Anyone work with Visual Studio that can help me decide what year and version to get. I have a few people that will need it, 1 person to do web programming, the others to do SSIS packages and such. We are thinking of going VS 2015 Pro version? And I thought if you bought 1 copy to do the Web programming, others could load it also to use the other features? Or do I need to buy an individual copy for all 3 people?

Visual Studio Community. All of the features you need and free if you have 5 or less developers.

I thought the community version lacked some debugging tools and such.

Might be a personal preference but the developers I work with prefer 2010 for SSIS.

IntelliTrace and analyzing memory dumps in Visual Studio are lacking from Community.

Although if you are looking for any inclusions like TFS or SQL Server Development then you should probably look at a different version.

If you want all 3 to use the Pro features then you would need a Pro license per user....unless you have some other type of enterprise agreement with MS.

I'd guess it has something to do with the version of SQL Server that they are ultimately targeting.

Well they aren't in professional either, he'd have to step up to Enterprise for that.

I've been happy using 2012 Pro, but likely will be upgrading to 2015 Pro in the next few months.

SSIS won't matter as much. They will need the business tools add in for whatever version they are using. I've used it with every version other than 2015 without any issues.

If you're using Oracle back end stay away from 2015, the dev tools aren't out yet.
