26 Microsoft Visual Studio Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"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."

"With Team Services, we can take changes much closer to deployment and still run them through a full series of regression tests and get them into the main deployment build. Team Services enables us to be much more agile in responding to the business."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Visual Studio Team Services has helped us embed a number of agile practices in our development methodology. And because we can deploy our solution in Azure, we now have an effective and efficient way to set up a continuous integration and delivery pipeline."

"Service Fabric was exactly what we needed, It was a way of creating local durable state across a set of machines, without actually having to take multiple machine hops to move it to external storage."

"We can bring new products to market more quickly now that we use Visual Studio Team Services. Our adoption has been key in bringing the pace of our software development up to the speed of business."

"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."

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