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."
"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."
"ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"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."
"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."
"We can write programming code, write our test cases and automate tests in Visual Studio.NET."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"The tool is good for interactive testing. It has good integrations and works well for remote services. The product also has features for collaborative work where it allows others to control my screen. It has a good community for every language."
"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."
"Visual Studio makes it easier to compile the code and shows me the errors upfront when coding. For example, it will tell me when a reference is incorrect or if there's a mistake within the function calls. I like how it highlights with a red underline so that I know there's an error at that point."
"The solution is stable, and it has no issues."
"This solution can integrate with almost any functionality offered by Microsoft."
"We use TFS for our scrums, which links our tasks to actual code changes."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"The solution is out of date and should not be used."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"IntelliSense could be better."
"I'd like the product to become more secure. You could potentially, for example, download an extension that contains malware."
"Despite its advantages, challenges in diverse cloud environments may prompt the uninstallation of the application or entire development environment for resolution."
"I would like to have more integration with other platforms and technologies."
"Its setup process could be more straightforward."
"With the free version, we don't have that much support for Visual Studio. Its support is a little bit less and can be better."
"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 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."
