Featured Reviews

Hans De Groot - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive
Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.
Ajit Chandra - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"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."
"Scalability is straightforward, and you can quickly adjust the resources to meet demand."
"Overall, all of the features are very good."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure App Service is straightforward, and for two or three clients, we have configured more complex setups."
"The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far."
"The solution overall is very good."
"I like that it's a ready-to-use, out-of-the-box solution that provides all of the necessary functions for customers, such as codes that can be quickly switched from the production version, or from test and DEV versions to production."
"The stability of Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
 

Cons

"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side."
"Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux."
"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."
"The pricing is average. It could be lower."
"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."
"The outbound connectivity is not great."
"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."
"The main area that requires improvement is the function apps and logic apps, specifically from a VNet integration standpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The pricing and cost of this solution depends on the use and needs of a business."
"The price of the solution is high overall."
"The product is not expensive. The tool's price is okay for all of the benefits you get from the solution."
"The product's price is low, especially if we compare it with other tools or clouds, like Google Cloud or AWS Cloud."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
"Azure App Service is expensive compared to its competitors, especially its cloud-only version."
"Azure doesn't cost as much as other services."
"The cost is reasonable."
