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

"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."
"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."
"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."
"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"Azure App Service has several features that are valuable, including its scalability and seamless integration with other systems, which support flexibility."
"Overall, I would rate Microsoft Azure App Service as nine out of ten."
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server."
"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."
"The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"Technical support is rapid and extremely helpful."
"The product is scalable."
"Everything looks good and we are happy with this product."
 

Cons

"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Extended uptime and improved speed would be beneficial for both development purposes and the free tier of the service. Currently, the uptime is limited to a few hours per day, which could be increased to provide more continuous and efficient usage."
"Microsoft Azure App Service needs some improvement in the scaling area."
"The solution can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"Having a surplus of tutorials from Microsoft, rather than relying solely on documentation or features from other sources like YouTube, can be beneficial."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"If you are not using the product properly, then it can cost you a lot of money. Hence, you need to make sure that you choose the services wisely. You need to make sure that you have a budget and have some alerts associated with it. The tool's cost can easily go high if you don't consider these things properly. You need to review your existing subscription."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"It is not unsual that we run into problems related to the deployment and post-installation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product's price is low, especially if we compare it with other tools or clouds, like Google Cloud or AWS Cloud."
"As you move up the license tiers it becomes expensive."
"Microsoft Azure App Service is an expensive platform, but it depends on the data ingestion. There's a pay-as-you-go plan and a savings plan for compute, but total costs depend on data ingestion and disk space. For high performance, security, and isolation, Microsoft offers a disk space of 1 TB, with a pay-as-you-go price of $40 per hour, if I'm not mistaken."
"The cost is reasonable."
"The price of the support could improve. It is expensive."
"Azure doesn't cost as much as other services."
"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."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten and is subscription based."
