"We use the solution for our customer's web applications."
"It helps scan and mitigates our vulnerabilities using the best protocols to secure our environment."
"Proven solution with valuable customization."
"Microsoft .NET Framework reduces the cost of entry and enables the development of applications with mature and enterprise features, thereby lowering the entry barriers."
"Microsoft .NET Framework’s most valuable features are web application development, RESTful services development, security, performance, and less memory footprint."
"User-friendly and straightforward."
"The .NET Framework simplified operations dealing with the allocation and deallocation of memory spaces and the additional processing resources."
