I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

When using a Linux App Service or containerized App Services, the logging is not as good as when using the Windows version. The Linux App Service should be more user-friendly, focusing on logging, troubleshooting, and similar features. With Microsoft Azure App Service, it is more difficult with Linux or other container solutions because there are many options. When creating an App Service, you can create it as Linux or Windows. After that, you can choose some stack or use Docker to container. When using Linux with container, the logging functionality is not as robust.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"This is a good solution for those who want to start small looking for a data center that is cloud based."
"The solution overall is very good."
"My advice to anyone looking to use Microsoft Azure App Service is that you should try it and see the power of getting your applications out at a faster rate."
"It's a platform as a service, so we don't have to manage the infrastructure to hold the websites."
"If somebody is considering using Microsoft Azure App Service, it is the best because it's easy to use, and there's a plan for every type of workload."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure App Service is straightforward, and for two or three clients, we have configured more complex setups."
"App Services gives a lot of flexibility for us to bring data from any data source and push it to enterprise services, which we want to consume."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could be improved in various application functions, as we have a need for improvement after monitoring and diagnosing each application."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration and connectivity with other platforms. The solution has good integration with other large companies' solutions but there are smaller service platforms companies where there could be integrated better."
"It is not unsual that we run into problems related to the deployment and post-installation."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"If you're on the cloud, you just get a web interface without much detail for additional configuration or the authority to configure the root or system-level configuration."
"I thought it would be better to have a template to publish directly to Microsoft Azure App Service using GitHub because there were some documents related to Azure DevOps."
"The setup is complex if you have no experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
"Less than USD $100 per month."
"Azure App Service is expensive compared to its competitors, especially its cloud-only version."
"The price of the support could improve. It is expensive."
"We have no complaints about the pricing."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a five. The product is affordable."
"The product's price is low, especially if we compare it with other tools or clouds, like Google Cloud or AWS Cloud."
"I rate Microsoft Azure App Service a seven out of ten for pricing."
