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 has good scalability."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The solution is easy to integrate and understand. It has a very good user interface and a lot of prebuilt tools, which require a lot less coding if we compare it to other solutions."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"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."
"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"I have found that it is scalable."
"It is definitely sophisticated and provides many out-of-the-box features. Going community has boosted all that."
"I like that it works fine and that it performs better than competing products. I'm very happy with Microsoft Visual Studio."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"The most valuable feature is how smoothly it runs."
"I like the performance, stability and ease of use."
"The code analysis tool is particularly valuable as it eliminates the need for manual code reviews."
"It is easy to integrate with GitHub. We integrate with GitHub, and we deploy our solution on our local system. We need this integration for pushing our code. When we were working with Eclipse, we had to write everything in the command prompt, which is a little bit tricky, whereas Visual Studio is very much UI-based and simple. So, it's very easy to integrate GitHub with Visual Studio. It is much easier than Eclipse."
"In my opinion, this solution should improve their web toolkit."
"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"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."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"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."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"The migration could improve in Microsoft Visual Studio. When I upgraded from 2017 and up to 2022 it was not smooth. There was a lot of manual hand-picking. Microsoft should put a higher budget for the database developers' section in Visual Studio."
"The pricing for licenses could be reduced to make this solution more competitive."
"Microsoft Visual Studio can improve by bringing back designers. They used to have designers for architecture charts and diagrams. They were able to do things, such as database design. If they can bring them back, it would be great."
"The solution must provide user-friendly features."
"The solution is not really good at debugging JavaScript, jQuery, or SQL"
"File installations are heavy."
"I would like to see Visual Studio improve reporting to give us more details on failures. When there are failures, it's difficult to debug. It would be helpful to have more error information to help us to identify the issue and resolve it. I want to know more about software failures and exceptions in the system."
"The technical support can be slow."
