Rapid internal apps have transformed delivery time but now need richer UI control and workflow debugging
The best features AWS App Studio offers include a low-code UI builder, built-in workflow automations, native integration with AWS services, role-based access controls, and quick deployment without managing infrastructure. I find myself using the low-code UI builder the most among these features because sometimes I have to show a prototype to the customer, so I use it the most for that reason. I used workflow automation as well because it allows me to define business logic such as approvals, triggers, and updates without writing back-end code. That significantly reduces deployment efforts for internal tools. AWS App Studio has positively impacted my organization by helping me build internal tools much faster. What used to take two to three weeks can now be done in a few days. It also reduces the dependency on full-stack developers for simple apps, saving 60 to 70 percent of the development cost.

Seamless integration and application hosting enabled through versatile service
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

"AWS App Studio has positively impacted my organization by helping me build internal tools much faster."
"Overall, all of the features are very good."
"I would rate the product ten out of ten."
"It's very easy to use. That's one of the advantages for the business, that you don't need to struggle to configure your website and your app service. Microsoft made sure to make it stable and very easy to configure."
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server."
"My organization has significantly improved operations using Azure App Service."
"The primary and standout feature is ease of deployment."
"The integration works smoothly once you understand the process."
"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service is that it's a PaaS. I also like that it supports Docker and multiple frameworks so that you can work on Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and Python."
 

Cons

"AWS App Studio's scalability is good for internal apps but not intended for large-scale, customer-facing applications because sometimes it makes mistakes."
"Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
"Licensing, pricing, and potential technical issues could be improved."
"In terms of room for improvement, ease of deployment would be an area that needs some focus. Azure does provide out-of-the-box deployment features, but I found that deploying to an App Service instance can be better in terms of more tools that could be available to perform a deployment."
"I am new to the intervention and I find it difficult to find my way around the user interface. However, it could be simpler for new users."
"Customers love it when a solution is affordable, but with Microsoft Azure App Service, you can start and stop it, and when you stop it, it won't be reachable and it won't be available, yet you're still being charged for it."
"I am new to the intervention and I find it difficult to find my way around the user interface. I have my own learning tool. However, it could be simpler for new users."
"I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"As you move up the license tiers it becomes expensive."
"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 pricing for Microsoft Azure App Service is per hour, and you're billed per hour, and it depends on the plan you're using. Each plan can host up to a minimum of four to eight applications at a time, so the pricing is quite okay with how I use Microsoft Azure App Service currently, but with the little testing I've done, I saw that some other regions tend to be costlier than others. If the same SLE is delivered for all services, there should be a way to make the prices parallel across regions. Having more transparent pricing for Microsoft Azure App Service would give customers more comfort."
"Where there are different customer sizes, some customers consume $5,000 US dollars per month. I have some customers who pay and consume more than $20,000 US dollars per month, for example. It is determined by customer sizes and requirements, which vary from month to month."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
"I rate Microsoft Azure App Service a seven out of ten for pricing."
