"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."
"The size of Apple Xcode could improve. It is too large."
"The logging and monitoring could improve in Microsoft Azure App Service."
"From an IoT use case perspective, we're all good, however, we should have additional plugins."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"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."
"Lacking somewhat in template data flows."
"Can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
