Microsoft Azure App Service Reviews

We are a reseller of Microsoft services and deliver this product to our customers. 

It is for hosting web and mobile applications and data. When we are integrating different applications, we need to connect them with Microsoft Azure services for integration.

We like that it's a close environment where we can do a lot of things. It integrates well across Microsoft products. 

It's stable. Microsoft recently announced it will be adding a local cloud into the UAE.

The solution can scale.

They need to be more transparent in terms of the scalability of the product. It's not clear how many users can use it in tandem. The non-functional information about the platform should also be readily available. 

Unlike AWS, which has many offerings, Microsoft's choices are more limited. AWS also has manuals and videos in order to clarify how things work. Microsoft needs more of that. 

Jordan and Saudi Arabia do not yet have local in-country clouds. 

The solution is somewhat expensive. They have a lot of competition from open-source rivals and need to make their offering more competitive somehow. 

My background is in Microsoft technology, and I have been working with Microsft for five years and with this particular solution for almost three years. 

It's extremely stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

We haven't had any issues with scaling just yet. I haven't hit any limitations. We work with both SMEs and enterprises, and it has met the needs of both. 

I handle pre-sales of software and therefore do not deal with technical support. 

It is moderately easy to deploy. A company would require some technical help or know-how. There's maybe 50% complexity in general. Half is hard, half is easy. 

Our support team is able to assist clients in setting up the solution. 

The price is relatively high compared to other platforms. I can't speak to the exact pricing, however. 

There may be some ancillary services that may cost more. They don't have a comprehensive plan, yet they charge for everything. 

We're a partner.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

Microsoft Azure App Service is primarily used to host web-based applications.

Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration with on-premise solutions.

I have been using Microsoft Azure App Service for approximately five years.

The stability of Microsoft Azure App Service is good.

Microsoft Azure App Service is scalable.

We have customers with 20,000 employees and others with 100,000 employees using this solution.

The support from Microsoft Azure App Service has been supporting my clients.

The setup of Microsoft Azure App Service is easy. The Microsoft Azure App Service can be created within seconds.

The cost of the solution is based on usage. It is less expensive than other solutions.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Azure App Service a ten out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is hosting applications such as function apps, web apps or API. The solution is deployed on cloud.

The ability to scale the App Service is very valuable. It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online. Additionally, it offers the ability to autoscale. That ability to scale out the infrastructure or the instances hosting the application is also a very good advantage in Azure which is cost-effective.

The solution can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide.

We have been using this solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. Approximately 1,000 people are currently using it across major sites.

We have had a good experience with customer service and support. I rate the service provided a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is neither easy nor difficult. However, it is simplified because documentation is provided to guide you. The documentation instructs how to host the applications and manage operations. In addition, the documentation aids in training and familiarizing people with the platform's requirements. 

There are different licensing options available, and we use the pay-as-you-go option. A student subscription is available with its requirements, other payment plans, and additional support. A free trial option is available to try out the platform and see how it works before subscribing.

We chose this solution because we support Microsoft Azure.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. The solution is good but can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide. I advise future users to understand how to use the platform and utilize the documentation provided online, which offers guidance.

One use case was to host the Azure Bot logic code. The Bot logic was hosted on an App Service instance. The other use case was a POC where we were lifting and shifting a monolithic application, a .NET monolithic application, onto the cloud.

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.

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.

I've been using this solution since 2020.

It is deployed on a virtual network on Azure.

It is stable, but it really depends on the workload that is being shifted and the base service plan that is selected. Because though it is a platform as a service, you do have the option to design a service plan that is adequate for your applications, performance needs, and overall traffic that hits your applications. In terms of it being a platform-as-a-service feature, it is quite stable.

It is scalable. The user base for the Bot service application was about 400 to 500 users worldwide.

The technical support is average, and I would give them a six out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup is easy and can be done quickly depending on the number of applications being deployed. A single application should not take more than a couple of minutes to deploy.

The cost depends on the App Service plan that you choose. There are a number of tiers available.

If you have a standard enterprise application, for example, for the sake of simplicity, a single server with 50 requests per second, trying to do a lift and shift to App Service is probably a good idea. Bot framework solutions generally tend to use App Service for custom Bot logic, for hosting the custom Bots and the custom logic for Bots. App Service is probably a bit easier in terms of implementation compared to that of other options.

However, for high performance applications that have a heavy load on them and are expected to perform at a certain level of response time, a pure lift and shift to App Service will not work well. You would probably need to choose a higher tier of App Service with a good App Service plan with a certain number of underlying host servers that are servicing it.

Overall, I would rate Microsoft Azure App Service at six on a scale from one to ten.

We use this solution for small rep services. We are using it currently for three or four small use cases and it is a perfect fit for all of them, which is why we chose it. 

The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance.

There is always room for improvement price-wise.

We have been using this solution for about three or four years.

I have found this solution to be highly stable. 

The scalability of the solution is awesome. 

The deployment of this solution is easy. 

On a scale of one to five, I would rate the ROI of this solution as a three.

On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate this solution as a four.

I would rate this solution as a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for everything I do. We use it on e-commerce platforms and for business activities. Currently, we're using the latest version of the App. However, we used the e-commerce version between 2019 and 2020.

The most valuable feature is the Power Apps because it is very user-friendly. In comparison, the Logic Apps and Azure functions are very robust.

I can't pinpoint a specific feature that can be included in the next release because Microsoft is making new changes to the app every day. Currently, everything works perfectly. 

We have been using this solution for five years. I am a Cloud Solution Architect with TCS, primarily on the Azure front. I research different types of Power Apps. I focus on POCs and deal with architecture data.

This solution is stable as we haven't faced problems working with it yet.

This solution is scalable.

I can't comment on my experience with the customer service and support team because we connect directly with Microsoft whenever we have any issues.

Positive

It is easy to set up if you have experience and knowledge working with it, but the setup is complex if you have no experience. 

Regarding pricing, I can't comment on pricing because I don't deal with issues related to pricing. 

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. My advice would be to gain experience, get an MSN license and practice before working in production environments.

We’ve used the solution for deploying several applications. We use it for testing purposes. It’s used for testing web apps and developing some proof of concepts.
