Microsoft .NET Framework Reviews

I use the product to build websites and web pages. The product is also useful to connect to Sitecore.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the packages offered by the product.

There are constant improvements in the product.

I would want the product to be integrated with the different AI tools in the future since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings.

I have been using Microsoft .NET Framework for a year. I am a user of the tool.

It is a stable solution.

More than 100 people in my company use the product.

The product's initial setup phase wasn't difficult at all.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The product is not expensive.

Only if I know the purpose for which someone requires the product will I be able to recommend it to them.

I can say that users can trust and use Microsoft .NET Framework.

Microsoft .NET Framework's CLR has benefited my company's projects.

I am happy with the product's user interface, scalability, integration features, and support.

It is easy for someone to learn about how to use the product.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

For testing purposes, we deploy it on our own server (on the Infrastructure server). For our production, we're deploying it on AWCC too.

Nowadays, Microsoft is trying to fix a few things and build a framework faster than other frameworks. There are a few reasons to choose .NET. However, my supervisor selected this framework for a few scenarios, and our scenario is also quite a good match with the .NET Framework. 

We are using, the .NET Core Framework right now. It's the Core platform. They are releasing a new version, and the new version is becoming faster and easier to use compared to other frameworks and other languages. 

The initial setup is easy.

They offer good CLI support.

It's easy to create and integrate things.

They're improving many features day by day. Maybe other kinds of support would be helpful. Making it even faster would be welcome. Their ORM is a little bit slow compared to other ORM. That said, comparing to the current version and previous versions, their ORM is now much faster.

They should try to improve their Blazor WebAssembly.

Previously, we used to face difficulties in designing a pattern or this kind of feature. However, right now, they're improving this so it's easier to write than it was before.

I've been using the solution for three years. 

The solution has been very stable and reliable. We haven't had issues with bugs or crashes. 

In my company, we have more than 100 employees, and more than 50 are using .NET Framework.

Compared to the previous version, the current version is more scalable in .NET Framework.

I've never used technical support. 

I'm also familiar with Java. 

The product was easy to set up. It was not an overly complex process. I'd give it an eight or nine out of ten for ease of deployment. Their CLI support is very good. 

The deployment itself is fast and takes about 20 minutes or so. I'm using a Windows server. It might vary based on dependencies. In our case, it was very straightforward since we had everything set up and ready to go. Only one technician was needed to set up the server. 

We do not have to pay to use the .NET Framework or other kinds of frameworks. 

We are end-users. 

I'm not sure why the company decided to use the solution. However, they have used it for a while. 

Choosing a framework totally depends on the scenario and project. If you want to build an interface, then the .NET Framework will be good. That said, a Java framework also will be good. I'd recommend either of those frameworks in general. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. they are always trying to improve, unlike other frameworks or languages. There are also good features and a good community around it. 

I use .NET Framework for development because my client uses it. It was already in place when I started the product. They work with .NET because it's mainstream and .NET programs are widely available.

Pre-programmed functions for .NET Framework are widely available.

I would like more web integration.

I have been working with .NET Framework for the past two years.

The framework is stable, but it depends on the size of the application. If it's a larger application running on multiple machines, you may experience issues because it's on Windows, the least stable platform. 

The initial setup is easy, and it takes less than half a day.

I rate .NET Framework seven out of 10. If you are using .NET, make sure your setup meets the requirements because that was an issue that caused a lot of problems.  I would recommend Magic rather than .NET. It takes longer to develop something on .NET. The framework has extensive possibilities, so the learning curve is steep.

As hardware evolved as mainframe, mid-range, mini, micro, personal computers (PC), while miniaturizing the silicon chips and other computer parts, computer software evolved as operating systems, systems software, computer applications, files (to persistent data), databases, etc. After mainframe applications, there was an age of client server software with PowerBuilder-Sybase-Oracle-Visual Basic.

Later came the web applications, where a client computer communicates a request to a server computer and the server computer sends a response to the client computer, in the form of static HTML. The browser, like Netscape or Internet Explorer, captures this response and serves it as web page on the client computer. Though the web request-response is here, still the "forms-with-fields-and-buttons" or "PDF-or-word-report"....

With the advent of client-server and web technology, applications went from monolithic spaghetti-code software to 3-layer and later, n-tier applications. Computer application code became structured and modular, functional, distributed (COM, D-COM and remoting), object-oriented to these days service-oriented web service-based applications.

All these days, Microsoft was walking hand-in-hand with other technology vendors, leading in some innovation and following in some. Microsoft was a large part of this entire IT revolution. Microsoft technology coding practices evolved from MS-DOS, Q-BASIC, MS Windows, client-server oriented Visual Basic, Visual C++ and application-friendlier COM components, and ActiveX. With the web era, Microsoft introduced server-side script (VB Script) and client-side (browser) (JavaScript)-based ASP (Active Server Pages). Until this point, the concept of .NET and the .NET framework was not in the picture. HTML pages were static and an attempt was made to introduce dynamic content (for server-side and client-side validations, custom processing, database handling, third-party component handling) with ASP (Active Server Pages)-based systems.

