EP Emanuele P. Administrator Computer Networking Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/8/2026 "A thorough and fully developed framework for contemporary development" 3.5/5 What do you like best about .NET? What I appreciate most is the robust ecosystem. There's practically a library for everything, and Microsoft's official documentation is very well done, which greatly speeds up my work. Furthermore, with the latest versions, performance has improved significantly, and the fact that it's now cross-platform allows me to work on different environments without too many headaches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about .NET? Sometimes the initial setup can seem a bit overwhelming, especially for small projects with a lot of boilerplate code. Another thing I find frustrating is switching between older versions of the Framework and .NET Core/5+; if you have to work with legacy code, the difference is noticeable, and the migration isn't always a walk in the park. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is .NET solving and how is that benefiting you? The main advantage is that it solves the problem of fragmentation. Previously, you had to use different stacks for web, mobile, and desktop, but now, with the .NET unification, I can reuse much of my business logic and skills across different platforms. This dramatically reduces development time and makes code maintenance easier over time, allowing me to scale projects without having to rewrite everything from scratch.

AR Akanksha R. Web Development Intern Computer Software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/27/2026 "High-Performance, Secure, and Scalable .NET with Great Visual Studio Tooling" 4.5/5 What do you like best about .NET? What I like about .NET is its strong performance and scalability, which makes it a reliable choice for enterprise applications. The framework also includes solid built-in security, so applications feel safer by design. I’m a fan of C# as well, since it’s clean, type-safe, and remains easy to maintain even as a codebase grows. Visual Studio is another major advantage—it provides excellent debugging and development tools that help boost productivity. The cross-platform support is a big benefit too, allowing applications to run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Finally, the smooth integration with Azure, SQL Server, and other Microsoft services makes it much easier to build, deploy, and manage applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about .NET? What I dislike about .NET is that it can be tough for beginners because of its steep learning curve and sometimes complex project structure. It can also feel verbose, often requiring more boilerplate code than lighter technologies. The versioning model and frequent updates can be confusing as well, especially for new developers who are trying to figure out the right setup to use. For smaller projects or quick prototypes, .NET may come across as heavy and a bit overengineered. On top of that, a lot of the learning resources seem geared toward enterprise-level scenarios, which makes it harder for newcomers to find straightforward, beginner-friendly examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is .NET solving and how is that benefiting you? .NET helps me build reliable, secure, and scalable applications, especially for large, long-term projects. It covers performance, security, and overall structure, so I don’t have to worry as much about stability as the application grows. Features such as strong typing, built-in security, and solid architectural support reduce bugs and make the codebase easier to maintain over time. The excellent tooling, along with smooth integration with Microsoft services, also saves a lot of development and deployment time, allowing me to focus more on building features rather than constantly fixing issues.

The learning curve can be steep for newcomers, especially for those without prior experience in strongly typed languages or the Microsoft ecosystem. Some legacy components and backward compatibility requirements can occasionally make projects more complex, especially when maintaining older applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is .NET solving and how is that benefiting you? .NET helps us build reliable, high‑performance backend systems and APIs that are easy to maintain and secure. Thanks to built‑in libraries, strong security features, and good cloud support, development cycles are shorter and deployment is more predictable. This results in more stable applications, easier scaling, and lower long‑term maintenance costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I appreciate most is the speed. It’s quick to develop with, and the backend performance has been consistently reliable across our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about .NET? The startup times for smaller services could definitely be improved. It works really well for big enterprise use cases, but for simple, quick projects it can sometimes feel like overkill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is .NET solving and how is that benefiting you? It takes away the headache of having to build every small utility from scratch. The library support is huge, so we can simply pick what we need and keep moving. On our latest project, it saved us weeks of development time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
