"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."
"Some of the features I found valuable are auto-scaling, SSL integration, cost-effectiveness, and the certificates provided by Microsoft Azure App Service."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can scale."
"The program is stable and we've had no technical issues so far."
"I've used Microsoft Azure App Service quite a lot, and what I like best about it is that it's a serverless HAM, which is a feature that can run a function, a single function, but faster and more frequently without needing any other assistance. This has been what I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service, the serverless option that's very easy to utilize, and you only need a minimal setup to use this and to enjoy the functionalities required, so the solution gives me a lot of comfort whenever I'm using it."
"When compared with Microsoft Power Automate, it is a bit more mature, and we're able to build things pretty rapidly."
"It offers integration with several Microsoft products, including SharePoint and Outlook, in my opinion, is a huge plus."
"Power Automate has been the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are low-code and fast development."
"Of all of the solutions I evaluated, it was the easiest to use and deploy."
"We were impressed with the functionality of the solution."
"I have found the technical support to be helpful."
"Generating reports is very fast with Microsoft PowerApps. It's stable and scalable as well."
"Having a surplus of tutorials from Microsoft, rather than relying solely on documentation or features from other sources like YouTube, can be beneficial."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"Initially, there were some rare instances when the server went down because it was deployed on Linux."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"Lacking somewhat in template data flows."
"The solution needs a bit more refinement in general."
"The product could be improved by making it a production application and enabling the export of apps."
"The flexibility of the user interface could be better."
"The solution should move to the next step in its maturity model and include mobile versions for Android and iOS."
"I would like to have more options for changing the layout because customizing something as simple as colors is very hard."
"They probably need to improve intelligent document processing."
"There are occasional performance challenges."
"The solution must provide more integration with third-party applications."
