  ### 4. PRISM helps us achieve more SOLID and stable code with less effort

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2015

**What do you like best about PRISM?**

I've used PRISM in many of the different applications I have setup over the past 5 years. One of the largest reasons I love using it, is the fact that it works really nicely with IoC containers (We use Unity). We can utilize the two technologies, to setup all the different modules without our application with very minimal effort and code. 

Additionally, it makes it really simple to implement navigation (Forward, Back, History etc...) and still maintain loose coupling between each of the View/ViewModels.

**What do you dislike about PRISM?**

I am sure this is something that can I can implement as Extension methods, and would really just be an additional benefit but it would be nice if PRISM would manage the navigation history and the state of the views when navigating away from them (so that they can be preserved when navigating back).


**Recommendations to others considering PRISM:**

Handling Navigation

**What problems is PRISM solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allows us to make our code modular and maintain loose coupling. Decreases the amount of effort to add additional views by utilizing PRISM with our IoC container.
