Works like a perfect solution for each possible project

What is our primary use case?

I have been using ASP.NET and Microsoft technologies for more than five years. I have never been this much addicted to a language like I am right now with C#. We have been using ASP.NET framework from mobile development to web development. It just works like a perfect solution to each possible project I've come across in life up till now.

How has it helped my organization?

There was a gap between developing mobile application some years ago but since Xamarin is in the family of Microsoft, which is a pretty cool cross-platform technology, there is nothing you can't do with Xamarin in the mobile world. It was useful for our organization to reach out for the mobile projects as well.

Most of the important things that would be good in the next release could be support in tooling and design of cross-platform app development.

What is most valuable?

Below are the coolest features of ASP.NET which I found valuable:

  • Cross-platform and container support
  • High performance
  • Asynchronous programming via async/await
  • Unified MVC and Web API frameworks
  • Multiple environment and development mode
  • Dependency Injection
  • WebSockets and SignalR
  • Cross-site request forgery protection
  • Self-hosted web applications
  • Action filters
  • Globalization and localization
  • Profiler

What needs improvement?

Although ASP.NET is a full package for any sort of development, whether be it in web or mobile, each part has been covered well enough but there is always room for improvement. I am pretty sure that Microsoft is working in the same direction to ease the pain of developers. I won't point out anything but I am going to enjoy the fact that it's pretty cool to solve something on our own rather than just complaining about something which we haven't tried. However, who said it's going to be easy, but nobody said it's impossible. 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.

For how long have I used the solution?

More than five years.

Stable solution with easy setup
Pros and Cons
  • "ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it."
  • "ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it."

What is our primary use case?

I used ASP.NET for my personal information in the company, including things like payslips, vacation requests, information about my profile, and career development.

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement with the interface. It is not very fast at times. For example, when you click on something, it can lag a bit. That sort of waiting can be very boring when you are just trying to carry out an easy transaction. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I used this solution for about five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ASP.NET is stable. I did not have to do any maintenance on it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I cannot really comment on this because my company bought a specific number of user licenses and did not increase that amount in five years. 

How are customer service and support?

I did not really have to get in touch with their tech support because we had our own IT department that was in charge of any issues we would run into. We would only escalate issues to the vendor in case of level-three incidents. Most of the time, we took care of any issues in-house. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy. 

What other advice do I have?

Always take into consideration other vendors. I am sure that there are better solutions out there for different customers. ASP.NET is not the best solution for all companies looking to implement a solution like it. Also, it is best to adapt the company to the solution instead of trying to adapt the solution to the company, which is totally different.

Open-source solution that's great for API testing
Pros and Cons
  • "ASP.NET's best features are its application structure and API testing."
  • "An area for improvement is the structure template."

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

An area for improvement is the structure template.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using ASP.NET for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are often stability issues when new updates are first released.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Open-source, generate APIs easily, simple, and quick to install
Pros and Cons
  • "While using ASP.net, we can create interactive websites."
  • "You are required to have knowledge of C#."

What is our primary use case?

With ASP.NET I create APIs

How has it helped my organization?

It is completely, positively, and positively assisting us. To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing to change when generating APIs.

What is most valuable?

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

We can create interactive websites. Aside from that, we can create APIs for mobile platforms and also generate APIs.

What needs improvement?

I am not familiar with ASP. That's why I'm not sure which scenarios will see an increase.

I don't use ASP very often. That's why I'm not sure what additional features would be of assistance to users. I am only using ASP to generate the APIs.

You are required to have knowledge of C#.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with ASP.NET since the beginning.

We are using the old version because this project was started a long time ago.

It is not too old; it's one or one year and a half old.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

ASP.NET is a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

ASP.NET is scalable. We can easily add to it.

This solution is used by approximately 100 developers in our company.

How are customer service and support?

I have never contacted technical support, but some of my colleagues have.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy.

It took approximately 30 to 40 minutes to install everything and have it running.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

ASP.NET is an open-source solution.

What other advice do I have?

You can use ASP.net without a doubt. However, before beginning ASP.net, learn the basics of C#.

I would rate ASP.NET an eight out of ten.

I am not giving it a ten out of ten because there are other languages, such as Angular and React, which are available in addition to ASP. I am not very knowledgeable about them.

However, I am unfamiliar with React and Angular, which is why I rated it an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

  • "The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What needs improvement?

The technology to integrate with cloud information could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ASP.NET for more than 15 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

ASP.NET is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

There are many programmers and consultants who provide support for ASP.NET.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up ASP.NET is hard.

What other advice do I have?

I rate ASP.NET seven out of 10. I recommend the solution .net because it's easy for IT to provide program support.

A flexible solution that is both scalable and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are ease of use, scalability, and flexibility."
  • "Performance is an area that can always be improved."

What is our primary use case?

I use ASP.NET for VBScript. It is used to schedule, deploy, and monitor different processes within UiPath.

How has it helped my organization?

Using this product increases our productivity. It also helps to improve the relationship between stakeholders and customers because the delivery time is very attainable.

What is most valuable?

All of the features are important, based on the project. It really depends on what it is that you're doing.

The most valuable features are ease of use, scalability, and flexibility.

It has a good library that you can find options for what it is that you want to implement or schedule.

What needs improvement?

The areas in need of improvement will vary based on the environment and what it is that you are working on.

Performance is an area that can always be improved. For example, when you are doing invoice processing, you want to make sure that they can run at a faster rate. In terms of claims processing for an insurance company, you want to make sure that they have an increased rate of productivity.

I would like to see a summary or list of key concepts that are available. It should include a list of challenges that people are having, and some of the solutions that can help to solve them.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ASP.NET for two and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are always issues with bugs, but it depends on how you handle them. They can be in different places. For example, if you don't see bugs in the analysis phase then we should isolate the phase where the bug is occurring. You let it run through, almost to the UTI.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is quite good.

The product is normally used by developers. Analysts do use it, but we have a code of honor based on how the project is prioritized. We have to make sure that we communicate with the stakeholders to make sure that whatever they have specified is working. In some ways, it's up to the standards of the person.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have never requested support for ASP.NET.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Prior to this, I worked with other scripting languages. Having this experience goes a long way toward really understanding the project, regardless of industry.

How was the initial setup?

I would say that the initial setup is complex. You have to consider different users or different systems being connected to the user interface, which is where you face some of the issues. Perhaps it was not fully thought out and it didn't have the right input components installed. That is something that you have to make sure of.

What was our ROI?

The return on investment is very high when using this technology.

What other advice do I have?

I would say that integration is the key factor. When you have a better implementation methodology then it will make it easy to integrate with the platform.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to start with an easy example. It will take a little bit of time for you to understand it. Try to find resources and study. Definitely, I would not discourage anybody from using it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
