We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server and Microsoft .NET Framework based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is scalable."
"Most of the features I liked were related to the performance during peak hours."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"The best thing about Apache is that it is open-source, so implementing my platform on-premises is less expansive than other solutions."
"The solution is not limited in storage, is customizable and simple to use."
"If we take low code, no code platform such as RPA platforms, you might end up writing 100 lines of code and you might do it in a single line of code using. NET."
"Microsoft Platform is the only viable solution when I wish to do something that is not supposed to be cross-platform."
"The web development and Microsoft Windows service development capabilities are among the most valuable features offered by the Microsoft .NET Framework. This language platform is highly user-friendly, with plenty of online examples and information available, as well as a robust development environment."
"It facilitated the streamlined scheduling process by amalgamating inputs from various sources, including location data and other systems."
"In my opinion, the best thing about Microsoft .NET is the fully featured framework. It provides most of the things which a normal developer requires of any application out of the box."
"Pre-programmed functions for .NET Framework are widely available."
"The solution is easy to use if the user is a developer or some technical person."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"For NGINX, I think it has NGINX Management Suite, which is GUI-based and allows you to manage your configuration via the user interface, but Apache fails to offer such capabilities to users."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"There is a security-related problem that depends on the web server's configuration."
"Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch."
"The major issue occurs with ports. So, I would like to see easier port management."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"Improvements are needed in .NET development, particularly in a backend scenario."
"The integration could improve in Microsoft .NET Framework."
"The integration capability of the product with AI is an area with certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"Microsoft has its own product called Blazor, but I don't think it's quite as powerful yet as React or Angular. That's an area for improvement."
"The .NET open source community could be larger."
"In the realm of Microsoft .NET Framework, particularly in the C# language, there have been significant developments that I find highly commendable. I am genuinely fascinated by the continuous evolution of the language, and staying abreast of the latest features in Azure is both challenging and enjoyable. Working with C# in Azure is particularly fantastic. I appreciate in .NET, as compared to Java, is the enforcement of types, providing a better experience in terms of technicalities. Additionally, the introduction of Roslyn in the past few years has brought about the concept of late .NET, which I find interesting and powerful. This allows for the transformation of symbolic code just before execution, eliminating the runtime decision-making process and enhancing efficiency. However, late .NET does come with a drawback – a delay in the last-minute computation when starting an executable. While some may find this less appealing in terms of instant responsiveness, especially in serverless cloud environments, the efficiency gained from executing strictly binary code is valuable. Despite potential drawbacks like the time required for activation, I view .NET favorably for its technical advancements and efficiency, especially in scenarios such as serverless cloud computing. It's essential to recognize the intricacies of how .NET processes code and the efficiency it brings, which some may overlook."
"This solution is best used with some training."
"The initial setup is complex."
