We performed a comparison between IIS 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."The product is flexible."
"The solution is simple and very easy to manage compared to Linux."
"The interface, simplicity, and ease of management are all good features that make this user-friendly."
"The product is easy to use."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The initial setup of IIS is easy. The process takes only five minutes."
"The product is scalable."
"The solution is very stable. The solution is very simple and easy to use."
"The web development and Microsoft Windows service development capabilities are among the most valuable features offered by the Microsoft .NET Framework. This language platform is highly user-friendly, with plenty of online examples and information available, as well as a robust development environment."
"Microsoft Platform is the only viable solution when I wish to do something that is not supposed to be cross-platform."
"The .NET Framework simplified operations dealing with the allocation and deallocation of memory spaces and the additional processing resources."
"When it comes to the user interface, the context is better than other tools because it is easier to use."
"The .NET framework is a mature platform that is very helpful and saves time during the software development process."
"The technology is very scalable and accessible 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."
"It facilitated the streamlined scheduling process by amalgamating inputs from various sources, including location data and other systems."
"It lacks a few performance improvement tools."
"If Microsoft IIS could work well with AppOptics or things like PHP, Python, and other custom languages that run on the webserver, it would be ideal. I think there are cases where people need to use Apache instead of IIS when IIS doesn't work well with other web languages."
"I would like to see NLB features in IIS."
"The solution's scalability needs improvement."
"The tool needs to improve its performance."
"IIS's memory management could be improved."
"Sometimes if you are using IIS in large-scale scenarios, meaning that if you are deploying an application within IIS service and you are expecting a large number of users to use this application, you can sometimes find some problems, meaning that the service can shut down by itself unexpectedly if you don't configure your IIS with the correct configuration that can handle this number of users."
"We've never had any issues with the solution, but it's still nice to have overall improvements on it. It could be easier and faster to use, for example."
"In the next release, I am looking for more advanced technologies such as socket communication and enhanced features like realtime chat with the clients."
"The solution has difficulty integrating with other products. There are no such difficulties if you have the same platform, hardware, and operating system."
"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 runtime environment for ASP.NET needs improvement to make it more universal."
"You need to have the technical expertise to use this product."
"Improvements are needed in .NET development, particularly in a backend scenario."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the memory for better performance."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
