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 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 solution has good scalability."
"The solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"The main pro is that it's very easy and we have Microsoft helping to stabilize the product which is coming with the all new features every year."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"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"
"I have found the entity framework to be a valuable feature. The authentication layer is amazing as well. ASP.NET has a vibrant community, and as a result, we haven't had the need to contact technical support."
"The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"The solution can scale."
"I like it that I don't need any special software to run this program."
"Visual Studio is a tool used for custom software development. It covers everything under this umbrella, including architecture for automation testing."
"It is a stable solution."
"While you're coding, it's really nice to be able to print stuff out and make sure that all the data is being organized the way you want it to be."
"This solution can integrate with almost any functionality offered by Microsoft."
"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."
"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 technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"An area for improvement is the structure template."
"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"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."
"You are required to have knowledge of C#."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"The solution must provide user-friendly features."
"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 stability of Microsoft Visual Studio could improve. There are times it hangs or stops working and I have to restart the program."
"Microsoft should add more visualization for analytical studies or research."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"Every time it updates, there are issues."
"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."
"The hot reload feature is good, but sometimes it doesn't work. It could be improved."
