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."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."
"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 solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"I would say that we have seen a return on investment when it comes to this solution."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is the support of multiple platforms with ASP.NET Core. Additionally, Azure integrates well with ASP.NET and Visual Studio."
"I like it that I don't need any special software to run this program."
"Most valuable features include code navigation by symbols and document auto formatting."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"I like that it works fine and that it performs better than competing products. I'm very happy with Microsoft Visual Studio."
"It is a straightforward solution to set up."
"I was testing how to publish in a cloud using Azure and it was very easy."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the database connections."
"You can easily create, edit, and test any software and develop applications for all the major platforms, including cloud, desktop, and mobile."
"Sometimes it can be really difficult to debug using ASP.NET. When there's an issue, trying to find out the cause is not always easy, so debugging is the top area for improvement, in my opinion."

"Despite its advantages, challenges in diverse cloud environments may prompt the uninstallation of the application or entire development environment for resolution."
"The migration could improve in Microsoft Visual Studio. When I upgraded from 2017 and up to 2022 it was not smooth. There was a lot of manual hand-picking. Microsoft should put a higher budget for the database developers' section in Visual Studio."
"I would like to see more tools in the next release."
"There is room for improvement in the price of the solution overall."
"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."
"In the next version I would like to see a better development tool."
"I have faced configuration issues with Microsoft Visual Studio."
"Could be improved with the ability to personalize the interface and development style and to edit extension requirements."
