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."We find the solution to be scalable."
"The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place."
"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"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."
"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 easy to learn, understand and develop."
"One of the most valuable features in ASP.NET is thread management with asynchronous processing. I've been implementing this for a few years and it has proven to be extremely helpful, especially when using a tool that wouldn't have worked without it. It's definitely a fundamental aspect of the platform."
"We can use different .NET features."
"Microsoft Visual Studio is an easy-to-use solution."
"The installation of the solution is easy."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"It is definitely sophisticated and provides many out-of-the-box features. Going community has boosted all that."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are debugging and IntelliSense."
"The solution includes a debug function that I can breakpoint to easily detect what is wrong with my applications."
"The product integrates well with Azure Cloud, and it supports a ton of languages."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs to support its framework on all devices used for mobile application development."
"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."
"Since it is a heavy product, it is somewhat slow in building and executing the code in a localhost environment and it consumes a lot of resources."
"Every time it updates, there are issues."
"The product could be improved by including axle intelligence."
"The solution is not really good at debugging JavaScript, jQuery, or SQL"
"With the free version, we don't have that much support for Visual Studio. Its support is a little bit less and can be better."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could improve by making it faster. Every time they add a new feature or plugin it slows it down. They should allow the user to turn off features they do not use."
"There are some features that I have yet to explore and it would be helpful to have more information about what is available and how it works."
"They could add new modules to the platform for enhanced functioning."
