We performed a comparison between Apple Xcode and Microsoft Azure App Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Mobile Development Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online."
"The feature I find most valuable is the 'Diagnose and Solve problem' function. This not only allows us to fix a problem, but also to generate analytics on why the issue occurred."
"The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is customization. It provides the building block from its modularity. You can add what you need with the appropriate code."
"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."
"Overall, all of the features are very good."
"I'm a decision-maker, not a technician. From my perspective, the most significant advantage is that Azure is a one-stop shop. Everything we needed was included in the Microsoft Agreement. During COVID, it was the most convenient and most straightforward decision."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"There should be additional documentation on App Store deployment. In terms of features, they're pretty much on top of where they need to go. I've been happy with its progress so far. As things evolve, they need to evolve to match that need."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"Extended uptime and improved speed would be beneficial for both development purposes and the free tier of the service. Currently, the uptime is limited to a few hours per day, which could be increased to provide more continuous and efficient usage."
"I would like to see some improvement in the UI/UX design, to make navigation of this solution more user friendly. For example, it could contain more explicit information on each of the features."
"Can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"The outbound connectivity is not great."
"The cost management of this solution could be better. We only receive estimations."
"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."
"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."
"The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side."
