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.

Full Stack Developer at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Integrates well, straightforward implementation, and high availability
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "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."

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.

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.
