El desarrollo de software es vital para los proyectos de una empresa ya que nos permite automatizar procesos para darle al usuario facilidad al momento de ejectuar ideas y tareas, con Visual Foxpro podemos desarrollar aplicaciones todo orientado a objetos el mismo posee su propio manejador de base de datos en el cual podemos crear tablas, relacionarlas y ejecutar sentencias para poder extraer datos deseados. Adicional a esto el software tiene un conjunto de herramientas varias para poder ir creando nuestros formularios con un entorno de windows totalmente editable y con un alto grado de personalizacion en los cuales podemos ingresar botones, cuadros de textos, etiquetas y a su vez se puede crear el codigo fuente para programar las funciones que sean necesarias.

El programa fue quedando obsoleto luego de la adquisicion y cambios de licencias este quedo sin actualizaciones porque lo que el desarrollo ya quedo atras en compracion con otros aplicativos, su base de datos es algo sensible a los cambios con el tiempo y a medida que las tablas de la base de datos se hacen mas grandes el peso se sigue incrementando volviendo lenta los resultados de las consultas realizadas.

FoxPro es una aplicacion para programar, bastante completa incluso con su propio manejador de bases de datos integrada ideal para proyectos medianos a nivel de empresas pequeñas, la programacion esta orientada a objetos y procedimientos donde se pueden crear formularios y realizar la programacion necesaria para que realice la tareja asignada por el programador, el programa llego a tener gran potencial ya que como cuenta con su propia base de datos hace mas sencillo el poder enlazar las aplicaciones con la data directamente. El software posee distintos tipos de herramientas tenemos una ventana de comandos dondo podemos ejecutar sentencias de consulta a la base de datos, tenemos la ventana de proyecto donde podemos editar y crear proyectos nuevos, la data session es donde podemos consultar las tablas de las bases de datos, entre muchas opciones mas.

What do you dislike?
El programa es ideal para proyectos pequeños ya que con el paso del tiempo el peso de las tablas puede resultar un poco problematico se vuele inestable e incluso se puede a llegar a perder data. La base de datos es un poco delicada ya que si varios usuarios consultan la misma informacion puede causar retraso en las consultas. El lenguaje es un poco antiguo pero todavia vigente para algunas empresas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Estamos ante un lenguaje de programacion orientado a objetos y al mismo tiempo posee una base de datos propia, esto nos permite crear proyectos a gran escala para pequeñas y grandes empresas, podemos crear formularios, reportes con un alto grado de personalizacion y detalle. El manejador de base de datos es sencilla pero lo suficientemente completa para poder almacenar toda la data que sera utilizada como consulta en la aplicacion que estemos desarrollando. El sistema de depuracion de errores es bastante completo permite revisar paso a paso como se esta ejecutando nuestro aplicactivo antes de la compilacion final.

What do you dislike?
Microsoft dejo de brindarle soporte directo a la aplicacion esto lo convierte en un lenguaje obsoleto, pero en muchas empresas todavia se manejan ciertas aplicaciones que han sido escritas en el, la interfaz grafica de la aplicacion es bastante sencilla, la base de datos es algo inestable si la misma se vuelve pesada por la cantidad de registros es posible que algunos datos se dañen y se tenga que reindexar la tabla y aplicar ciertos mantenimientos correctivos.

What do you like best?
I like the easiest way the VFP provides to deal with the DBF tables using VFP code, also I like that it works easily with SQL tables using SQLEXEC function, also its IDE is very productive while programming and debugging as it provides some helpful tools to debug like Watch, local memory, Call stack, etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
The big problem with VFP, is its DBF table's limitation as it became corrupted after it reaches more that 2GB, also sometimes when its memo field being corrupted, you won't be able to use the table until you release this corruption, also sometimes some crashes happened for no reasons, and last and not least it is not supported officially by Microsoft.

I like the easy way to access and manage DBF data, I really like the smart tools provided to trace a problem as it allows me to catch the programming command with problem in a very few steps and it allows me to check the call stack in any part of execution, also it provides a great code behind feature, it allows me to either enter all the code in the screen's methods or to just call a function from a separate program, it allows me to create our custom controls and forms and use it in all our programming work as a framework Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
I don't like the DBF size limitation and its UI needs to be enhanced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software is very functional, however the user interface is not so friendly. I think it could be more modern and optimize its appearance in order to make it more pleasant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software seems to have a lot of programs available within it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
Sometimes the system is slow to pull up information and multiple records at 1 time. I believe there is a lot of programming behind the scenes by our IT personal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the environment of MS FoxPro as it is easy to understand and user-friendly to programmers like me. I can customized my program efficiently. The tools and features are so easy to use and having a manual to guide you to use all the elements are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
Nothing much as I believe I need a guiding materials for other tool and features that I don't know how to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?
Microsoft Visual FoxPro is a programming language with it's own IDE and database - it's kind of combination between Access and VB.NET+SQL Server. I like that the database has no overall size limit not like MS access. Also, I like that with VFP can build COM Server DLLs, including multithreaded DLLs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike?
The biggest problem of VFP is secruity because databases can be encrypted using third party and access rights or roles on the data have to be implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
