It is a great tool for tags and custom plugins. It gives far better functionality than other softwares. Easy code implementation. The best part is it's support with visual studio.

I have been using Visual Assist for a few years now for my c++ projects. It takes the frustration out of navigation and makes refactoring code effortless. It's an easy purchase each year to extend my license. A+

The inconsistency in code navigation functionalty is among the key disadvantages. I come across a lot of impediment in locating necessary piece of code base which usually results in wastage of time and low performance.
