Any downsides to using the ProfileProvider in ASP.NET

138 views Asked by At

Are there any downsides like performance or gotchas in terms of functionality to using the built in ProfileProvider with .NET?

I will be storing office information, extra security questions, etc. Nothing to outrageous so it could be a good fit.

It's not bad for novices, but I think it's tied to the whole membership and roles providers, which I have found to be needlessly cumbersome.
