Easy to set up with good functionality and adaptability.
I'm not sure how it could be better. It has everything I need for my work. It would be ideal if there was more research on the product available. We'd like it to have solutions within the product that can help us complete tasks a bit faster. It would be nice if the solution had some sort of bot or assistant within the solution to help us with work within the product. If we could deploy queries and get an answer faster, within 30 minutes, instead of within a day or two.

Building reliable web APIs and sites has become faster and development stays well supported
I think Microsoft can make ASP.NET better by catching up with other frameworks by adopting features that are very popular in those frameworks, such as minimal APIs and other innovations. They have introduced Blazor, which is their newer front-end development software framework, but unfortunately, Blazor is not well adopted in the market. However, I feel that they will catch up in the future as Blazor has a lot of potential. In my opinion, there is not anything extra needed immediately for ASP.NET; the framework is self-sufficient and very mature at this stage. The problem lies with wider adoption, as some people are anti-Microsoft and prefer open-source alternatives such as React. Microsoft could potentially do a better job at marketing these solutions, but other than that, the tool has the potential to be used in any enterprise-level applications. I would say the setup process for ASP.NET is relatively simple, but with the latest generation of user management or integration with OpenID, the documentation is not comprehensive in terms of what you can do with the latest libraries. They support many things and have decoupled themselves from their own identity servers, but still need to improve documentation considerably.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The UI is really good."
"Adobe Flash is simple and easy-to-use software. It is very familiar and compatible with other Adobe software, making it easier to use."
"Without the Flash player, I wouldn't be able to do what I need every day."
"I am impressed with the tool’s documentation."
"With the alliance with Microsoft, the product is perfectly integrated."
"With the alliance with Microsoft, the product is perfectly integrated."
"Without Adobe Flash player, I wouldn't be able to do my day-to-day functions."
"The solution has good scalability."
"Rapid Development Easy to learn Wide range third party controls availability"
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"Our experience has been very positive and we are satisfied with what we have."
"The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient."
"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."
"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
"It is completely, positively, and positively assisting us."
 

Cons

"It would be ideal if there was more research on the product available."
"It would be nice to have more integration and faster integration."
"At times it can be slow, but other than that it is a great and helpful product."
"It would be nice to see Adobe Flash as a separate application instead of embedding it with other apps. I want the product to be a simple app. The product’s scalability is also one of its weak points."
"Adobe can focus on the gaming side mode."
"It would be nice to have more integration and faster integration."
"At times it can be slow, but other than that it is a great and helpful product."
"It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed."
"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."
"The most important thing to improve in the next release would be support in tooling and high-level designer toolbox for cross-platform mobile app development."
"There is room for improvement with the interface. It is not very fast at times."
"Not best for SEO out of the box."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"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."
"One last thing that needs to be improved is the Azure developer experience, the AZD commands, and how to deploy Aspire applications using different methods, especially on Kubernetes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing is fair."
"The price is okay so far."
"The solution requires a licensing fee but is worth the investment."
"The price of ASP.NET is reasonable. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is free to use."
"ASP.NET is not an expensive solution."
"ASP.NET is open-source and free of charge."
"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. Not too expensive, but not the cheapest either."
"The solution is comparatively cheaper, and you don't have to pay anything for a developer license."
"The solution is open source and free."
