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."ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"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."
"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"
"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."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, scalability, and flexibility."
"It is definitely sophisticated and provides many out-of-the-box features. Going community has boosted all that."
"We can write programming code, write our test cases and automate tests in Visual Studio.NET."
"Microsoft Visual Studio is a must-have tool if you work in Windows environments."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is how easy it is to access all the basic templates for development. There are so many features you get with Visual Studio that it's really helpful for the deployment, the development, and the intelligence behind it."
"Notably, the Enterprise version facilitates seamless integration with Microsoft products, leveraging the ease of connectivity within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The stability is fine."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is the user interface."
"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."
"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."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"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."
"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."
"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."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"File installations are heavy."
"Visual Studio Team System needs to improve documentation."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could improve by being compatible with more operating systems. However, we understand the solution is proprietary to Microsoft."
"What I don't like about Microsoft Visual Studio is its user interface. It could be better. WebStorm is a better solution for me as it has a good user interface and is more user-friendly, though my friends like Microsoft Visual Studio. I worked with WebStorm for the web layer, and for the server layer, I worked with IBM Eclipse which is my favorite software. I also dealt with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS through Angular."
"There could be some features for YAML pipelines in Visual Studio."
"Microsoft Visual Studio can improve memory management, and packaging and reporting components."
"IntelliSense could be better."
"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."
