It is very easy and straightforward to implement, but they need to fix the references that are not .Net built.

What is most valuable?

  • Stability
  • Easy to use
  • A lot of resources available on the internet
  • Full support from the vendor

How has it helped my organization?

Our main product is built using ASP.Net. So, basically, ASP.Net is helping us formulate the future of our company.

What needs improvement?

Improving the project ready templates will add a great amount of value. They also need to find a way to fix the references that are not .Net built neither in assemblies nor available in NuGet packages.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for more than 11 years.

They are working on fixing the references but for me the Model View Controller (MVC) frameworks are the best in ASP to use

Good development framework for Windows applications
Pros and Cons
  • "ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform."
  • "In the future, I would like to see more AI and machine learning technologies made available in libraries."

What is our primary use case?

I am a Microsoft .NET technology architect and ASP.NET is one of the platforms that I develop with and support.

What is most valuable?

I like ASP.NET in its entirety.

ASP.NET works well with Windows applications and more generally, the Windows platform.

What needs improvement?

In the future, I would like to see more AI and machine learning technologies made available in libraries.

It would be helpful if they supplied templates or boilerplate code for the microservices architecture that would assist people in starting to build software.

ASP.NET does not support Apple or macOS devices.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ASP.NET for 15 years.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not had an experience that resulted in having to contact technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have not worked with similar frameworks from other vendors.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

I started my career with ASP.NET and I like most of the things about it. I started working with Microsoft technologies rather than Java technologies, and I am still with Microsoft.

In India, they are moving to cross-platform deployment using the .NET work and I haven’t seen any drawbacks, apart from not being supported by Apple or macOS. I think that most customers prefer Windows applications, so they will prefer ASP.NET.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

This programming language is fast but in converting your MVC existing files is difficult.

Valuable Features:

1. No ViewState or "surprise crap". 2. Faster server-side. 3. Simplified model for multiple related views. 4. Unit testable.

Room for Improvement:

1. Difficult to convert an existing site. 2. Not best for SEO out of the box. 3. Challenges if you’re not running IIS7.

Other Advice:

If I needed to build a new site from scratch, and was able to use IIS7, it would be extremely likely that I would choose ASP.NET MVC. It’s a joy to work with (possibly because it’s "new"), and just makes sense. If I needed to work with an existing site, I would certainly have to consider the pro’s and con’s I mentioned above. ASP.NET MVC gives us an amazing new tool in our huge Microsoft toolbox.

There are some other cons that are needed to be discussed like ASP is a bit slower because it uses an overhead server and COM based architecture for execution of code. Also, ASP programs need to run on Windows with IIS installed.
Howerever, now ASP can run on linux platform with MONO. An Apache module(mod_mono) is provided by MONO
for running ASP.NET sites.

Easy way to develop an interactive web application.

Valuable Features:

1. Easy to use and develop pages. 2. Its web applications are professional class. 3. With support from other .NET languages any knowledge of .NET can help one move around ASP.NET. Others: include VB.NET, C#

Room for Improvement:

1. The pages are relatively large and hence may be slow. 2. It is not open source so i find it expensive to buy although as a company it is worth it purchasing but as an individual developer it is too expensive. 3. If you want to test your site unit wise with ASP.NET that is not an easy task.

Other Advice:

ASP.NET is very easy to use if one is familiar with .NET framework.

Hi there,
I saw that you mentioned not easy to test? did you know that you can install IIS and .net on your local computer and test your application that way?

Also you can run .net websites on apache if you install the correct modules...
