Considered Both Products	AMPPS - WAMP & MAMP Stack No answer on this topic	Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (Discontinued) Verified User Anonymous Chose Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (Discontinued) Azure DevOps is a much better, more modern tool that Visual SourceSafe and everyone should be moving to it. Most if not all the integration that is there can be done or emulated in it. Incentivized Helpful? Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Chose Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (Discontinued) We selected Microsoft Visual SourceSafe because at the time none of these other products were out there. Now we are trying to migrate all our legacy code from Visual SourceSafe to Azure DevOps. Unfortunately we don't have a value proposition for some of the older products so … Incentivized Helpful? Cristian Bodnarasec Senior Software Development Manager Chose Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (Discontinued) Git is a much more elaborated tool for file versioning than Visual SourceSafe. It has superior performance and stability, it is cross-platform, distributed, it gives you a better User Interface (if you choose to buy Bitbucket), it allows you to have big projects with big teams, … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	The only time I could recommend Microsoft Visual SourceSafe would be for a beginner who has a small amount of code that they would like to keep track of. This solution would not be recommended for an enterprise or any shop where you have multiple developers working on the same solution. Incentivized Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	avoid losing code versioning of previous projects saving versions on db Incentivized Luca Campanelli Senior Betting & Online DB Administrator Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Becoming corrupt and having to be rebuild from a previous version. It can be extremely slow to check in & out of. Lost support several years ago from Microsoft. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Overall Microsoft Visual Source Safe is very easy to use. It is a simple application that does only one thing. It has the basic windows tree structure for listing projects and solutions. There is no way to search for a particular file, project or solution. There is also no way to search the code in the files. Incentivized Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	There is no longer support for Visual SourceSafe as I believe it's been retired. There are, however, users that still use the tool and they do help if there are questions or complaints. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Azure DevOps is a much better, more modern tool that Visual SourceSafe and everyone should be moving to it. Most if not all the integration that is there can be done or emulated in it Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	When we started using it, it allowed us to do source code versioning and store the code in a centralized location and not locally. We are using it for very few projects with few developers that still maintain those applications and do not have time to merge the source code to Git.
