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."This framework is very easy to use and tweak for our business needs."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"The solution is useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"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 most valuable feature of ASP.NET is the support of multiple platforms with ASP.NET Core. Additionally, Azure integrates well with ASP.NET and Visual Studio."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the database connections."
"Most valuable features include code navigation by symbols and document auto formatting."
"The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good."
"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 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."
"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."
"The code analysis tool is particularly valuable as it eliminates the need for manual code reviews."
"I like the IDE or the integrated development environment. It's the best IDE."
"You are required to have knowledge of C#."
"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."
"The solution needs to support its framework on all devices used for mobile application development."
"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."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."
"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."
"The solution is out of date and should not be used."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"Sometimes, the deprecation of packages can be a challenge."
"The tool's interface should be more user-friendly."
"It is simple to use for most developers and nearly impossible to use for non-developers."
"They could add new modules to the platform for enhanced functioning."
"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."
"The reporting services are quite limited in terms of features and need to be improved."
"The migration could improve in Microsoft Visual Studio. When I upgraded from 2017 and up to 2022 it was not smooth. There was a lot of manual hand-picking. Microsoft should put a higher budget for the database developers' section in Visual Studio."
