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)."
"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."
"I found Axway Appcelerator packed with awesome features, that it was easy to learn and easy to build cross-platform."
"It is easy to create builds and distribution is very easy."
"App Service is stable - I haven't seen any issues in the time I've been using it."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
"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."
"Azure data factory is a good tool."
"The most beneficial aspect of Microsoft Azure App Service is its automated DevOps deployment, which includes configurations that ensure secure connections to key vault and database resources."
"The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously, and Azure maintains and manages the server, which is very helpful because we don't have to, while the microservice architecture is also very good and performance-wise it is the best thing I have ever found."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX."
"Unlike PhoneGap Titanium, this product relies heavily on the existing Android ADK or iOS SDKs."
"It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."
"It has hung many times during login and use. Also, it needs a little enhancing for debugging for Android apps."
"Licensing, pricing, and potential technical issues could be improved. Microsoft's support and technical aspects like installation complexity could use enhancement."
"There has been some building of pipelines where we've had to test and redesign a little so if there were maybe some easier to setup guides or more template data flows that would be an improvement."
"The setup is complex if you have no experience."
"The cost management of this solution could be better. We only receive estimations."
"The network side needs improvement. It has to be more stable."
"The pricing is average. It could be lower."
"The tool's UI is an area of concern that needs improvements."
"It is not unsual that we run into problems related to the deployment and post-installation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 model of Microsoft Azure App Service could be made more clear. There is a scale and range and it can be complicated and convoluted. Some simplification is needed."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
"Azure App Service is expensive compared to its competitors, especially its cloud-only version."
"Less than USD $100 per month."
"The price of the solution is high overall."
"The cost of the solution is based on usage. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"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."
