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 most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"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 solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, scalability, and flexibility."
"This framework is very easy to use and tweak for our business needs."
"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is the user interface."
"You can use the solution to do coding and drag and drop. It is easy to install with web documentation."
"It is pretty simple to set up."
"I like that it works fine and that it performs better than competing products. I'm very happy with Microsoft Visual Studio."
"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."
"I have found that it is scalable."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the availability of many extensions, an interpreter, a code formator, and helpful dark and light modes."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are debugging and IntelliSense."
"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."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"ASP.NET is a very slow tool, and it should be faster."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"You are required to have knowledge of C#."
"I would not recommend it for complex tasks."
"IntelliSense could be better."
"In the next version I would like to see a better development tool."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI of Microsoft Visual Studio could improve."
"The best advice I can give to others is to take training because it's so easy to use out of the box. However, you might tend to install it and maybe configure it improperly. You need to have some training."
"They could add new modules to the platform for enhanced functioning."
