Why is .NET a good option?

bomish keti

Hi all, forgive me if this is an inappropriate post for this board.

I'm about to start work with a big client - they are sort of set on a .NET / Windows solution and unfortunately it's not my firm's typical deployment.

Besides business reasons (ie. I use it because this is how my company does it, or I'm used to it) what are some of the benefits of Windows, .NET, C#, SQL Server, IIS, WCF, WPF, Visual Studio, etc?

If you have any experience with the typical open source stack, ie. Linux, NGINX, Postgres / MySQL, and any number of languages, containers, vms, web frameworks, etc. - how does it compare? Can you speak to something the Microsoft stack does better / easier / faster?

Thanks so much.

The main problem with LAMP is when you are not making a straight up wordpress.
ASP.NET performs better under stress and is cheaper than PHP under stress. Check out this test:
https://www.elitenet.dk/asp-net-vrs-wordpress-benchmark/
In hosting ASP.NET costs 18$ pr/1000 users and PHP costs 71$ pr/1000 users.

Security, authorization and database connectivity is stronger with ASP.NET and the modules are backed directly by Microsoft.

PHP is not a framework like ASP.NET, it was from start a scripting language. Therefore the community has "invented" Laravel. People tend to get a lot of bugs in their website with PHP.

ASP.NET is better suited for large and medium-sized organizations whereas PHP is better equipped to serve start-up and small-sized organizations.

1) .Net also provides a multi-tier framework which provides facilities where business logic and data are captured. 2)It also provides the best platform as a framework and provides automatic garbage collection. 3)It allows linq operations to run queries from code side to avoid some procedures. 4).Net provides membership authentication and form authentication kind of securities 5) Hosted with iis so it captures all the event log There're some more benefits also to go with the Microsoft technology Thank you
