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's best features are its application structure and API testing."
"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 solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"We find the solution to be scalable."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place."
"I like the product's connection with Azure analytics services and the ability to build the model on the cloud."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is its integration with Azure DevOps."
"The system can efficiently manage the databases."
"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."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"Microsoft Visual Studio is a must-have tool if you work in Windows environments."
"It is also flexible enough to let me use Git as well as its own version control mechanism."
"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 should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"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."
"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."
"It is simple to use for most developers and nearly impossible to use for non-developers."
"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."
"There could be some features for YAML pipelines in Visual Studio."
"Sometimes, the deprecation of packages can be a challenge."
"I have faced configuration issues with Microsoft Visual Studio."
"Could be improved with the ability to personalize the interface and development style and to edit extension requirements."
"Every time it updates, there are issues."
"The stability of Microsoft Visual Studio could improve. There are times it hangs or stops working and I have to restart the program."
