Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

It is used for internal applications created by the IT department. Usually, it completes the missing functionalities that other softwares that we use internally don't supply as a function.
  • Easy to use.
  • Many add-ons.
  • Platform integrated with the Cloud.
  • Too heavy to install.
  • Not created for database management.
  • Components are hard to install and always changing.
  • Very expensive if you have no specific contract with Microsoft.
  • Very easy to teach and spread knowledge, so it is not necessary to really invest in Education.
  • It contains many features that do not require external tools, saving investment in other software.
Visual Studio is simpler and very easy to use. It has more features integrated and also contains more platforms to develop (Android, Windows, Web, Data Science, C#, .NET, etc). It has two versions: one is the community version, that is free, and a professional version for people that need more features.
It is best for all situations, for end-user products, or for internal applications in a company. Very easy to integrate into other platforms, and it is very quick to deploy solutions to be used. They have great support from Microsoft, and also by the community on the internet. Usually, it is good for creating a platform or even an add-on to applications.
