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."ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"We find the solution to be scalable."
"The solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"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."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"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."
"It is great for integration with Excel."
"Code management is a new and convenient feature."
"We like Visual Studio because you can choose the different types of languages, like JavaScript. I think it's better than the other solutions I used."
"It is convenient to have all the development tools in one interface."
"It is easy to integrate with GitHub. We integrate with GitHub, and we deploy our solution on our local system. We need this integration for pushing our code. When we were working with Eclipse, we had to write everything in the command prompt, which is a little bit tricky, whereas Visual Studio is very much UI-based and simple. So, it's very easy to integrate GitHub with Visual Studio. It is much easier than Eclipse."
"My company works with outsourced programmers. The solution helps us to test, integrate and foresee the code quality. We can trace the development stages."
"I like that it works fine and that it performs better than competing products. I'm very happy with Microsoft Visual Studio."
"The system can efficiently manage the databases."
"The solution is out of date and should not be used."
"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."
"The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"ASP.NET is a very slow tool, and it should be faster."
"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."
"In my opinion, this solution should improve their web toolkit."
"The caching could improve in ASP.NET. I don't often run into limitations with ASP.NET. More often, it's the other tools we use that slow us down."
"The interface is slow to start up."
"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."
"I'd like the product to become more secure. You could potentially, for example, download an extension that contains malware."
"There are some features that I have yet to explore and it would be helpful to have more information about what is available and how it works."
"I would like to see more on-premise tips and tools along with development time so that I don't need to go to a third-party site."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"I would like to see support for rapid application development. For example, if I am developing a new project, I am repeating many similar steps again and again and again. But the platform could do this easily, instead of me. It would save me time. This is something I would like to have in Microsoft Visual Studio, to have it take over repetitive tasks from me."
"I have faced configuration issues with Microsoft Visual Studio."
