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

"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service is that it's a PaaS. I also like that it supports Docker and multiple frameworks so that you can work on Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and Python."
"The best feature is scalability, which allows you to target potential clients worldwide by connecting the application to a local server. This makes the application readily accessible, and the response time will be much better."
"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."
"The cost is reasonable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is autoscaling and resource grouping. Additionally, the integration works well, it is easy to do."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an ideal solution when it comes to lifting and shifting monolithic applications from on-premises to Azure Cloud. It allows for a quick shift into the cloud without having to analyze and design very specific infrastructure and services for monolithic applications hosted primarily on-premises. Let's say that the team does not want to really redesign monoliths in a microservices-based application and that they want to make a quick move towards adopting the cloud tech stack. Then, Microsoft Azure App Service is probably the best option."
"Enroll in some kind of formal training, not from Microsoft, but from a partner, and keep up with the change because the Azure platform changes a lot."
"Azure data factory is a good tool."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
 

Cons

"The solution can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"In terms of room for improvement, ease of deployment would be an area that needs some focus. Azure does provide out-of-the-box deployment features, but I found that deploying to an App Service instance can be better in terms of more tools that could be available to perform a deployment."
"The solution is somewhat expensive."
"Documentation is not well-organized, making it difficult to find current and relevant information."
"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."
"It is not unsual that we run into problems related to the deployment and post-installation."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"The pricing is average. It could be lower."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Microsoft Azure App Service a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The cost of the solution is based on usage. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"Less than USD $100 per 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."
"The cost is reasonable."
"We have no complaints about the pricing."
"The price of the solution is high overall."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
