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

"This product is a powerful, cross-platform application development platform."
"One of the main advantages I look for with titanium is its cross platform development (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Windows, Linux and OS X)."
"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."
"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."
"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is the automatic upgrades."
"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."
"Regarding its automatic scaling and load balancing features, those capabilities are really effective."
"We use Microsoft Azure App Services extensively, and it is easy to integrate with other services through simple drag and click functionality."
"Everything looks good and we are happy with this product."
"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 App Service has several features that are valuable, including its scalability and seamless integration with other systems, which support flexibility."
 

Cons

"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"Titanium Studio, provided for development on titanium, happens to ignore changes while building and at times it stops printing console messages, so that every time you have to test your code, you have to clean your project."
"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"From an IoT use case perspective, we're all good, however, we should have additional plugins."
"There is still room for improvement in terms of the maturity of the solution. Everything is available that we need, but the issue is that they are still upgrading. Even though they have Azure applications and automation services, they still need to mature more. There are many things that need to mature and the road map for this is quite long, taking another three to eight years to have a mature solution."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"It would be fantastic if Microsoft morphed after my exit service, removing it from subscriptions and moving it to different regions, especially for that service."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could be improved in various application functions, as we have a need for improvement after monitoring and diagnosing each application."
"The pricing is average. It could be lower."
"The most valuable feature I find in Azure App Service is Microsoft Teams, as it is embedded within Office 365 and integrated with SharePoint."
"In terms of improvement, the technical support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The product is not expensive. The tool's price is okay for all of the benefits you get from the solution."
"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."
"We have no complaints about the pricing."
"Less than USD $100 per month."
"Microsoft Azure App Service is an expensive platform, but it depends on the data ingestion. There's a pay-as-you-go plan and a savings plan for compute, but total costs depend on data ingestion and disk space. For high performance, security, and isolation, Microsoft offers a disk space of 1 TB, with a pay-as-you-go price of $40 per hour, if I'm not mistaken."
"The pricing and cost of this solution depends on the use and needs of a business."
"The price of the support could improve. It is expensive."
