"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"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 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 feature of Microsoft Azure App Service is autoscaling and resource grouping. Additionally, the integration works well, it is easy to do."
"The product is scalable."
"HCL Domino could have a better interface."
"When you compare with Microsoft Exchange, the UI could be more user-friendly."
"The solution is expensive."
"HCL Domino needs to be more user-friendly."

"The solution could improve Kubernetes or Dockers migration to new environments in the cloud."
"For me, the one thing missing is a really good reporting engine."
"An area for improvement in HCL Domino is security. New enhancements in the IT industry mean that security should be improved. The HCL Domino GUI also needs improvement."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"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."
"The cost management of this solution could be better. We only receive estimations."
"I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution."
"The pricing is average. It could be lower."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration and connectivity with other platforms. The solution has good integration with other large companies' solutions but there are smaller service platforms companies where there could be integrated better."
"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this."
"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."
