Great interface and the ability to use snippets and create forms is awesome. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sean F. | Infrastructure Architect, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2021 **What do you like best about PowerShell Studio?** SAIPEN have created a well-rounded editor that allows us to edit PowerShell code and easily use snippets for reusable code. The module management also ensures we're using the latest modules. But the thing that shines above the other editors is the form design and deployment to EXE that helps us out. **What do you dislike about PowerShell Studio?** Not much to dislike about the product as it does what we need. The only thing that could be better is the licensing, but even that is easy enough to get used to. **Recommendations to others considering PowerShell Studio:** The product comes with a trial for 45 days, so you can give it a go and check everything out ahead of purchasing. When in trial mode, there are some restrictions when using forms as you can only use so many objects on the form, and if you compile it, then it has a watermark. Otherwise, when using it for coding, you have no restrictions at all. We also identified that a single license can be used on two computers for the same user, which is great as we have a desktop and laptop, so I can have it on both. **What problems is PowerShell Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using PowerShell Studio to write all of our PowerShell code and share snippets to make the reuse of code easier. We've also been able to create some excellent forms using it as well, which is just so easy when compared to doing it manually with code, they just take all the effort out of the process. ### 7.
