Makes it easy to build cross-platform with cloud-based, one-click app build system
I was searching for a reliable tool to develop a native mobile app for both Android and iOS. I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform Using the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. Cloud-based…

Streamlined development and robust SDK integration with auto and vertical scaling
The main area that requires improvement is the function apps and logic apps, specifically from a VNet integration standpoint. When running in private network configurations, Logic Apps do not fulfill most of the requirements. Deploying Logic Apps in a private network environment becomes complicated due to the extensive white testing and configurations needed at the networking layer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Some of the features I found valuable are auto-scaling, SSL integration, cost-effectiveness, and the certificates provided by Microsoft Azure App Service."
"The product is scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase is fast, and creating a new component and starting is easy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."
"One valuable feature of Azure App Service for us is its integration with Azure DevOps, which we heavily rely on in our development process."
"The primary and standout feature is ease of deployment."
"The cost is reasonable."
"Azure App Service has several features that are valuable, including its scalability and seamless integration with other systems, which support flexibility."
 

Cons

"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"I want more transparency in billing. It would be better if we could understand and control the billing to customize it. Also, Microsoft should provide more guidance about the widgets and subsets of various products. The Microsoft portfolio is so huge that it's sometimes difficult to choose the correct option. There's always a chance we are paying more than necessary."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes we face problems, but those are technical problems in Microsoft, bugs or something doesn't work as expected, but that's normal."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"The main area that requires improvement is the function apps and logic apps, specifically from a VNet integration standpoint."
"The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"We have no complaints about the pricing."
"Less than USD $100 per month."
"The price of the solution is high overall."
"The cost of the solution is based on usage. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"I rate Microsoft Azure App Service a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Azure doesn't cost as much as other services."
"The cost is reasonable."
