The cache is application scope, so you need to share it with all concurrent
users. This is generally easy to do with cache keys that include the a
unique identifier for the user.

The cache can last as long as you want, depending on the expiration info you
provide when you put something in the cache.

One thing the cache can't do is out of process or SQL-based state
persistence. Those features of session state give you the ability to share
state between multiple load-balanced servers and survive work process
restarts since the state is persisted externally.

A lot of the time, the cache will do what you want and is faster, but it
depends. There are lots of good articles around that discuss the various
ASP.NET state management options.
