26 Microsoft Visual Studio Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"With our on-premises environment, we could never have done what we did as quickly and as cost-effectively as we did with Microsoft Azure and Visual Studio Team Services. They helped us cut the development cycle by about 50 percent."

"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."

"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 handle millions of transactions, and that gives us a tremendous amount of data from which to mine insights. Azure can help us to make our platform’s service even more valuable to our clients."

"With Microsoft, we are putting clients in control of how they conduct each interaction with us. Who wouldn’t like that!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."
