We performed a comparison between ASP.NET and Microsoft Visual Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two .NET Development Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This framework is very easy to use and tweak for our business needs."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"One of the most valuable features in ASP.NET is thread management with asynchronous processing. I've been implementing this for a few years and it has proven to be extremely helpful, especially when using a tool that wouldn't have worked without it. It's definitely a fundamental aspect of the platform."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"The developer support for ASP.NET is a big positive. It's actually very good, and since there are so many people who use ASP.NET, it's easy to get responses to questions about ASP.NET in the broader community."
"We use ASP.NET to develop web applications and web API. I'm working at a government financial institution in Mexico that helps citizens buy a house"
"The most valuable features are ease of use, scalability, and flexibility."
"Visual Studio's best feature is debugging, which isn't available with any other Microsoft development tool."
"I like the IDE or the integrated development environment. It's the best IDE."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the UI functionality where you can do software development. Everything is available there that you need. You can create the UI, and code, develop and compile it."
"The code analysis tool is particularly valuable as it eliminates the need for manual code reviews."
"The solution includes a debug function that I can breakpoint to easily detect what is wrong with my applications."
"My company works with outsourced programmers. The solution helps us to test, integrate and foresee the code quality. We can trace the development stages."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Microsoft Visual Studio is stable and the performance was good. However, if you do not have decent hardware you will not have the same experience."
"In my opinion, this solution should improve their web toolkit."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"The solution is out of date and should not be used."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"In addition to the visual aspect, there is a need for ASP.NET to provide a robust visual front end like there was in the past."
"It would be beneficial if Microsoft provided more support for certain technologies, such as Blazor, in the form of basic components. As it stands, some reliance on third-party tools may be necessary. Having more support from Microsoft for these technologies would make it easier for users to build and maintain applications. For example, the grids, date pickers, and dropdown lists would be components to add."
"The caching could improve in ASP.NET. I don't often run into limitations with ASP.NET. More often, it's the other tools we use that slow us down."
"It has a ton of options and that sometimes can become very, very overwhelming for a new person, a new developer."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The interface could be more user friendly"
"Microsoft Visual Studio can improve by bringing back designers. They used to have designers for architecture charts and diagrams. They were able to do things, such as database design. If they can bring them back, it would be great."
"There is room for improvement in the price of the solution overall."
"The interface is slow to start up."
"Visual Studio Team System needs to improve documentation."
"It would be great if they added some extra support for other languages that are available in the market and prepared it for the, let's say, crypto developers as we are going in the age of cryptocurrency."