Microsoft thought of a better way with the introduction of .NET-based languages and the .NET framework. Here, Microsoft tried to generalize between the commonality between their various software products like coding languages (VB, .NET, C#, etc.),MS Windows, Microsoft Office, MS SQL Server databases and other products. These common components were introduced as the .NET Framework. The framework had a common language run-time, memory management (Garbage Collector), error handling (EXCEPTIONS), database handling block using ADO.NET and so on....

With Microsoft .NET, the dynamic web content handling became easier and the Microsoft world of web became more programmable with use of reusable and redistributable web components and systems (building blocks). The .NET framework was the core part of all Microsoft products. Data became more accessible. Forms and user interfaces became more friendlier. There is Microsoft Practices and Patterns guidance to the computer world, in designing, development, implementing, unit testing, archiving, etc.; the entire Software Development Life Cycle of the IT universe.

With Microsoft technology ,IT was as simple as the game of building blocks.

Due diligence is always given in IT technology by all IT vendors and their technicians. It is a complete rotating earth in its universe. What improvements you can suggest for the Great Wall of China or the TajMahal? The IT universe is agile.

Computer systems became a network of computers (intranet-internet) and now are social request-response driven. Web systems were request-response and now web services, WCF, Web API and SOA are making it more data driven, like fifth-generation computer systems. Soon, these computer systems will adapt to artificial intelligence technology and natural language interface; machine learning, big data will be common place. The future could be more nature driven.

I have been using the Microsoft .NET Framework to develop and implement application software for around 15 years.

I have not encountered any deployment issues.

I have not encountered any stability issues.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.

Customer service is excellent.

Technical support is excellent.

The ROI is excellent.

Microsoft technology is becoming freeware and cross-platform, embracing all changes and suggestions from the rest of the IT world.

We use Microsoft .NET Framework to develop various products, including an ERP system.

The technology is very scalable and accessible to use.

The product could have a better framework for application development. We have used Xamarin technology by Microsoft. It needs to be up-to-date compared to other technologies.

The platform is very stable. I rate its stability a nine out of ten.

We have 20 Microsoft .NET Framework users in our organization. We use it every day. I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support services are good.

Positive

I rate Microsoft .NET Framework an eight out of ten.

We use Microsoft .NET Framework for developing plug-ins for different software.

The product has a good interface and easy-to-use programming language. It fits our technical requirements.

The runtime environment for ASP.NET needs improvement to make it more universal.

We have been using Microsoft .NET Framework for three years.

We have 50 Microsoft .NET Framework users in our organization. It is a scalable platform.

The initial setup is easy. It takes several hours to complete and requires a team of four executives to work on the process. Its maintenance has medium complexity. We need to ensure the system's compatibility before doing any further updates.

The product has good technical support services compared to the Java Spring Boot's ecosystem. It provides centralized support, which is helpful for developers.

The tools you use are more important than the framework language. Microsoft .NET Framework is a good choice to develop software from scratch. However, having a licensing ecosystem in your organization would be best.

I rate the product an eight out of ten. It is a solid framework and runtime system supporting different languages.

I'm an associate professor of computer engineering.

The solution is user-friendly and straightforward. I enjoy using it.  

It's a little difficult to scale this product for large organizations.

I've been using this solution for 10 years. 

It usually takes a few months for each new version to become stable. 

Scalability is a bit messy so we're forced to use different solutions for different clustering. 

We're satisfied with customer service. 

This is a good product and although it's not suitable for everyone, we're able to support various clients who use this. 

I rate this solution seven out of 10. 

We have multiple in-house leasing and financing products (Contract Management System, Point of Sale, Credit Acceptance Management, Field Force Agent, Document Tracking) developed on .NET framework 4.5.2 with WPF, Silverlight, WCF and WWF technologies. We use smart client applications for client-side and Business Process Manager (i.e. based on WWF) for orchestration of business processes. We also have proprietary Task Assignment Workflow which is highly configurable based on business rules. Our clients can create custom business rules with the help of the data dictionary shared with them.

The product is evolving, based on the day-to-day needs of our customers and we are making sure to include maximum functionality to support their businesses. The main focus is on "more configuration and less coding," by using industry standard tools.

• Business Process Manager (BPM)
• Business Rules Engine (BRM)
• Document Management System (DMS)
• Automatic Release Deployment via PowerShell and Octopus
• Integration Hub serving as Enterprise Service Bus
• Metadata (i.e. compose database tables/columns, XML nodes; file data into placeholders so they can be placed in BPM, BRM, DMS)

I think we need improvement in our BPM module so that can become more user-friendly for our customers. There is plenty of room in WWF for improvement to make the UI/UX better for the end user, so they are comfortable with the orchestration.

We have issues with websites that are based on Angular, but the rest of the applications or websites are stable so far.

The only issue I have encountered is based on Queue Management. Regardless of whether it is Microsoft or IBM Message Queue, I have had issues while scaling them. The only option I have found is the introduction of multi-threading, but threads consume more processing power.

We were previously using PowerBuilder and then switched because of industry demands for transformation into new technology.

I would rate it at eight out of 10, as we can perform plenty of improvements in all our current products and can improve the UI/UX to meet the needs of the client.
