Pros
"Enables me to use the same web technology to develop cross-platform native apps. The cloud-based one-click app build system is a valuable feature as well."

More Axway Appcelerator Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the ability to scale the application.""The stability of Microsoft Azure App Service is good.""The most beneficial aspect of Microsoft Azure App Service is its automated DevOps deployment, which includes configurations that ensure secure connections to key vault and database resources.""The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good.""It allows you to host your App Service on Azure and provides the ability to bypass online.""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.""It is the best because it's easy to use, and there's a plan for every type of workload.""The solution is very simple to set up."

Cons
"Scalability is not so good if you have a complex UX.""It would be awesome if they would work on improving the speed of the app building process."

More Axway Appcelerator Cons →

"App Service sometimes becomes very slow to respond, and it can be difficult to find the issue causing this.""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.""I would like to see some significant improvement in the technical support provision for this solution.""Can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide.""The setup is complex if you have no experience.""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.""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.""Microsoft Azure App Service has a lot of complexity because there are a lot of options and functionality. It is simple to become confused, there are many technical elements to learn before you can utilize the solution. If they could make the solution easier to use it would be a benefit."
