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."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 most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"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 most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"The installation of the solution is easy."
"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 code analysis tool is particularly valuable as it eliminates the need for manual code reviews."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"Windows Presentation Foundation or WPF is valuable. It's a tool to give clients a user interface for Windows applications. The summary for mobile applications is also very useful."
"One of the most valuable features is its support. It's easy for me to get support even though I never use it. If there's a bug or a performance issue, Microsoft also provides quick updates, and this is another valuable feature of the program."
"You can use the solution to do coding and drag and drop. It is easy to install with web documentation."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is its integration with Azure DevOps."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see more AI and machine learning technologies made available in libraries."
"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 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."
"In my opinion, this solution should improve their web toolkit."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"Sometimes, the deprecation of packages can be a challenge."
"For Visual Studio, the only challenge I've faced is referencing any package or new concept I'm trying to debug or run."
"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."
"You do need to do some training in order to really take advantage of the solution."
"In the next version I would like to see a better development tool."
"We'd like the solution to be more secure."
"Additional components such as add-ons could be included in the installation packages."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could benefit from a more centralized education system."
