We performed a comparison between Apache Web Server and Microsoft .NET Framework based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution offers good security."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."
"Apache has proven to be incredibly reliable, and everything has operated smoothly without encountering any issues."
"Apache Web Server is free of cost."
"It's reliable, configurable and generally secure."
"It is more secure to use Apache and you will have fewer problems than other web services."
"The open-source nature is one of its most significant advantages."
"Firstly, I appreciate the decision to use Microsoft .NET Framework. I find it to be an excellent language, with a history rooted in providing an alternative to Java, albeit with initial challenges. It is gaining popularity and may be voted the most desirable programming language. What I particularly like about .NET is its language efficiency. While C# is the primary language, the platform also supports others, catering to those inclined towards functional programming. Although I started with Shell, I'm still grasping the concept of functional programming. Despite initial reservations about object-oriented programming, I acknowledge its advantages. .NET is a safer option, and despite criticisms, it has evolved over the years. One notable aspect is .NET's transition to an open platform in recent years, distancing itself from being exclusive to Microsoft engineers. I appreciate the versatility of .NET, enabling code production for a wide range of platforms, presenting a strong competition to Java. It allows targeting practically any physical platform, showcasing its flexibility. These qualities contribute to my positive view of .NET, totaling thirteen aspects that I find appealing."
"Given that it's cross-platform right now, where you can use it on Windows and Mac, that is the single most significant feature that has resulted in wider adoption of .NET."
"The solution's technical support is very good...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"User-friendly and straightforward."
"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."
"Ease of use, the richness of the libraries and basically very good development tools."
"The technology is very scalable and accessible to use."
"The .NET Framework is easier to use because it provides a wide range of libraries."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier for users."
"By optimizing the infrastructure to allow the webserver to directly handle queries from memory—particularly by prioritizing the storage of queries in memory and processing them through the web server interface—I could potentially cut down the required instances from five hundred to two hundred."
"There is a security-related problem that depends on the web server's configuration."
"There isn't a dedicated customer support available"
"Its stability could be better."
"Lacks integration with some cloud solutions."
"It would be great if technical support for Apache were available in Iran. It is a very important need."
"The interface has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Better integration with other tools to make the operation faster would be an improvement."
"Microsoft has its own product called Blazor, but I don't think it's quite as powerful yet as React or Angular. That's an area for improvement."
"There are performance constraints when multiple users are accessing the application and that consumes CPU resources."
"They should have more training materials available that are specific to .NET. We spend a lot of money training our engineers."
"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."
"They should try to improve their Blazor WebAssembly."
"The .NET open source community could be larger."
