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."The technical support from Microsoft Azure App Service is good."
"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."
"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."
"Azure data factory is a good tool."
"Overall, all of the features are very good."
"I like that it's a ready-to-use, out-of-the-box solution that provides all of the necessary functions for customers, such as codes that can be quickly switched from the production version, or from test and DEV versions to production."
"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 the Xamarin Platform is the deployment."
"We very much like the XAML design techniques, multiple layout and pages, MVVMCross support, and portability across different platforms."
"Being able to use the .NET framework and platform have me creating applications better than anyone who develops on Windows."
"The cross platform ability is a great asset."
"It has significantly reduced the skill barrier for development and testers."
"We were able to optimize the service organization for one of our clients."
"It brings about good code sharing strategies, which bring down cost and maintenance efforts."
"Xamarin.Forms reduced the effort and time to build and market our solution, market our features, and get our solution into production."
"The logging and monitoring could improve in Microsoft Azure App Service."
"When trying to scale up, it has a limitation, specifically an upper limitation. In general, scalability should be improved."
"The solution is somewhat expensive."
"I would like to see faster adoption and templates that we can use."
"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."
"The solution needs better integration capabilities on the network side."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration with on-premise solutions."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"Xamarin Platform lacks in app size."
"The monitoring of the remote devices is not good as it should be extended along. It would be useful if the log is more integrated with the central console. I am not sure it can be accessed but it would be better."
"Xamarin Platform can improve if there was a virtual test environment so we did not have to have a Mac system for the iOS testing. At this time You must have a Mac to deploy or generate IBA profiles."
"They need to improve performance, especially for the Android platform. Also, some controls are missing in the Xamarin framework when compared to native controls; for example, the checkbox control."
"I feel that the Android AppCompat library creates a lot of issues. A lot of development time is often wasted solving these issues."
"The solution struggles a little bit with binding libraries."
"The worst build issue concerns are the caching process MSBuild uses to reduce the build time."
"The solution always has room for improvement with price, integration, stability, and documentation."
