Rapid internal apps have transformed workflows and now automate approvals and order tracking
AWS App Studio could be strengthened with improved debugging and more advanced integration capabilities. From my perspective, the first improvement would be deeper customizations to provide more control over UI components and logic for complex use cases. It would be more helpful to have easier tracking of errors and understanding of workflow failures. If AWS App Studio could have version control support such as stronger Git-style versioning control and rollback capabilities, that would be a feature I personally miss. Additional improvements for AWS App Studio would include better documentation and tutorials. Some features, especially AI generation and integrations, need clearer step-by-step guides. Improved UX is also needed. The interface can feel slightly complex sometimes, so simplifying navigation and workflow would help new users. These changes would make onboarding smoother, and teams could use the platform more efficiently without trial and error.

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

"After adopting AWS App Studio, I have reduced development time by almost 60 to 70 percent and improved workflow efficiency by almost 40 percent."
"The integration works smoothly once you understand the process."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an ideal solution when it comes to lifting and shifting monolithic applications from on-premises to Azure Cloud. It allows for a quick shift into the cloud without having to analyze and design very specific infrastructure and services for monolithic applications hosted primarily on-premises. Let's say that the team does not want to really redesign monoliths in a microservices-based application and that they want to make a quick move towards adopting the cloud tech stack. Then, Microsoft Azure App Service is probably the best option."
"The feature I find most valuable is the 'Diagnose and Solve problem' function. This not only allows us to fix a problem, but also to generate analytics on why the issue occurred."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure App Service is straightforward, and for two or three clients, we have configured more complex setups."
"Azure App Service has several features that are valuable, including its scalability and seamless integration with other systems, which support flexibility."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"The product is scalable."
"The product is easy to maintain and deploy."
 

Cons

"Customer support for AWS App Studio is good but not very exceptional."
"Limited integration is an area for improvement in Microsoft Azure App Service. Another area for improvement in the platform is multi-language support."
"The logging and monitoring could improve in Microsoft Azure App Service."
"Microsoft Azure App Service has a lot of complexity because there are a lot of options and functionality. It is simple to become confused, there are many technical elements to learn before you can utilize the solution. If they could make the solution easier to use it would be a benefit."
"I would like to see some improvement in the UI/UX design, to make navigation of this solution more user friendly. For example, it could contain more explicit information on each of the features."
"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."
"Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux."
"It would be fantastic if Microsoft morphed after my exit service, removing it from subscriptions and moving it to different regions, especially for that service."
"Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Azure App Service is expensive compared to its competitors, especially its cloud-only version."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten and is subscription based."
"The cost is reasonable."
"The cost of the solution is based on usage. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"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."
"The price of the solution is high overall."
"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."
"The product's price is low, especially if we compare it with other tools or clouds, like Google Cloud or AWS Cloud."
