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.

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

"All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market."
"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"My organization has significantly improved operations using Azure App Service."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
"The most valuable features in the context of development and deployment are the integration with SDKs and the infrastructure standpoint."
"This is a good solution for those who want to start small looking for a data center that is cloud based."
"The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"Everything looks good and we are happy with this product."
"Ultimately it seems like it can do anything that you might be doing with a different tool or in a different location."
"Azure App Service is too easy to setup and appropriate for developers with no knowledge in infrastructure."
 

Cons

"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"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 faster adoption and maybe they can give you some templates, so that we can deploy something and then modify the template."
"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."
"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."
"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 setup is complex if you have no experience."
"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."
"The main problem is that it's overwhelming. Finding the best practices and the optimal way to implement something is always challenging."
"There are no issues with the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"The price of the solution is high overall."
"The cost depends on the App Service plan that you choose. There are a number of tiers available."
"The cost of the solution is based on usage. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"The price of the support could improve. It is expensive."
"The product's price is low, especially if we compare it with other tools or clouds, like Google Cloud or AWS Cloud."
"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 cost is reasonable."
"As you move up the license tiers it becomes expensive."
