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."Xcode is pretty smart. It's easy to set up and works perfectly on Android."
"The tool's most valuable features are debugging and code management."
"The most valuable feature of Apple Xcode is that it is up to date."
"Xcode has quite a bit of code error checking built-in, which is great. It also goes a step further and suggests fixes."
"It is stable and user-friendly."
"It is complete and relevant to the job at hand."
"We like the ease of access and navigation that this solution provides."
"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 program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far."
"Debugging using Application Insights is a valuable feature."
"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."
"The user interface and the ability to quickly develop are the two main advantages of Microsoft Azure App Service. You can develop anything without having any coding experience and it is not complex and the components are easily customizable."
"It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online."
"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."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"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."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"We would like a 'light' version of this solution to be developed, as it currently uses a lot of memory space."
"As Apple has introduced more and more features on top of Xcode, it sometimes, but very rarely, hangs."
"There is a drag-and-drop visual system, but as soon as you do something dynamic, then you are unable to use it."
"It is a bit challenging to sign in."
"It consists of multiple components and needs a simplified process. This particular area could be more stable."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"Microsoft Azure App Service needs some improvement in the scaling area."
"Can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"I want more transparency in billing. It would be better if we could understand and control the billing to customize it. Also, Microsoft should provide more guidance about the widgets and subsets of various products. The Microsoft portfolio is so huge that it's sometimes difficult to choose the correct option. There's always a chance we are paying more than necessary."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration with on-premise solutions."
"Lacking somewhat in template data flows."
"The logging and monitoring could improve in Microsoft Azure App Service."
