Rapid internal apps have transformed delivery time but now need richer UI control and workflow debugging
The best features AWS App Studio offers include a low-code UI builder, built-in workflow automations, native integration with AWS services, role-based access controls, and quick deployment without managing infrastructure. I find myself using the low-code UI builder the most among these features because sometimes I have to show a prototype to the customer, so I use it the most for that reason. I used workflow automation as well because it allows me to define business logic such as approvals, triggers, and updates without writing back-end code. That significantly reduces deployment efforts for internal tools. AWS App Studio has positively impacted my organization by helping me build internal tools much faster. What used to take two to three weeks can now be done in a few days. It also reduces the dependency on full-stack developers for simple apps, saving 60 to 70 percent of the development cost.

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.

Pros

"AWS App Studio has positively impacted my organization by helping me build internal tools much faster."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is autoscaling and resource grouping. Additionally, the integration works well, it is easy to do."
"Azure App Service is too easy to setup and appropriate for developers with no knowledge in infrastructure."
"App Service is stable - I haven't seen any issues in the time I've been using it."
"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."
"The primary and standout feature is ease of deployment."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure App Service are its vertical and horizontal scaling, along with its ability to throw a docker image."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Azure App Service is straightforward, and for two or three clients, we have configured more complex setups."
"One of our reasons to use the product is its cloud service. Our usage is mainly on the cloud and we like the benefits that we can get from the cloud. You can easily do the literal shift of your application easily. You can jump into the cloud very quickly."
 

Cons

"AWS App Studio's scalability is good for internal apps but not intended for large-scale, customer-facing applications because sometimes it makes mistakes."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure App Service has a lot of complexity because there are a lot of options and functionality. It is simple to become confused, there are many technical elements to learn before you can utilize the solution. If they could make the solution easier to use it would be a benefit."
"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."
"Licensing, pricing, and potential technical issues could be improved. Microsoft's support and technical aspects like installation complexity could use enhancement."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see some improvement in the UI/UX design, to make navigation of this solution more user friendly."
"Sometimes customer service and support can be challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate Microsoft Azure App Service a seven out of ten for pricing."
"The product's price is low, especially if we compare it with other tools or clouds, like Google Cloud or AWS Cloud."
"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 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."
"Where there are different customer sizes, some customers consume $5,000 US dollars per month. I have some customers who pay and consume more than $20,000 US dollars per month, for example. It is determined by customer sizes and requirements, which vary from month to month."
"The price of the support could improve. It is expensive."
"Azure doesn't cost as much as other services."
"We have no complaints about the pricing."
