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."It's a pretty stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"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"
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"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."
"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."
"You can easily create, edit, and test any software and develop applications for all the major platforms, including cloud, desktop, and mobile."
"Notably, the Enterprise version facilitates seamless integration with Microsoft products, leveraging the ease of connectivity within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The system can efficiently manage the databases."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a complete package, with an IDE and everything that you need for software development."
"We use TFS for our scrums, which links our tasks to actual code changes."
"The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the database connections."
"It is pretty simple to set up."
"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 could use better reporting and documentation."
"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."
"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 solution is out of date and should not be used."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"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."
"The solution needs to support its framework on all devices used for mobile application development."
"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."
"There could be some features for YAML pipelines in Visual Studio."
"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."
"The UI could be better, and development could be easier on Microsoft Visual Studio if there were more features like drag and drop and more frameworks, etc."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"I would like to see more tools in the next release."
"For Visual Studio, the only challenge I've faced is referencing any package or new concept I'm trying to debug or run."
"The product could be improved by including axle intelligence."
