ASP.NET Valuable Features

Brandon Smith - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Developer at United Airlines

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.

Classic ASP.NET had features like session caching, which were immense considering other technologies in the market. However, since we moved to the .NET Core environment, we now have the freedom to deploy it into any environment like Linux or any other operating system. The framework provides in-built security and performance-related mechanisms. We just need to utilize the technical stacks available within Microsoft .NET to incorporate these basic requirements of any business server. We don't need to write much custom code.

The performance of the servers is easy to scale. If we are hosting with .NET and millions of users hit our server, it is very easy to scale out because of the platform, unlike any other technology stack. Nowadays, we use the cloud platform that Microsoft supports. It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack.

The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient. However, for web deployment, particularly with technologies like Blazor Server, the visual aspect is not as prominent, and some improvements are still needed in that area.

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.

In terms of the features that I have found most valuable, I'd compare it to Java and competent technology. We can do the same thing within Java, as well. But the thing with Java is that you need to write end-to-end, and with Microsoft, it is much easier for the developer and the intra-system because everything is very simple. It is not complex to maintain, to design, and to create. In simple terms, we can say that we choose Microsoft technologies most often because of their simplicity.

Any developer, even me, can read, understand, support and maintain. For Java, it's open-source and each fellow has his own style. Of course, .NET has its own so-called design patterns, we can call it Framework, and this Framework is direct for most of the developers. When we know which Framework this software design uses, the developer is easily able to understand it.
