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

"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"The product is easy to maintain and deploy."
"The product's initial setup phase is fast, and creating a new component and starting is easy."
"I've used Microsoft Azure App Service quite a lot, and what I like best about it is that it's a serverless HAM, which is a feature that can run a function, a single function, but faster and more frequently without needing any other assistance. This has been what I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service, the serverless option that's very easy to utilize, and you only need a minimal setup to use this and to enjoy the functionalities required, so the solution gives me a lot of comfort whenever I'm using it."
"The Logic Apps and Azure functions are very robust."
"The user interface and the ability to quickly develop are the two main advantages of Microsoft Azure App Service. You can develop anything without having any coding experience and it is not complex and the components are easily customizable."
"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."
"Azure App Service has several features that are valuable, including its scalability and seamless integration with other systems, which support flexibility."
"The integration works smoothly once you understand the process."
 

Cons

"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"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."
"There has been some building of pipelines where we've had to test and redesign a little so if there were maybe some easier to setup guides or more template data flows that would be an improvement."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
"The main area that requires improvement is the function apps and logic apps, specifically from a VNet integration standpoint."
"The solution can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"The network side needs improvement. It has to be more stable."
"The configuration is slow without understanding the systematic process."
"I thought it would be better to have a template to publish directly to Microsoft Azure App Service using GitHub because there were some documents related to Azure DevOps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have no complaints about the pricing."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
"The price of the solution is high overall."
"The pricing for this solution is set in tiers, with the overall cost depending on the features that are required. I would advise organizations to have a detailed look at the functions they need, to ensure that they are in the correct pricing tier."
"Azure App Service is expensive compared to its competitors, especially its cloud-only version."
"The cost is reasonable."
"The price of the support could improve. It is expensive."
"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."
