We performed a comparison between ASP.NET and Microsoft Visual Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two .NET Development Services solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a pretty stable solution."
"ASP.NET's best features are its application structure and API testing."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"The main pro is that it's very easy and we have Microsoft helping to stabilize the product which is coming with the all new features every year."
"The solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"This framework is very easy to use and tweak for our business needs."
"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 how smoothly it runs."
"What I like the most about Microsoft Visual Studio is that it's useful. It's also a very stable solution, and is scalable as well. It's quick to set up as it only took me a few seconds to do it."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the database connections."
"It is great for integration with Excel."
"The solution is stable, and it has no issues."
"Notably, the Enterprise version facilitates seamless integration with Microsoft products, leveraging the ease of connectivity within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"We use TFS for our scrums, which links our tasks to actual code changes."
"The most valuable features are the extensions."
"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."
"You are required to have knowledge of C#."
"It would be beneficial if Microsoft provided more support for certain technologies, such as Blazor, in the form of basic components. As it stands, some reliance on third-party tools may be necessary. Having more support from Microsoft for these technologies would make it easier for users to build and maintain applications. For example, the grids, date pickers, and dropdown lists would be components to add."
"An area for improvement is the structure template."
"The solution's initial setup is intermediate, and it could be improved."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."
"The solution is out of date and should not be used."

"The solution must provide user-friendly features."
"The UI could be better, and development could be easier on Microsoft Visual Studio if there were more features like drag and drop and more frameworks, etc."
"I'd like the product to become more secure. You could potentially, for example, download an extension that contains malware."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could benefit from a more centralized education system."
"The best advice I can give to others is to take training because it's so easy to use out of the box. However, you might tend to install it and maybe configure it improperly. You need to have some training."
"Microsoft Visual Studio needs to improve integration."
"It would be better if it didn't get stuck. Sometimes when we are writing code, we open too many tabs and modules, and it gets stuck."
