Beneficial thread management, and asynchronous processing, and template-driven setup
Pros and Cons
- "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 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."
What is our primary use case?
I am responsible for maintaining the backend API for a website built with React, which supports the front end and I use ASP.NET.
How has it helped my organization?
ASP.NET is a great and versatile platform for developing APIs that has helped our organization. It has a robust ecosystem with many tools and SDKs that are tailored to it. It's also easy to set up and run APIs. We also use it with Microsoft Azure, which makes it easy to develop and integrate with Microsoft Azure's Cloud Services. Additionally, Azure Functions are similar to Amazon AWS Lambda functions, it easy to switch between different tooling and environments. It's easier to integrate with Microsoft Azure compared to other platforms.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using ASP.NET for approximately 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
ASP.NET is a relatively stable framework. Occasionally, you may come across bugs or issues, but the ecosystem surrounding it is strong. There are many users within the community who can help troubleshoot and resolve problems, as they have likely encountered similar issues before. The community is a great resource for resolving any integration issues that may arise.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Our tool is available for the general public to use and we're currently expanding. I would estimate that we have at least a few hundred thousand users per week.
We have plans to increase our usage.
We haven't encountered any scalability issues using ASP.NET. We've designed it in a way that minimizes potential bottlenecks and utilizing Microsoft Azure functions with ASP.NET has proven to be a robust solution. The only dependencies we have encountered have been minor.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't personally needed to use technical support for ASP.NET recently, but at my previous job, we were able to get in touch with support which was decent. There is a lot of online support available and I've seen a lot of responses from Microsoft-run support and volunteers. In the past, we've had individuals from Microsoft who are involved in the software come and help with difficult questions. In my experience, the technical support for ASP.NET has been good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
ASP.NET is a widely used tool when working with C#, so it's been my primary choice. I haven't recently used any other tools.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of ASP.NET was complex in general, but compared to other cloud deployment projects I have done, it was relatively easy, particularly when it came to integrating with Microsoft Azure. Other projects involving Kubernetes, have been much more complicated in comparison. This project was less difficult than others.
It took a few weeks to get the infrastructure set up from scratch and gather information. There were changing requirements, it's hard to compare, but it took two to three weeks to get an initial setup. Since then, we've been adding to it as we go. It's not difficult to set up and deploy new things as everything is template-driven and it's easy to work with Microsoft Azure to define and export templates.
What about the implementation team?
We did all the deployment of the solution in-house with four developers.
What was our ROI?
We have received a return on investment using ASP.NET.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
ASP.NET is generally considered a reliable framework and it's widely used when working with C#. Additionally, at my current company, the decision was made to standardize one framework across the development department for ease of maintenance and team switching.
What other advice do I have?
There were four developers that are involved in the deployment and maintenance of the website. We have internal resources for support, but the actual management and maintenance are done by only four developers.
The main piece of advice I would give is to make use of asynchronous processing. It's becoming increasingly common, but it's important to understand its limitations. It's particularly useful when dealing with an application that has a lot of active users. For older code bases or companies that may not be as familiar with it, it's essential to understand and make use of asynchronous processing.
It's a great solution for larger companies, as the costs aren't as significant. However, for startups, there may be more cost-effective alternatives. It depends on the specific needs of the company. However, for an enterprise or large institution, it's a great choice because it's an actively updated framework, now cross-platform, and it's widely used and supported by a large community of developers. It's reliable, stable, and active. For all the reasons in the review, it makes this solution a go-to framework.
It's a reliable and robust framework, but it depends on the specific use case. For backend development, it's a mature and current solution, but for front-end development, there may be better options available in my opinion.
I rate ASP.NET a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Independent Cross Platform App Development Consultant
Easy deployment, with good technical support from the community
Pros and Cons
- "The developer support for ASP.NET is a big positive. It's actually very good, and since there are so many people who use ASP.NET, it's easy to get responses to questions about ASP.NET in the broader community."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
Throughout the last five or six years, I've been jumping on and off on projects, sometimes working on Xamarin, and other times working on ASP.NET.
Currently, I'm working on a project that uses ASP.NET (with .NET Core) quite extensively. This project is intended to help a business internally maintain an inventory of their commodities, assets, and so on. It's essentially an inventory-based evolution developed on ASP.NET.
In total, we have around 30 users working with ASP.NET in my company.
What is most valuable?
The developer support for ASP.NET is a big positive. It's actually very good, and since there are so many people who use ASP.NET, it's easy to get responses to questions about ASP.NET in the broader community.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using ASP.NET for almost six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's definitely stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would say ASP.NET is scalable, and we have about 30 users on it at the moment.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is very good. Since the community is so large, it's easy to get responses for your questions.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I don't recall any technology that can be a complete comparison for ASP.NET.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is easy and it takes only about one hour for deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I think ASP.NET, in deployment, is something that's quite costly when you're on a cloud provider such as Azure, and you have to pay the server cost. On average, it can cost approximately $1,000 per month to host a good site with a few databases. So you can easily burn $1,000 per month for utilizing the different resources that are required to publish your application onto the web.
But in terms of the technology, it is free.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others is that they should be very focused around the usage of the servers, because people really don't worry much about the time, the kind of connections that are being made, etc., and when they go to the cloud, it gets very expensive. So I think it's really important that you think about pricing from day one, when you start developing the solution.
I would rate ASP.NET a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Easily handle data processing and reporting and good features available in the recent releases
Pros and Cons
- "It's a pretty stable solution."
- "I'd like to be able to run any application from a specific point instead of compiling all the code. For example, if I want to test function A, I should be able to test it even if my other functions aren't working. Like in SQL, you provide parameters to the function, and it executes. I'd like to see something similar in ASP.NET."
What is our primary use case?
Our use cases depend on the specific requirements. For example, to get data from Jira to process and build reports using Power BI.
What is most valuable?
I like a feature in the recent release. So, I like the features around logging and pipelines provided by the recent .NET Framework.
What needs improvement?
I'd like to be able to run any application from a specific point instead of compiling all the code.

It is deployed both on cloud and on premises. The deployment time depends. If you're deploying to the cloud, it's typically faster. If you're doing it on-premises, it will take some more time.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is somewhere in the middle. Not too expensive, but not the cheapest either.
What other advice do I have?
It's a pretty stable and scalable tool, and it has very good support. If you find an issue, you can just Google it and find a solution easily online because there's a large community using it. It's pretty easy to learn, and you can usually find help if you encounter any issues.

What about the implementation team?
We all deploy our applications in Git and raise one PR, and we need to deploy it in Jenkins, where we need to test the application. So, it takes one or two minutes because we are in the pipeline. A lot of users are using it, and they also have their changes. We need first to confirm if they are testing anything or not. After that, we can deploy changes and PR. Doing a whole task might take three to seven days, based on the availability of other users and employees.
What other advice do I have?
I have done some UI changes and modifications because the response was not coming from the back end of data for some internal applications. I have also done some filtration from the front end.
Overall, I rate ASP.NET eight and a half out of ten.
