We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It's easy to create and integrate things.""When it comes to the user interface, the context is better than other tools because it is easier to use.""If we take low code, no code platform such as RPA platforms, you might end up writing 100 lines of code and you might do it in a single line of code using. NET.""The most valuable thing about Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is an enterprise-grade language and platform.""Ease of use, the richness of the libraries and basically very good development tools.""The new .NET Core has those middlewares, which are awesome from a security standpoint. With the old Framework or the newer Framework, middleware is basically an event pipeline. You configure and register it, and it handles things centrally. A simple example is logging. With the old Framework, you needed to try/catch blocks everywhere. Here, you configure the logging handler once, and it captures exceptions across the application. I really like the middleware pattern.""Basically, .NET is simply is the easiest programming language to use, based on my experience."

"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""Integration within the solution is very good.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."

Cons
"One thing that could be improved is the tooling and IDE for .NET in non-Windows environments like Mac.""The product’s reliability needs improvement.""In my opinion, this solution can be improved by providing out-of-the-box support for different types of libraries.""The learning curve could be improved.""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 integration capability of the product with AI is an area with certain shortcomings, where improvements are required.""The product is nearing its sunset, and we think that by 2028, we won't get support anymore""They could enhance support for Python within Visual Studio, as integrating Microsoft products with other frameworks can present a steep learning curve."

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""Its functions need more stability.""There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."

    Overview

    Microsoft .NET Framework is a software development framework for building and running applications for Windows, Windows Phone, Windows servers, XML Web services, and Microsoft Azure. The software is made up of two major components: Common Language Runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework Class Library. The CLR is the execution engine that handles running apps and the Class Library is a library of tested, reusable code that developers can call from their own apps.

    Microsoft .NET Framework Features

    Microsoft .NET Framework has many valuable key features. Some of the most useful ones include:

    • Memory management: With Microsoft .NET Framework apps, the CLR allocates and releases memory and handles object lifetimes in many programming languages, so programmers are not responsible to do it.
    • Multitargeting: Microsoft .NET Framework targets .NET Standard, allowing developers to create class libraries that work on multiple Microsoft .NET Framework platforms.
    • A common type system: When using Microsoft .NET Framework, basic types are defined by the .NET Framework type system and are common to all languages that target Microsoft .NET Framework as opposed to traditional programming languages where basic types are defined by the compiler.
    • Side-by-side execution: By allowing multiple versions of the common language runtime to exist on the same computer, Microsoft .NET Framework helps resolve version conflicts. In addition, an app can run on the version of Microsoft .NET Framework with which it was built and multiple versions of apps can coexist.
    • Development frameworks and technologies: Microsoft .NET Framework provides libraries for specific areas of app development, such as ASP.NET for web apps, ADO.NET for data access, Windows Communication Foundation for service-oriented apps, and Windows Presentation Foundation for Windows desktop apps.

    Microsoft .NET Framework Benefits

    There are many benefits to implementing Microsoft .NET Framework. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

    • Language interoperability: With this Microsoft .NET Framework feature, routines written in one language are accessible to other languages, enabling programmers to focus on creating apps in their preferred languages.
    • Version compatibility: Microsoft .NET Framework offers version compatibility for rare occasions when apps that are developed by using a particular version of Microsoft .NET Framework happen to run without modification on a later version.
    • Extensive class library: With Microsoft .NET Framework, programmers have the ability to use a readily accessible Microsoft .NET Framework class library instead of having to write vast amounts of code to handle common low-level programming operations.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Microsoft .NET Framework solution.

    PeerSpot user, Syed A., Principal System Developer at a government, says the solution is a “Great all in one framework with extensive stack for web applications, windows applications and mobile applications.”

    A QA Supervisor at a manufacturing company mentions, “It comes with many features that you can interact with and has all of the libraries readily available, which is not available in the RPA platforms. You can create your own SSIS package. You can integrate with all of the Windows objects, which is not available in Automation Anywhere, and you need to rely on their Object Cloning technologies to interact with them.”

    Brennan G., IS Technical Architect at Avara Foods Holdings Limited, comments, “It is easy to use, and it runs on a Windows platform. The .NET Framework is a very good framework. It does what I need it to do.”
