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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Debugging using Application Insights is a valuable feature."
"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."
"My organization has significantly improved operations using Azure App Service."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"Regarding its automatic scaling and load balancing features, those capabilities are really effective."
"Overall, all of the features are very good."
"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."
"It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The logging and monitoring could improve in Microsoft Azure App Service."
"In terms of improvement, the technical support could be better."
"The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side."
"From an IoT use case perspective, we're all good, however, we should have additional plugins."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"Lacking somewhat in template data flows."
"When using a Linux App Service or containerized App Services, the logging is not as good as when using the Windows version."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a five. The product is affordable."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
"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."
"The cost is reasonable."
"The cost depends on the App Service plan that you choose. There are a number of tiers available."
"The price of the support could improve. It is expensive."
"The pricing and cost of this solution depends on the use and needs of a business."
"Azure doesn't cost as much as other services."
