Our application responds faster and uses global data effectively
The most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge. Since the data is on the edge, it makes the application more responsive worldwide, thus lowering the loading time and increasing user engagement. The scalability of Cloudflare Workers is also impressive, as it can handle spikes of traffic with ease. Cloudflare Workers also contributes to the application being faster and geographically distributed.
AntonioNascimento - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge."
"Overall, Cloudflare Workers is a very good solution."
"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 technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"The most valuable features in the context of development and deployment are the integration with SDKs and the infrastructure standpoint."
"The stability of Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"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 product is easy to maintain and deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to scale the application."
"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."
 

Cons

"In general, the security of the product could be improved with minimal latency due to its many points of presence."
"Monitoring needs improvement. It's a bit difficult to understand how many failures occur and manage logging effectively."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration and connectivity with other platforms. The solution has good integration with other large companies' solutions but there are smaller service platforms companies where there could be integrated better."
"Licensing, pricing, and potential technical issues could be improved. Microsoft's support and technical aspects like installation complexity could use enhancement."
"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."
"Having a surplus of tutorials from Microsoft, rather than relying solely on documentation or features from other sources like YouTube, can be beneficial."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Azure doesn't cost as much as other services."
"The pricing and cost of this solution depends on the use and needs of a business."
"The product is not expensive. The tool's price is okay for all of the benefits you get from the solution."
"As you move up the license tiers it becomes expensive."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four."
"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."
"We have no complaints about the pricing."
"Less than USD $100 per month."
