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

"With the alliance with Microsoft, the product is perfectly integrated."

"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 Adobe Flash player, I wouldn't be able to do my day-to-day functions."

"I am impressed with the tool’s documentation."

"The most valuable feature of ASP.NET is the support of multiple platforms with ASP.NET Core. Additionally, Azure integrates well with ASP.NET and Visual Studio."

"While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."

"ASP.NET's best features are its application structure and API testing."

"The main pro is that it's very easy and we have Microsoft helping to stabilize the product which is coming with the all new features every year."

"It is easy to install ASP.NET on your laptop."

"The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place."

"I have found the entity framework to be a valuable feature. The authentication layer is amazing as well. ASP.NET has a vibrant community, and as a result, we haven't had the need to contact technical support."

"It's a pretty stable solution."

Cons

"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."

"At times it can be slow, but other than that it is a great and helpful product."

"It would be ideal if there was more research on the product available."

"Adobe can focus on the gaming side mode."

"It would be nice to have more integration and faster integration."

"You are required to have knowledge of C#."

"There should be consistent customization related to security, features, and developers, making the solution more understandable and adaptable."

"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."

"The solution is out of date and should not be used."

"The con is that every year they are launching a new technology, and for a company like us, we get confused which version should be used."

"The solution needs to support its framework on all devices used for mobile application development."

"I am sure there is something that has room for improvement but nothing specific comes to mind."

"The solution's initial setup is intermediate, and it could be improved."

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."

"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."

"The solution is open source and free."

"ASP.NET is an open-source solution."

"The pricing is a bit high and I believe that it can be brought down."

"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."

"ASP.NET is open-source and free of charge."

"The solution is free to use."
