ASP.NET vs. Entity Developer vs. JetBrains Rider

Well suited: for interfaces between machines data and applications. Made as a service. For web applications in factories where you don't have access to thick clients due to the environment. not well suited: quick measurements and fast data transitions between different applications. When time dependency is needed, then you better can choose other solutions.

Initially you may think it’s not worth paying and that there are better free options, which is definitely a lie we once tried to live with. It has everything you may ever need in .NET world, code analysis and debugging works super well and all the SQL/noSQL related integrations are just next level compared to the competition. It’s worth every penny.

• It has a great documentation so new or experienced, you appreciate quick access to quality information
• It’s very fast, uses less memory than initially expected that has decreased our costs after moving from python
• It speaks the language of the design patterns really well, so our backend apps are written fast together and connect to frontend systems flawlessly

• Provides a smooth, efficient IDE for developing .NET applications. Performance has been much better than Visual Studio in my experience.
• Integrated refactoring tools are really comprehensive and useful.
• Integrates with other JetBrains products such as TeamCity, Upsource, dotTrace, etc.

• Net is just like plug and play, we have to focus on a logic of code rest part can be handled by ASP. Net framework.
• It's a best for only web development.
• One downside with ASP.NET is its reliance on the .NET framework.

• Startup time. It takes a while to index big projects.
• Rarely it loses the intellisense and the only way to get it back is by restarting.
• Memory usage for big projects

It is the backbone of all our products

Due to the performance and productivity benefits we get with Rider, we will continue to use it for the foreseeable future.

Rider is a great IDE with extensive C# refactoring support and .NET-specific knowledge. This is great for building .NET applications but for our purposes, the Unity specific suggestions are really helpful.

JetBrains Rider is great as an editing and debugging environment. It reliably connects to the Unity editor and allows debugging, which some IDEs are not as reliable at doing.

Very good, depending on the requirement and budget.

The support forums and knowledge base are extensive and the JetBrains support staff respond quickly to new posts and help resolve issues. There is also a publicly accessible issue tracking system, which allows you to stay on top of any bug fixes or enhancement requests.

We choose ASP.NET because our core business is working with the SAP HANA database using SAP Business One. We can develop state-of-the-art applications with Razor and Visual Studio 2022 fast and with excellent application performance response. Working SAP Hana with JAVA could be more challenging because it has fewer developers communities, and it could be harder to find a solution for a question.

Rider is hands down smoother and way less glitchy than Visual Studio Enterprise. There are way more refactoring capabilities and spell check so that your code is readable, maintainable, and easy to follow. Since Rider is cross-platform, our developers are no longer constrained to only using Windows. We can now get a familiar development environment across Mac, Windows, or Linux!

• We realized positive returns due to interns and new employees already having experience due to the free academic versions available.
• Being able to evaluate the express version prior to purchase was helpful.
• Performance is adequate, but not as responsive as C++. I guess the trade-off is ease of use and being able to find qualified personnel.

• Built in Resharper into the license fee, great, you likely want it
• Demands less resources from computer so needing a beefy work computer might not be the case, save money on equipment.
