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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Microsoft .NET Framework’s most valuable features are web application development, RESTful services development, security, performance, and less memory footprint."
"Microsoft .NET Framework continually innovates, particularly in Visual Studio, which focuses on improving languages, debugging, and .NET functionality."
"The new .NET Core has those middlewares, which are awesome from a security standpoint. With the old Framework or the newer Framework, middleware is basically an event pipeline. You configure and register it, and it handles things centrally. A simple example is logging. With the old Framework, you needed to try/catch blocks everywhere. Here, you configure the logging handler once, and it captures exceptions across the application. I really like the middleware pattern."
"A great solution for creating program solutions in a framework for Microsoft Windows quickly and easily."
"Ease of use, the richness of the libraries and basically very good development tools."
"The Windows Communication Foundation is the biggest advantage we get from the .NET Framework."
"I'd rate the solution as highly stable."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"This is a robust solution."
"WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product could have a better framework for application development."
"Lacking in auto-scaling."
"The product's price is an area of concern, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Microsoft .NET Framework has a steep learning curve, which could be improved."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"There is room for Microsoft .NET Framework to improve cloud platform capabilities."
"The runtime environment for ASP.NET needs improvement to make it more universal."
"I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten."
"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."
"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
"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."
"I think the support could be much better."
"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product and support for this solution are free for everyone."
"The product’s pricing is a bit high."
"We have an annual license, and we pay extra for extended support."
"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 pricing could be cheaper."
"If you want to develop an enterprise-level application, you have to purchase the enterprise-level development license."
"The product is not expensive."
"There is a Community Edition that can be used free of charge, but the licensing cost for the Enterprise version is quite high."
"Scaling is costly."
"Technical support is very costly."
"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."
"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."
