Intuitive, easier to develop, maintain, and migrate from the old framework to newer versions
There are a few areas where they could compete better with products like React or Angular – the popular SPA (Single Page Application) frameworks. Microsoft has its own product called Blazor, but I don't think it's quite as powerful yet as React or Angular. I think that's an area for improvement. For example, HR asked me to build something that worked offline and online. Microsoft products don't really support that well, as I'd have to rely on browser databases. React and Angular are better for that. If I need something faster, I'd definitely use React. So, I see Microsoft lagging a bit in that area.

Coding flexibility with good integration but users need coding knowledge

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable thing about Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is an enterprise-grade language and platform."
"The solution has assisted our organization in the full-stack development process. The tool can be deployed on all types of devices, including mobiles and desktops. The MAUI capabilities of the solution have been the most beneficial feature for our organization's development needs."
"The .NET Framework is easier to use because it provides a wide range of libraries."
"Microsoft Platform is the only viable solution when I wish to do something that is not supposed to be cross-platform."
"When using Microsoft .NET Framework, you start writing the code internally."
"When it comes to the user interface, the context is better than other tools because it is easier to use."
"The technology is very scalable and accessible to use."
"The most valuable features for us are web frameworks like MVC, Web API, and WCS."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"The program is scalable."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"It integrates well with other solutions."
"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."
"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
 

Cons

"This solution should include Power BI so that we don't have to use any third-party tools."
"In the next release, I am looking for more advanced technologies such as socket communication and enhanced features like realtime chat with the clients."
"One thing that could be improved is the tooling and IDE for .NET in non-Windows environments like Mac."
"They should have more training materials available that are specific to .NET. We spend a lot of money training our engineers."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
"If AI could be incorporated in Microsoft .NET Framework it would be helpful."
"The integration could improve in Microsoft .NET Framework."
"The learning curve could be improved."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"I think the support could be much better."
"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"The content search is not easy."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is a bit high."
"The support is an extra cost when purchasing the license. The price of the solution is overall reasonable and paid annually or every three years. Additionally, they have a monthly license. The cost is approximately $1,000 per user."
"Considering the bigger picture, opting for the Microsoft ecosystem can be beneficial and it is priced well. When relying on entirely open-source solutions, you may encounter challenges associated with dealing with multiple vendors and potentially compromised security measures. However, it is important to note that Microsoft could enhance its performance when it comes to addressing critical security concerns."
"There is a Community Edition that can be used free of charge, but the licensing cost for the Enterprise version is quite high."
"The Microsoft .NET Framework is free of charge, without licensing cost."
"In the interim, there's no need to purchase videos for viewing. Microsoft has made significant moves in the .NET space, starting with their response in Visual Studio Code and now providing Visual Studio entirely for free. This is a notable shift from the past when we used to pay substantial amounts for technical subscriptions. Previously, a group of ten developers could cost several thousand dollars annually for licensing. However, the current trend is to offer these tools for free to maintain their dominance in the developer market. The market dynamics have changed, and now developers can freely download Visual Studio, making it a preferred choice over other paid options."
"The product is not expensive."
"The product and support for this solution are free for everyone."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
"Scaling is costly."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"Technical support is very costly."
