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 Microsoft Azure App Service is autoscaling and resource grouping. Additionally, the integration works well, it is easy to do.""This solution is easy to deploy.""Overall, all of the features are very good.""I like that it's a ready-to-use, out-of-the-box solution that provides all of the necessary functions for customers, such as codes that can be quickly switched from the production version, or from test and DEV versions to production.""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 most valuable features of Microsoft Azure App Service are its vertical and horizontal scaling, along with its ability to throw a docker image.""The primary and standout feature is ease of deployment.""The most valuable features of this solution are the easy deployment, the scalability, and the Azure maintenance."

"The tool is very easy to use.""The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components.""You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time.""The initial setup is easy."

Cons
"If you're on the cloud, you just get a web interface without much detail for additional configuration or the authority to configure the root or system-level configuration.""Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux.""Customers love it when a solution is affordable, but with Microsoft Azure App Service, you can start and stop it, and when you stop it, it won't be reachable and it won't be available, yet you're still being charged for it. You'll still be charged even if the solution isn't accessible because Microsoft Azure App Service runs on a shared virtual machine that keeps on running, so if there's a way to work this out, it'll be a great improvement to only pay for what you use. The solution should have no hidden cost and no extra charge when it's stopped. This is what needs improvement in Microsoft Azure App Service.""The solution is somewhat expensive.""I am new to the intervention and I find it difficult to find my way around the user interface. I have my own learning tool. However, it could be simpler for new users.""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.""Having a surplus of tutorials from Microsoft, rather than relying solely on documentation or features from other sources like YouTube, can be beneficial.""The outbound connectivity is not great."

"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing.""The tool has minor bugs.""There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad.""The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
