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."The solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"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 find the solution to be scalable."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"The solution is easy to integrate and understand. It has a very good user interface and a lot of prebuilt tools, which require a lot less coding if we compare it to other solutions."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"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."
"I like it that I don't need any special software to run this program."
"It is also flexible enough to let me use Git as well as its own version control mechanism."
"I like the IDE or the integrated development environment. It's the best IDE."
"It is a stable solution."
"I like the performance, stability and ease of use."
"The most valuable features are the extensions."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a complete package, with an IDE and everything that you need for software development."
"There used to be IAF, which you could spin on a Windows machine. However, that sort of setup does not exist for Linux machines. Because customers still prefer a Windows underlying infrastructure, it can get expensive."
"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."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"In my opinion, this solution should improve their web toolkit."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"The solution's initial setup is intermediate, and it could be improved."
"The solution needs to support its framework on all devices used for mobile application development."
"Could be improved with the ability to personalize the interface and development style and to edit extension requirements."
"For Visual Studio, the only challenge I've faced is referencing any package or new concept I'm trying to debug or run."
"Microsoft Visual Studio can improve memory management, and packaging and reporting components."
"It would be better if it didn't get stuck. Sometimes when we are writing code, we open too many tabs and modules, and it gets stuck."
"Since it is a heavy product, it is somewhat slow in building and executing the code in a localhost environment and it consumes a lot of resources."
"Microsoft should add more visualization for analytical studies or research."
"The technical support can be slow."
"I would like to have more integration with other platforms and technologies."
