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 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."
"The solution is useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."
"The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient."
"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."
"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."
"We find the solution to be scalable."
"I would say that we have seen a return on investment when it comes to this solution."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"You can easily create, edit, and test any software and develop applications for all the major platforms, including cloud, desktop, and mobile."
"The system can efficiently manage the databases."
"Code management is a new and convenient feature."
"Microsoft Visual Studio helps my company improve efficiency in software development suites."
"I was testing how to publish in a cloud using Azure and it was very easy."
"It is definitely sophisticated and provides many out-of-the-box features. Going community has boosted all that."
"The solution is stable, and it has no issues."
"It is convenient to have all the development tools in one interface."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"ASP.NET is a very slow tool, and it should be faster."
"In addition to the visual aspect, there is a need for ASP.NET to provide a robust visual front end like there was in the past."
"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 technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"There could be some features for YAML pipelines in Visual Studio."
"Long installation or upgrade times are sometimes a problem."
"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."
"Microsoft should add more visualization for analytical studies or research."
"The tool's interface should be more user-friendly."
"Despite its advantages, challenges in diverse cloud environments may prompt the uninstallation of the application or entire development environment for resolution."
"The solution is not really good at debugging JavaScript, jQuery, or SQL"
"You do need to do some training in order to really take advantage of the solution."
