We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server and Microsoft .NET Framework based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"Its community is its most valuable feature. Solving problems is easier on Apache because so many people know this product."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"It is scalable."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"When we talk about .NET development, we use Visual Studio IDE to create these things. In recent years, there have been a lot of improvements in Visual Studio 2022. It would be a daunting task to list all of the features that have benefited us, as it would require a lot of time and effort. However, there are definitely many improvements year after year in .NET development."
"Basically, .NET is simply is the easiest programming language to use, based on my experience."
"The solution is not limited in storage, is customizable and simple to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Proven solution with valuable customization."
"It's easy to create and integrate things."
"In my opinion, the best thing about Microsoft .NET is the fully featured framework. It provides most of the things which a normal developer requires of any application out of the box."
"The tool offers a lot of support, and there is a lot of knowledge material available, along with a lot of community groups."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"There is a security-related problem that depends on the web server's configuration."
"Adding a reverse proxy to Apache Web Server would be a significant improvement."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"A monitoring interface would be great for this product. The monitoring dashboards for Apache's models are not included in the basic installation. You can install the basic monitoring model, then connect this model to another monitoring system."
"In future releases, I would like to see better server optimization."
"The integration could improve in Microsoft .NET Framework."
"In the realm of Microsoft .NET Framework, particularly in the C# language, there have been significant developments that I find highly commendable. I am genuinely fascinated by the continuous evolution of the language, and staying abreast of the latest features in Azure is both challenging and enjoyable. Working with C# in Azure is particularly fantastic. I appreciate in .NET, as compared to Java, is the enforcement of types, providing a better experience in terms of technicalities. Additionally, the introduction of Roslyn in the past few years has brought about the concept of late .NET, which I find interesting and powerful. This allows for the transformation of symbolic code just before execution, eliminating the runtime decision-making process and enhancing efficiency. However, late .NET does come with a drawback – a delay in the last-minute computation when starting an executable. While some may find this less appealing in terms of instant responsiveness, especially in serverless cloud environments, the efficiency gained from executing strictly binary code is valuable. Despite potential drawbacks like the time required for activation, I view .NET favorably for its technical advancements and efficiency, especially in scenarios such as serverless cloud computing. It's essential to recognize the intricacies of how .NET processes code and the efficiency it brings, which some may overlook."
"Better integration with other tools to make the operation faster would be an improvement."
"In the next release, I am looking for more advanced technologies such as socket communication and enhanced features like realtime chat with the clients."
"The .NET open source community could be larger."
"Microsoft .NET Framework has a steep learning curve, which could be improved."
"This solution should include Power BI so that we don't have to use any third-party tools."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
