Hello,

I am somewhat new to Dynamics 365 CRM. I will be taking a Developer course soon. Currently my company uses Visual Studio 2017 Community. I have read some posts talking about which VS editions CRM developers use.

My question is do I need something better than Community. If so, what is the difference or advantages?

Thanks

Hi..

You don't need something better than community. You need Visual Studio to write code for plugin, custom workflow activities, SSRS reports, JavaScript and Html files.

I think you can do all these thing in visual studio community.

Hi j12obrien,

I use Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, but Visual Studio Professional, and Visual Studio Community are also fine for CRM Development. This page gives a basic comparison of Visual Studio 2017 IDEs.

For my experience community edition is enough to do CRM development , however you can check below comparison link among community , professional and enterprise edition.
