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 solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"We find the solution to be scalable."
"We use ASP.NET to develop web applications and web API. I'm working at a government financial institution in Mexico that helps citizens buy a house"
"The main pro is that it's very easy and we have Microsoft helping to stabilize the product which is coming with the all new features every year."
"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."
"ASP.NET's best features are its application structure and API testing."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is its integration with Azure DevOps."
"It is also flexible enough to let me use Git as well as its own version control mechanism."
"The solution can scale."
"Code management is a new and convenient feature."
"I like the IDE or the integrated development environment. It's the best IDE."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"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."
"We like Visual Studio because you can choose the different types of languages, like JavaScript. I think it's better than the other solutions I used."
"An area for improvement is the structure template."
"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"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 needs to support its framework on all devices used for mobile application development."
"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."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"The product could be improved by including axle intelligence."
"The GUI of Microsoft Visual Studio could improve."
"It is simple to use for most developers and nearly impossible to use for non-developers."
"Microsoft Visual Studio needs to improve integration."
"Additional components such as add-ons could be included in the installation packages."
"The hot reload feature is good, but sometimes it doesn't work. It could be improved."
"Microsoft should add more visualization for analytical studies or research."
"It would be great if they added some extra support for other languages that are available in the market and prepared it for the, let's say, crypto developers as we are going in the age of cryptocurrency."
