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 easy to learn, understand and develop."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, scalability, and flexibility."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"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."
"I would say that we have seen a return on investment when it comes to this solution."
"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."
"I was testing how to publish in a cloud using Azure and it was very easy."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are debugging and IntelliSense."
"The stability is fine."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the UI functionality where you can do software development. Everything is available there that you need. You can create the UI, and code, develop and compile it."
"The solution includes a debug function that I can breakpoint to easily detect what is wrong with my applications."
"It's a useful integrated development environment."
"The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good."
"What we like about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's a comprehensive tool. It has features that work for different plans and it has a wide variety of use cases. It's also a powerful tool and it's quite efficient."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"Scripted languages like AngularJS and Node.js are much faster than using ASP on the client side."
"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."
"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."
"There used to be IAF, which you could spin on a Windows machine. However, that sort of setup does not exist for Linux machines. Because customers still prefer a Windows underlying infrastructure, it can get expensive."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"There have been some issues but not very often."
"We'd like the solution to be more secure."
"This solution could be integrated with other open-source languages, such as Python and not only C#, .NET or Microsoft development languages."
"There could be more coding languages in the solution."
"The pricing for licenses could be reduced to make this solution more competitive."
"Visual Studio Team System needs to improve documentation."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the price of the solution overall."
