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."
"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."
"ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"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"
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The feature I find most valuable is the fact that it's broad-spectrum, so it can be used for a wide variety of technologies."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the way we are able to design code, deploy, and test our application. It is easy to move an artifact from the start to the deployment stage. It has well-defined processes that you can integrate with any team. Additionally, the solution is always improving."
"It is definitely sophisticated and provides many out-of-the-box features. Going community has boosted all that."
"You can use the solution to do coding and drag and drop. It is easy to install with web documentation."
"It's a universal solution. I like that I can easily find software developers for it. I can easily find staff on Microsoft forums. Also, we have other components that are running on top of Visual Studio. I like that it is open to other platforms. Finally, there are many many resources for Microsoft Visual Studio and I can easily find support. There is a large knowledge base for it as well."
"My company works with outsourced programmers. The solution helps us to test, integrate and foresee the code quality. We can trace the development stages."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with different databases."
"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 capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see more AI and machine learning technologies made available in libraries."
"Scripted languages like AngularJS and Node.js are much faster than using ASP on the client side."
"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"In my opinion, this solution should improve their web toolkit."
"The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The time that it takes to load the application can be reduced"
"The reporting services are quite limited in terms of features and need to be improved."
"The hot reload feature is good, but sometimes it doesn't work. It could be improved."
"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."
"There's not much help to deal with issues on Microsoft's official websites."
