Arpit Raj Senapati - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Abhilash Cr - PeerSpot reviewer
Very user-friendly and comes with in-built mechanisms for security and performance
With the technical stacks, what happened is that Microsoft evolved in such a way that the features that are available in other technologies were gradually incorporated into .NET or C# for any Microsoft technical areas, whether it is Azure or any other tech stack. So it's gradually happening. We already have some Power Apps and so on. At this moment, Power Apps is restricted within Azure or any kind of Microsoft environment. Such things in the future should be .NET Core. It should be open source or deployable to any operating system so that the dependency can be removed. And with a click, we can get a solution ready for deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Without Adobe Flash player, I wouldn't be able to do my day-to-day functions."
"Adobe Flash is simple and easy-to-use software. It is very familiar and compatible with other Adobe software, making it easier to use."
"I am impressed with the tool’s documentation."
"With the alliance with Microsoft, the product is perfectly integrated."
"The UI is really good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available."
"We find the solution to be scalable."
"The most valuable features are ease of use, scalability, and flexibility."
"ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
"The solution is easy to integrate and understand. It has a very good user interface and a lot of prebuilt tools, which require a lot less coding if we compare it to other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is its visual side, which makes building Windows forms applications visually efficient."
"We use ASP.NET to develop web applications and web API. I'm working at a government financial institution in Mexico that helps citizens buy a house"
 

Cons

"It would be ideal if there was more research on the product available."
"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."
"It would be nice to have more integration and faster integration."
"Adobe can focus on the gaming side mode."
"At times it can be slow, but other than that it is a great and helpful product."
"The capability related to Python needs to be improved."
"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."
"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."
"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."
"Sometimes we have issues with instability and it crashes, which is something that should be made to work better."
"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."
"It could use better reporting and documentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay so far."
"The tool’s pricing is fair."
"ASP.NET is open-source and free of charge."
"The solution is free to use."
"ASP.NET is not an expensive solution."
"This is a free solution. However, we have some server licensing costs which are not directly a cost of using the solution."
"The solution is open source and free."
"On a scale from one to ten, with one being cost efficient and 10 being the most expensive, I would rate ASP.NET's pricing at six. There used to be IAF, which you could spin on a Windows machine. However, that sort of setup does not exist for Linux machines. Because customers still prefer a Windows underlying infrastructure, it can get expensive."
"ASP.NET is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. Not too expensive, but not the cheapest either."
