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 features are ease of use, scalability, and flexibility."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"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 seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"It's a pretty stable solution."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"You can easily create, edit, and test any software and develop applications for all the major platforms, including cloud, desktop, and mobile."
"I like the product's connection with Azure analytics services and the ability to build the model on the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the way we are able to design code, deploy, and test our application. It is easy to move an artifact from the start to the deployment stage. It has well-defined processes that you can integrate with any team. Additionally, the solution is always improving."
"The valuable feature is that it provides a basic template for everything and built-in debugging tools. They definitely save me time."
"My company works with outsourced programmers. The solution helps us to test, integrate and foresee the code quality. We can trace the development stages."
"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."
"While you're coding, it's really nice to be able to print stuff out and make sure that all the data is being organized the way you want it to be."
"The solution includes a debug function that I can breakpoint to easily detect what is wrong with my applications."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"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's initial setup is intermediate, and it could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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 technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"It has a ton of options and that sometimes can become very, very overwhelming for a new person, a new developer."
"Microsoft should add more visualization for analytical studies or research."
"I would like the solution to have a designing default in addition to the current coding default."
"In the next version I would like to see a better development tool."
"The reporting services are quite limited in terms of features and need to be improved."
"The solution’s technical support could be improved."
"The tool's interface should be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more tools in the next release."
