Principle Consultant at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Our solution is deployed in a hybrid setup; we have some on-site on a private cloud and some on Azure. Most of our costing comes from database licensing, as we use SQL Server, which has very costly licenses. On the Azure side, it is acceptable and configurable, so we are satisfied with that. However, the major part of the cost comes from licensing, especially with SQL Server licenses. The front-end tools for development, ASP.NET and Visual Studio, are open-licensed and open-sourced, so there is not much cost there. Microsoft mainly focuses on volume licenses for reporting and Office 365 and also SQL Server licenses. I do use Web APIs for creating RESTful services in ASP.NET; all of our APIs are REST, RESTful APIs. I have not integrated popular client-side frameworks with ASP.NET; we have custom software that we develop and maintain. I have used ASP.NET MVC architecture; that is what our legacy products use, but the latest ones do not use it as we use web services. My feedback about ASP.NET modular frameworks is that it is one of the fastest frameworks available in the market, which helps in optimizing resources and makes the APIs respond faster. My overall rating for this solution is nine.

I use Microsoft Office, including Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel. The system is simple to use. I am not qualified to make comparisons as my main experience is with ASP.NET. To make such judgments, someone who has tried both options would be needed. I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.

ASP.NET does have good support for Web APIs for creating RESTful services. When developing anything with ASP.NET Web API, you have different types of integrations or frameworks available to support RESTful services or even to enable SOAP as well. When developing a Web API, it is more into SOA, which is Service-Oriented Architecture. Recently, most of our developments are into microservices, which ASP.NET heavily supports through the .NET Core Web API. It is lightweight, and you can plug and play with different libraries and packages which you can download through NuGet and inject into the system. This is very helpful when developing anything in your SOA. ASP.NET helps a lot with asynchronous programming. It is not just ASP.NET; it is with the .NET framework where you have inbuilt asynchronous programming support. Dependency injection helps you load only the required packages into your server. It depends on how you develop your code, which Microsoft heavily supports to avoid mistakes. If the architecture is good and you do your architecture well, then features such as asynchronous programming, dependency injection, and others will help ensure your code runs flawlessly.

Author info	Rating	Review Summary
Principle Consultant at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees	4.5	I find ASP.NET excellent for APIs and websites, citing its ease, stability, scalability, and good ecosystem. Though documentation needs improvement and SQL Server licensing is costly, I highly recommend it.
Managing Director at a computer software company with 11-50 employees	4.5	My company uses Custom Vision for on-premises computer vision, building cloud models due to local laws. It's a stable, valuable platform. I desire more developer productivity via integrated AI tools, rating it 9/10.
Principal System Developer at DiwanDubai	4.5	I value ASP.NET Core for its microservice capabilities, Web API support, and scalability. Despite documentation gaps for newer features and occasional stability issues, I find it easy to use and well-supported, ultimately rating it 7/10.
Software Engineer at Freebees	4.5	As a primary .NET backend developer, I highly value its customizability, community, and excellent Entity Framework. A solid 9/10, my main improvement suggestion is the Azure developer experience, especially for Aspire deployments.
Solutions Architect at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees	3.5	I find ASP.NET Core easy for stable server-side microservices with modern UIs. It's performant and installable. However, I believe documentation for newer features like Blazor needs improvement, and certain scalable options are costly.
Solutions Architect at DreamOrbit	4.5	I use ASP.NET for web development, leveraging its flexibility with .NET Core for scalable deployments across platforms like Linux. While .NET Core offers strong features and ease of scaling, further open-source expansion and cross-platform deployment would enhance its versatility.
Technical Director at a computer software company with 1-10 employees	4.0	We primarily use ASP.NET for financial services and utilities billing, valuing its visual efficiency in Windows forms. However, improvements are needed for web deployment, especially with Blazor Server. We chose ASP.NET for Microsoft's reliability and industry longevity.
Consultant at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees	4.5	As a company with strong ASP.NET expertise, we find it easy to integrate and use due to its intuitive interface and prebuilt tools. However, improvements in pricing and more frequent security updates would enhance its adaptability and competitiveness.
