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 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."
"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"
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"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 developer support for ASP.NET is a big positive. It's actually very good, and since there are so many people who use ASP.NET, it's easy to get responses to questions about ASP.NET in the broader community."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"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."
"We find the solution to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a complete package, with an IDE and everything that you need for software development."
"The scalability of Microsoft Visual Studio is good."
"It is pretty simple to set up."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"It is also flexible enough to let me use Git as well as its own version control mechanism."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are debugging and IntelliSense."
"The valuable feature is that it provides a basic template for everything and built-in debugging tools. They definitely save me time."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"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."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"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 the future, I would like to see more AI and machine learning technologies made available in libraries."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"You are required to have knowledge of C#."
"Microsoft Visual Studio can improve by adding more features to the Mac version. There are a lot of features lacking in the Mac version, there are limitations. I can install Microsoft Visual Studio on the Mac operating system, but it is not the same as if I installed it on a Microsoft Windows system. The Microsoft Windows version has a lot of features available in Microsoft Visual Studio."
"I'd like the product to become more secure. You could potentially, for example, download an extension that contains malware."
"The UI could be better, and development could be easier on Microsoft Visual Studio if there were more features like drag and drop and more frameworks, etc."
"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."
"The GUI of Microsoft Visual Studio could improve."
"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."
"In the next version I would like to see a better development tool."
"The interface is slow to start up."
