Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Adobe, FourJs and others in .NET Development Services."It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient."
"The solution is useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."
"The solution is easy to learn, understand and develop."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"The feature I find most valuable is the fact that it's broad-spectrum, so it can be used for a wide variety of technologies."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is the good intelligence and UI."
"Notably, the Enterprise version facilitates seamless integration with Microsoft products, leveraging the ease of connectivity within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"You can use the solution to do coding and drag and drop. It is easy to install with web documentation."
"Visual Studio's best feature is debugging, which isn't available with any other Microsoft development tool."
"The valuable feature is that it provides a basic template for everything and built-in debugging tools. They definitely save me time."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Visual Studio are the availability of many extensions, an interpreter, a code formator, and helpful dark and light modes."
"The basic functionality the solution makes it easy to share documents or information with the team."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's free. If you have SharePoint and you want to do some branding, then the only tool available is SharePoint Designer. Microsoft gives the portal, the content management system, and, on top of that, it gives you Designer. So we don't have a choice, but Designer is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The workflow is the solution's most valuable feature."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution can provide us with an on-premises version, as due to our geographical location, we are not able to use cloud-based tools."
"The new version doesn't have the option to view data, but it has other, better features though."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint Designer is document management."
"The management and monitoring features are good."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"The caching could improve in ASP.NET. I don't often run into limitations with ASP.NET. More often, it's the other tools we use that slow us down."
"Scripted languages like AngularJS and Node.js are much faster than using ASP on the client side."
"Sometimes it can be really difficult to debug using ASP.NET. When there's an issue, trying to find out the cause is not always easy, so debugging is the top area for improvement, in my opinion."
"ASP.NET is a very slow tool, and it should be faster."
"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."
"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
"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."
"Microsoft Visual Studio could improve by being compatible with more operating systems. However, we understand the solution is proprietary to Microsoft."
"Microsoft Visual Studio can improve integration with the Microsoft Office suite; this was only implemented in 2022."
"There's not much help to deal with issues on Microsoft's official websites."
"The hot reload feature is good, but sometimes it doesn't work. It could be improved."
"Could be improved with the ability to personalize the interface and development style and to edit extension requirements."
"Since it is a heavy product, it is somewhat slow in building and executing the code in a localhost environment and it consumes a lot of resources."
"The solution must provide user-friendly features."
"The initial setup depends on company specifics. So, it's a bit complex."
"Adding guest users is a bit difficult on SharePoint."
"If they included some training modules, I would give them a ten, because that would make it even more user-friendly."
"SharePoint Designer needs filter options for lists and libraries."
"The record management and digital signature sides need improvement because we still need to rely on other third-party tools."
"SharePoint Designer doesn't support the features that are available in the latest version of SharePoint Online."
"I would like to see SharePoint improve the integration with different systems. I also would like to see more customization."
"The downside is the different versions of SharePoint which means we need to have different designers as not all versions are compatible."
