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 useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."
"ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"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 most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"It's pretty prevalent."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"The stability is fine."
"I like it that I don't need any special software to run this program."
"It is a stable solution."
"You can easily create, edit, and test any software and develop applications for all the major platforms, including cloud, desktop, and mobile."
"One of the most valuable features is its support. It's easy for me to get support even though I never use it. If there's a bug or a performance issue, Microsoft also provides quick updates, and this is another valuable feature of the program."
"We can write programming code, write our test cases and automate tests in Visual Studio.NET."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"The solution must provide user-friendly features."
"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."
"The time that it takes to load the application can be reduced"
"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."
"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."
"The pricing for licenses could be reduced to make this solution more competitive."
"Microsoft Visual Studio can improve by adding more features to the Mac version. There are a lot of features lacking in the Mac version, there are limitations. I can install Microsoft Visual Studio on the Mac operating system, but it is not the same as if I installed it on a Microsoft Windows system. The Microsoft Windows version has a lot of features available in Microsoft Visual Studio."
"With the free version, we don't have that much support for Visual Studio. Its support is a little bit less and can be better."
