Easy to set up with good functionality and adaptability.

I'm not sure how it could be better. It has everything I need for my work. It would be ideal if there was more research on the product available. We'd like it to have solutions within the product that can help us complete tasks a bit faster. It would be nice if the solution had some sort of bot or assistant within the solution to help us with work within the product. If we could deploy queries and get an answer faster, within 30 minutes, instead of within a day or two.

Beneficial thread management, and asynchronous processing, and template-driven setup

The initial setup of ASP.NET was complex in general, but compared to other cloud deployment projects I have done, it was relatively easy, particularly when it came to integrating with Microsoft Azure. Other projects involving Kubernetes, have been much more complicated in comparison. This project was less difficult than others. It took a few weeks to get the infrastructure set up from scratch and gather information. There were changing requirements, it's hard to compare, but it took two to three weeks to get an initial setup. Since then, we've been adding to it as we go. It's not difficult to set up and deploy new things as everything is template-driven and it's easy to work with Microsoft Azure to define and export templates.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The UI is really good."

"Without Adobe Flash player, I wouldn't be able to do my day-to-day functions."

"Adobe Flash is simple and easy-to-use software. It is very familiar and compatible with other Adobe software, making it easier to use."

"I am impressed with the tool’s documentation."

"With the alliance with Microsoft, the product is perfectly integrated."

"We find the solution to be scalable."

"The solution is useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."

"I would say that we have seen a return on investment when it comes to this solution."

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

"The solution is easy to integrate and understand. It has a very good user interface and a lot of prebuilt tools, which require a lot less coding if we compare it to other solutions."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."

"ASP.NET's best features are its application structure and API testing."

More ASP.NET pros

Cons

"It would be nice to have more integration and faster integration."

"It would be nice to see Adobe Flash as a separate application instead of embedding it with other apps. I want the product to be a simple app. The product’s scalability is also one of its weak points."

"At times it can be slow, but other than that it is a great and helpful product."

"Adobe can focus on the gaming side mode."

"It would be ideal if there was more research on the product available."

"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."

"In addition to the visual aspect, there is a need for ASP.NET to provide a robust visual front end like there was in the past."

"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."

"The con is that every year they are launching a new technology, and for a company like us, we get confused which version should be used."

"ASP.NET is a very slow tool, and it should be faster."

"The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."

"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."

"I'd like to be able to run any application from a specific point instead of compiling all the code. For example, if I want to test function A, I should be able to test it even if my other functions aren't working. Like in SQL, you provide parameters to the function, and it executes. I'd like to see something similar in ASP.NET."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay so far."

"The tool’s pricing is fair."

"I think ASP.NET, in deployment, is something that's quite costly when you're on a cloud provider such as Azure, and you have to pay the server cost. On average, it can cost approximately $1,000 per month to host a good site with a few databases."

"On a scale from one to ten, with one being cost efficient and 10 being the most expensive, I would rate ASP.NET's pricing at six. There used to be IAF, which you could spin on a Windows machine. However, that sort of setup does not exist for Linux machines. Because customers still prefer a Windows underlying infrastructure, it can get expensive."

"The pricing is a bit high and I believe that it can be brought down."

"The solution requires a licensing fee but is worth the investment."

"ASP.NET is open-source and free of charge."

"This is a free solution. However, we have some server licensing costs which are not directly a cost of using the solution."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. Not too expensive, but not the cheapest either."

"The solution is open source and free."
