Make Your Coding Life Easier **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Glenn E. | It Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2021 **What do you like best about ReSharper?** Resharper provides an enormous functional extension to MS Visual Studio. Highlights in my use are Code completion, Unit testing, refactoring, formating , extending existing IntelliSense and templates. All this allows you to code at a faster pace with more feedback. **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** It can be very confusing to configure since there are so many options available. The biggest i would say though is performance impact with visual studio since it indexes a whole project. **Recommendations to others considering ReSharper:** It takes a lot of time to learn how leverage all the features of resharper and which one work best for your projects. Microsoft has added a lot of the feature that ReSharper has but Resharpers version is more robust. There really isnt any alternative to ReSharper to the best of my knowledge. **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** ReSharper rounds out Visual Studio with functionality and features. I wouldn't say it solves problems but rather it makes writing code smoother and more productive. I dont remember which ReSharper version I started with but it has gotten better and better. ### 4. A great productivity tool but may add some lag **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Yawar A. | Software Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2021 **What do you like best about ReSharper?** The productivity shortcuts are great. You can refactor code with available shortcuts. There're other features as well like you can check the code coverage of the unit test. Also, the build performed by ReSharper is quick as it only builds projects that've been modified since last build. **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** My machine isn't that powerful. But, it's still an average machine with i5 processor and fast SSD along with quite a good amount of RAM. But, enabling the ReSharper makes my Visual Studio respond slow and I notice some lag at times. **Recommendations to others considering ReSharper:** ReSharper is a great tool to boost up your productivity. But, before you decide to buy the license, check out VS 2022 first. A lot of the features have been provided natively in VS 2022. **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is boosting our development workflow speed. ### 5.

So if pricing could be revised for personal use then it will reach to more people. **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creation application architecture, code optimization,code validation, coding standards. ### 11. ReShaping the way you develop **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrei M. | Software Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2021 **What do you like best about ReSharper?** One of the best things about resharper has to be the code refactoring. Anyone who has ever had to work in Visual Studio with a big project with a lot of dependencies knows that refactoring is anything but easy, but ReSharper changes that. The on the fly code analysis is another thing I used to use quite a bit when I was starting, seeing how it tells you ways of improving your code **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** In big projects the code quality analyzer cand make it so the interface feels slow, autocomplete takes a while to ... well.. autocomplete. Must be the only thing I dislike about ReSharper **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm the sole developer for a medium-large company; I'm basically creating the software used to manage the whole business from scratch. ReSharper makes that a lot easier ### 12.

Shortcuts to practice refactoring are of a great help, and are a great enabler to write clean code. **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** Price: it is not a cheap software. Tutorials: I wish there were more video content built by ReSharper to quickly master it. Some features: moving a non-static field from one class to another is not possible. **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** ReSharper helps refactoring the code to avoir the software from rotting. It helps developers to write high-quality code. ### 14. Resharper, Developer assistant **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2021 **What do you like best about ReSharper?** - Refactoring tools - Code Inspection and suggestion - Unit testing support - Standardize Code styling and formating **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** - Pricy - Its suggestions are not useful always - Big impact on performance as much as sometimes I have to disable it to speed up the development/compile process **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am using Resharper for years, It's really helpful when the companies are going to have the standardized formatted codes, It really helps junior and medium developers with its correction/suggestions to improve their coding skills, Its Refactoring feature helps to improve code readability, maintainability and reduce complexity, ### 15. Interesting Tool. Worth the Cost? **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2021 **What do you like best about ReSharper?** Any tool that makes your code more efficient is a good tool especially if it is truly delivering what is promised. ReSharper can offer insight into code that you may overlook as you develop code especially when you are rewriting logic. For example, as you develop or change your code logic did you set the same value for a variable in both sections of a conditional? Also, some shortcut features/code completion features may make you a more efficient developer. The 30-day trial gives you ample time to evaluate the product. Support on any JetBrains product is usually very good. **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** In my opinion, this really comes down to ReSharper's cost. Is it really worth an annual subscription? How much of a delta does it offer when compared to the standard tools shipped with Visual Studio Professional? Does it pay for itself or not? I may be more inclined to a pricing model that has an initial investment of $299 with and smaller maintenance fees for updates. **Recommendations to others considering ReSharper:** The best way to make an evaluation of the product is to download a trial version. JetBrains offers 30-day trials. This should be a sufficient enough timeframe for you to decide for yourself as to whether it will add to your efficiency. **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** Like most of the JetBrains tools, whether they are built into the IDE of one of their major products or independent add-on, ReSharper helps to flag code that is inefficient or redundant, gives you a better visualization of code structure, and provides you with other features to help if quickly completing, editing or refactoring procedures and functions. ### 16.

Very productive. It allows for code completion, refactoring and a selective build for big solutions. **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** It is too slow. Sometimes it's impossible to work with it due to the slowness. I have an Intel i7 laptop, 16 GB of RAM. SSD drive and sometimes it would simply freeze Visual Studio. **Recommendations to others considering ReSharper:** Make sure you have a proper developer machine. I mean RAM, CPU, SSD. Resharper is indeed awesome, but it can hog resources like a boss. **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** It can really boost productivity and code quality if used wisely. It does provide a lot of value, but you have to be smart and not go all in and refactor everything you see. ### 19. Useful Features, But a Performance Hog **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2020 **What do you like best about ReSharper?** Code completion/anticipation; fast access to related classes; finding any symbol in the codebase/dependency libraries using Ctrl-T; code cleanup/suggestions. I like that it makes complex coding easier by analyzing what you have written and suggesting cleaner, more elegant ways to do the same task. **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** Using Resharper in Visual Studio makes VS much slower. Having more than 2 instances of VS on my computer, with Resharper, makes my computer much slower, and sometimes non-responsive. If you want to use Resharper with VS, I suggest at least a quad-core i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM. **Recommendations to others considering ReSharper:** I suggest you use a computer with at least a quad-core i7 processor, a solid-state drive and 16 GB of RAM. **What problems is ReSharper solving and how is that benefiting you?** Messy/outdated coding practices; locating related classes/libraries; debugging third-party libraries. ### 20.

It makes developer's job quite easy with Code completion, Code generation. Code analysis, Code editing helpers etc. You can jump to any file,.

It is good to inspect the code issues in the solution. **What do you dislike about ReSharper?** The price should be low so that every developer can afford it. The license process is quite complicated if there are lots of users in the organisation specially the organisations having external consultants. . Trial period is only one month. There should be some price discounts/offers for the large organisations. If you keep you visual studio open for longer time, ReSharper hangs or slows down some times and you have to restart your Visual Studio. **Recommendations to others considering ReSharper:** I would recommend to buy it. It is very useful for the developers and it increases the productivity considerably.
