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."While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"I have found the entity framework to be a valuable feature. The authentication layer is amazing as well. ASP.NET has a vibrant community, and as a result, we haven't had the need to contact technical support."
"The solution is useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."
"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 most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"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."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"Code management is a new and convenient feature."
"Visual Studio's best feature is debugging, which isn't available with any other Microsoft development tool."
"The system can efficiently manage the databases."
"Microsoft Visual Studio helps my company improve efficiency in software development suites."
"I was testing how to publish in a cloud using Azure and it was very easy."
"I like the performance, stability and ease of use."
"You can easily create, edit, and test any software and develop applications for all the major platforms, including cloud, desktop, and mobile."
"Windows Presentation Foundation or WPF is valuable. It's a tool to give clients a user interface for Windows applications. The summary for mobile applications is also very useful."
"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."
"ASP.NET is a very slow tool, and it should be faster."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"An area for improvement is the structure template."
"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."
"The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"It would be nice if Visual Studio's extensions and updates could self-correct, if they are not working or disabled, and also inform the user."
"I would like to see support for rapid application development. For example, if I am developing a new project, I am repeating many similar steps again and again and again. But the platform could do this easily, instead of me. It would save me time. This is something I would like to have in Microsoft Visual Studio, to have it take over repetitive tasks from me."
"The solution must provide user-friendly features."
"Every time it updates, there are issues."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"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 not recommend it for complex tasks."
"The solution is not really good at debugging JavaScript, jQuery, or SQL"
