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 is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"We find the solution to be scalable."
"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."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"The solution is useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"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."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"It is convenient to have all the development tools in one interface."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It's a universal solution. I like that I can easily find software developers for it. I can easily find staff on Microsoft forums. Also, we have other components that are running on top of Visual Studio. I like that it is open to other platforms. Finally, there are many many resources for Microsoft Visual Studio and I can easily find support. There is a large knowledge base for it as well."
"Microsoft Visual Studio's most valuable features are usability. It's an integrated development environment, they have a lot of built-in tools that will be helpful for a new developer to quickly develop their applications, such as mobile applications or web applications."
"Visual Studio makes it easier to compile the code and shows me the errors upfront when coding. For example, it will tell me when a reference is incorrect or if there's a mistake within the function calls. I like how it highlights with a red underline so that I know there's an error at that point."
"It is a stable solution."
"The stability is fine."
"I have found that it is scalable."
"ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."
"The solution's initial setup is intermediate, and it could be improved."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"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."
"In addition to the visual aspect, there is a need for ASP.NET to provide a robust visual front end like there was in the past."
"In my opinion, this solution should improve their web toolkit."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"The con is that every year they are launching a new technology, and for a company like us, we get confused which version should be used."
"We'd like the solution to be more secure."
"Every time it updates, there are issues."
"The reporting services are quite limited in terms of features and need to be improved."
"The pricing for licenses could be reduced to make this solution more competitive."
"The interface is slow to start up."
"I would like to see more on-premise tips and tools along with development time so that I don't need to go to a third-party site."
"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."
"It has a ton of options and that sometimes can become very, very overwhelming for a new person, a new developer."
