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."
"The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient."
"ASP.NET's best features are its application structure and API testing."
"The solution is useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."
"The solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place."
"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'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."
"Visual Studio is a tool used for custom software development. It covers everything under this umbrella, including architecture for automation testing."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is its integration with Azure DevOps."
"We use TFS for our scrums, which links our tasks to actual code changes."
"I like that it works fine and that it performs better than competing products. I'm very happy with Microsoft Visual Studio."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the integrated development environment. It also offers a very good integration with Microsoft Cloud."
"The solution can scale."
"I was testing how to publish in a cloud using Azure and it was very easy."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."
"In my opinion, this solution should improve their web toolkit."
"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 solution's initial setup is intermediate, and it could be improved."
"The solution is out of date and should not be used."
"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."
"You are required to have knowledge of C#."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could benefit from a more centralized education system."
"What I don't like about Microsoft Visual Studio is its user interface. It could be better. WebStorm is a better solution for me as it has a good user interface and is more user-friendly, though my friends like Microsoft Visual Studio. I worked with WebStorm for the web layer, and for the server layer, I worked with IBM Eclipse which is my favorite software. I also dealt with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS through Angular."
"I would like the solution to have a designing default in addition to the current coding default."
"Could be improved with the ability to personalize the interface and development style and to edit extension requirements."
"The pricing for licenses could be reduced to make this solution more competitive."
"Microsoft Visual Studio needs to improve integration."
"Additional components such as add-ons could be included in the installation packages."
"You do need to do some training in order to really take advantage of the solution."
