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."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"The main pro is that it's very easy and we have Microsoft helping to stabilize the product which is coming with the all new features every year."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"We find the solution to be scalable."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"You can use the solution to do coding and drag and drop. It is easy to install with web documentation."
"We like Visual Studio because you can choose the different types of languages, like JavaScript. I think it's better than the other solutions I used."
"The valuable feature is that it provides a basic template for everything and built-in debugging tools. They definitely save me time."
"The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"It is definitely sophisticated and provides many out-of-the-box features. Going community has boosted all that."
"It is a stable solution."
"What I like the most about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's useful. It's also a very stable solution, and is scalable as well. It's quick to set up as it only took me a few seconds to do it."
"You are required to have knowledge of C#."
"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."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"The con is that every year they are launching a new technology, and for a company like us, we get confused which version should be used."
"I'd like to be able to run any application from a specific point instead of compiling all the code. For example, if I want to test function A, I should be able to test it even if my other functions aren't working. Like in SQL, you provide parameters to the function, and it executes. I'd like to see something similar in ASP.NET."
"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"We'd like the solution to be more secure."
"There have been some issues but not very often."
"It would be nice if Visual Studio's extensions and updates could self-correct, if they are not working or disabled, and also inform the user."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could improve by making it faster. Every time they add a new feature or plugin it slows it down. They should allow the user to turn off features they do not use."
"Every time it updates, there are issues."
"The hot reload feature is good, but sometimes it doesn't work. It could be improved."
"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."
