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's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"The solution offers good security."
"The product is very cheap and stable."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"It's very stable, and it hosts one of the biggest of many biggest web applications in the world."
"Microsoft Platform is the only viable solution when I wish to do something that is not supposed to be cross-platform."
"Firstly, I appreciate the decision to use Microsoft .NET Framework. I find it to be an excellent language, with a history rooted in providing an alternative to Java, albeit with initial challenges. It is gaining popularity and may be voted the most desirable programming language. What I particularly like about .NET is its language efficiency. While C# is the primary language, the platform also supports others, catering to those inclined towards functional programming. Although I started with Shell, I'm still grasping the concept of functional programming. Despite initial reservations about object-oriented programming, I acknowledge its advantages. .NET is a safer option, and despite criticisms, it has evolved over the years. One notable aspect is .NET's transition to an open platform in recent years, distancing itself from being exclusive to Microsoft engineers. I appreciate the versatility of .NET, enabling code production for a wide range of platforms, presenting a strong competition to Java. It allows targeting practically any physical platform, showcasing its flexibility. These qualities contribute to my positive view of .NET, totaling thirteen aspects that I find appealing."
"The most valuable feature is the financial accounting."
"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."
"In-built refactoring and .Net profilers are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Pre-programmed functions for .NET Framework are widely available."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"I want the user interface to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"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."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"Its stability could be better."
"The GUI for the less experienced users needs some improvement. For some companies, it is hard to configure it if they have not had any experience."
"It is of great concern to us that the solution is not very powerful on cross platform, at it impedes the ability to build and scale with it."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The learning curve could be improved."
"If AI could be incorporated in Microsoft .NET Framework it would be helpful."
"They could enhance support for Python within Visual Studio, as integrating Microsoft products with other frameworks can present a steep learning curve."
"The .NET open source community could be larger."
"Needs stronger security with respect to cloud issues."
"There are performance constraints when multiple users are accessing the application and that consumes CPU resources."
Apache Web Server is ranked 3rd in Application Infrastructure with 21 reviews while Microsoft .NET Framework is ranked 4th in Application Infrastructure with 47 reviews.
