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."It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"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."
"The solution has good scalability."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"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."
"Code management is a new and convenient feature."
"The tool is good for interactive testing. It has good integrations and works well for remote services. The product also has features for collaborative work where it allows others to control my screen. It has a good community for every language."
"You can use the solution to do coding and drag and drop. It is easy to install with web documentation."
"The stability is fine."
"The system can efficiently manage the databases."
"We have no issues with scaling."
"I like the performance, stability and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with different databases."
"The capability related to Python needs to 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."
"Performance is an area that can always 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."
"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."
"ASP.NET is a very slow tool, and it should be faster."
"The solution needs to support its framework on all devices used for mobile application development."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"IntelliSense could be better."
"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."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could benefit from a more centralized education system."
"The solution is not really good at debugging JavaScript, jQuery, or SQL"
