26 Microsoft Visual Studio Testimonials

"We can be a lot more consistent with our DevOps pipeline than we can if we're doing manual deployments. And that consistency breeds improved performance, better code quality, and reduces the time for production deployments."

"Visual Studio provides a familiar environment and the agile development processes that are so common in business today."

"The development team can now use Application Insights to react before problems are detected in production, which can affect Iberia Express’s sales and customer satisfaction and has a positive impact on total cost of ownership. Plus, our new system automates the entire lifecycle of an application so we can implement continuous deployment."

"We’ve certainly improved work-item tracking by using Visual Studio Team Services. It allows for better visibility into the creation of tasks, the processes for closing them down, and burndown rates.… We can also customize its new process templates—and still ensure smooth software upgrade processes."

"Although our new development is in .NET, we still have legacy, lower-level code in C, C++, and other languages, which Visual Studio Team Services can handle, just as it can manage open source languages and tools."

"Visual Studio Team Services is a game-changer for Itron. With three-week releases, we can now respond to customer issues and needs so much faster, while also outpacing our competition in capitalizing on new market opportunities."

"Nobody had to sell us on VSTS. The benefits… are obvious for our 24/7 operation… We don’t have to spend a lot of time troubleshooting anymore… We have cut the time to resolve bugs in half."

"By using Visual Studio Team Services, we can access Microsoft’s expertise directly. This is an extremely significant benefit, because we could not have established the DevOps pipeline to this extent all on our own."

"The more difficult the problem to be solved by IT, the more effective the DevOps approach is. Even if we do not know at the initial stage what a final solution strategy will look like, the ongoing accumulation of knowledge upon knowledge must lead to the optimum solution strategy."

"The truth is, up to that point, I was not familiar with Azure, and I had no idea that Microsoft was this committed to OSS. When we met with Microsoft’s DevOps evangelist, our old impressions were completely transformed."

"We turned a very manual, error-prone development process into a highly streamlined process that operates with a few button clicks—and one-button deployment."

"Using Azure with Visual Studio stimulates innovation. It helps developers discover things that they otherwise wouldn’t if they had to spend time setting up physical infrastructure."

"It’s really hard to beat Azure on cost, and it has the scale and capabilities we need, You see what’s possible now, and every time we check there is a new feature, and then we think of another possibility."

"Users now expect their government to provide services quickly. It’s no longer the domain of private industry, app stores or commercial and retail offerings. It’s now expected that the government provides those services as well, and does it quickly."

"Visual Studio Team Services allows us to be more nimble and share projects more easily among our staff worldwide; and it integrates well with our Git repositories."
