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Cut down on time to delivery enhancements and overall builds to users Helps test new proposed releases with ease Cuts down on local build issues as it does do a good job with local development environments as well Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
