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."Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"The solution offers good security."
"The most significant advantage is the ability to swiftly enable HTTPS services when my DNS is configured correctly."
"The control panel is very easy to navigate. It's similar to most hosting platforms, so it's user-friendly. Once you get used to it, managing your hosting becomes easy, too."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"The most valuable feature is customization."
"The most valuable features for us are web frameworks like MVC, Web API, and WCS."
"As we are a software company, we find that accessing resources using this technology is easier compared to the others."
"Proven solution with valuable customization."
"The solution is not limited in storage, is customizable and simple to use."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the Domain Controller and the WBFS Manager."
"The solution's technical support is very good...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Its stability could be better."
"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."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"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."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"Things change very fast. We're always on the lookout for better approaches and tools. If the solution falls behind, we may have to switch."
"There is a security-related problem that depends on the web server's configuration."
"So far, for us, everything is okay."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
"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 cloud features must be improved."
"One thing that could be improved is the tooling and IDE for .NET in non-Windows environments like Mac."
"If Microsoft would provide a monthly subscription at a cost that a developer can afford then it would be really helpful."
"Improvements are needed in .NET development, particularly in a backend scenario."
"The product is nearing its sunset, and we think that by 2028, we won't get support anymore"
"Microsoft .NET Framework has a steep learning curve, which could be improved."
