We performed a comparison between IIS 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 is the easiest way to publish applications which have been designed by older development tools."
"The tool shows us the operating systems where our servers and applications are running."
"It's good and offers good usability."
"Microsoft's technical support has always been very good."
"It is an easy-to-use and secure program."
"The tool is very easy to use and efficient."
"IIS is scalable."
"The solution is easy to use and connects with Microsoft."
"In my opinion, the best thing about Microsoft .NET is the fully featured framework. It provides most of the things which a normal developer requires of any application out of the box."
"The tool offers a lot of support, and there is a lot of knowledge material available, along with a lot of community groups."
"The most valuable feature is customization."
"When we talk about .NET development, we use Visual Studio IDE to create these things. In recent years, there have been a lot of improvements in Visual Studio 2022. It would be a daunting task to list all of the features that have benefited us, as it would require a lot of time and effort. However, there are definitely many improvements year after year in .NET development."
"Microsoft .NET Framework reduces the cost of entry and enables the development of applications with mature and enterprise features, thereby lowering the entry barriers."
"The most valuable thing about Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is an enterprise-grade language and platform."
"When it comes to the user interface, the context is better than other tools because it is easier to use."
"The most valuable feature is the financial accounting."
"In the next release, I would like to see better integration between the cloud environment and the on-premises environment."
"The areas of this solution that need improvement are monitoring, debugging, and troubleshooting."
"Scalability issues and security concerns need attention from Microsoft."
"It lacks a few performance improvement tools."
"The solution's black box is not fast."
"The solution must improve the integration between its databases."
"The product could be more compatible with Linux and macOS, particularly when applying user configuration policies."
"The documentation is not very detailed. They need to improve it and add to it. They should ensure there are lots of visuals to help users better understand the solution."
"In the realm of Microsoft .NET Framework, particularly in the C# language, there have been significant developments that I find highly commendable. I am genuinely fascinated by the continuous evolution of the language, and staying abreast of the latest features in Azure is both challenging and enjoyable. Working with C# in Azure is particularly fantastic. I appreciate in .NET, as compared to Java, is the enforcement of types, providing a better experience in terms of technicalities. Additionally, the introduction of Roslyn in the past few years has brought about the concept of late .NET, which I find interesting and powerful. This allows for the transformation of symbolic code just before execution, eliminating the runtime decision-making process and enhancing efficiency. However, late .NET does come with a drawback – a delay in the last-minute computation when starting an executable. While some may find this less appealing in terms of instant responsiveness, especially in serverless cloud environments, the efficiency gained from executing strictly binary code is valuable. Despite potential drawbacks like the time required for activation, I view .NET favorably for its technical advancements and efficiency, especially in scenarios such as serverless cloud computing. It's essential to recognize the intricacies of how .NET processes code and the efficiency it brings, which some may overlook."
"Microsoft .NET Framework has a steep learning curve, which could be improved."
"In my opinion, this solution can be improved by providing out-of-the-box support for different types of libraries."
".NET Is still heavy or dependant on other Microsoft libraries and frameworks."
"One thing that could be improved is the tooling and IDE for .NET in non-Windows environments like Mac."
"The integration could improve in Microsoft .NET Framework."
"I would like to see more pre-built features in the MVC framework because as it is now, it's very open and you have to develop your own controls in order to use it."
"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."
