Secure Code by Suggestion!
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Visual Studio IntelliCode from other similar products?
In our company, engineers ship booking features fast to meet seasonal demand. I used IntelliCode insights during a secure coding uplift project run with Microsoft FastTrack. It helped highlight risky deserialization patterns in our .NET services without stopping developer flow.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The feature I rely on most is context aware code recommendations based on large scale training data. I saw it consistently suggest safer API usage when developers handled token validation and input parsing. It also surfaced test suggestions that aligned with our internal threat models.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What could improve is deeper security specific explanation. IntelliCode tells you what to write but not always why it matters from a threat perspective. Junior developers sometimes accept suggestions blindly.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend IntelliCode for teams that want to scale secure coding habits organically. It works best when paired with code scanning and peer reviews. It is not a replacement for security testing. It is a force multiplier for teams under delivery pressure.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
