"The solution is useful for seeing what old technology was before the new technology we use today, such as .NET."
"It is seamless compared to Java or any other technology stack."
"One of the most valuable features in ASP.NET is thread management with asynchronous processing. I've been implementing this for a few years and it has proven to be extremely helpful, especially when using a tool that wouldn't have worked without it. It's definitely a fundamental aspect of the platform."
"The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place."
"The most valuable part of the solution is its ability to allow for a high degree of customization."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the user-friendly interface and easy workflow."
"When you have a group project and you want to share your document with your group members, the solution is very useful."

"What I found most valuable in SharePoint Designer is that through it, you can perform a lot of SharePoint functionalities, such as creating SharePoint lists and libraries, as well as customizing pages."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the workflow of the product."
"The most valuable feature is the development."
"Designer is easy to manage."
"The solution is out of date and should not be used."
"An area for improvement is the structure template."
"You are required to have knowledge of C#."
"Performance is an area that can always be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Scripted languages like AngularJS and Node.js are much faster than using ASP on the client side."
"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."
"SharePoint Designer doesn't support the features that are available in the latest version of SharePoint Online."
"If they included some training modules, I would give them a ten, because that would make it even more user-friendly."
"The search function should improve in the solution."
"I am not sure how stable the solution will be once Microsoft stops supporting it."
"SharePoint Online should continue to integrate with other solutions."
"SharePoint Designer could be improved by being more user-friendly. I think that they have a new release, but the focus is on Power Automate, not Designer. Designer's interface is somewhat classical, but it should be more user-friendly."
"The solution is not scalable at all."
"SharePoint does not have enough resources to cover the security part."
