Facilitates integration of test scenarios while needing modernization of components

AntonioNascimento - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"The logging and monitoring could improve in Microsoft Azure App Service."
"Can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"The outbound connectivity is not great."
"The most valuable feature I find in Azure App Service is Microsoft Teams, as it is embedded within Office 365 and integrated with SharePoint."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 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."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
"I rate Microsoft Azure App Service a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Azure App Service is expensive compared to its competitors, especially its cloud-only version."
"The pricing model of Microsoft Azure App Service could be made more clear. There is a scale and range and it can be complicated and convoluted. Some simplification is needed."
"The cost depends on the App Service plan that you choose. There are a number of tiers available."
