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

"The solution is stable."
"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"It's a platform as a service, so we don't have to manage the infrastructure to hold the websites."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
"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 organization has significantly improved operations using Azure App Service."
"The ability to scale the App Service is very valuable, allowing you to host your App Service on Azure with autoscaling that can cost-effectively scale out the infrastructure or the instances hosting the application."
"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."
"Azure data factory is a good tool."
 

Cons

"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"More tutorials and examples."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration with on-premise solutions."
"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 solution is somewhat expensive."
"Customers love it when a solution is affordable, but with Microsoft Azure App Service, you can start and stop it, and when you stop it, it won't be reachable and it won't be available, yet you're still being charged for it. You'll still be charged even if the solution isn't accessible because Microsoft Azure App Service runs on a shared virtual machine that keeps on running, so if there's a way to work this out, it'll be a great improvement to only pay for what you use. The solution should have no hidden cost and no extra charge when it's stopped. This is what needs improvement in Microsoft Azure App Service."
"The outbound connectivity is not great."
"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."
"When using a Linux App Service or containerized App Services, the logging is not as good as when using the Windows version."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is high overall."
"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."
"I rate Microsoft Azure App Service a seven out of ten for pricing."
"Azure doesn't cost as much as other services."
"The product's price is low, especially if we compare it with other tools or clouds, like Google Cloud or AWS Cloud."
"Azure App Service is expensive compared to its competitors, especially its cloud-only version."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten and is subscription based."
"The product is not expensive. The tool's price is okay for all of the benefits you get from the solution."
