We chose this product because it has several plans, including consumption plans. My company will not have to worry about maintaining server systems. Hence, we only have to perform a daily routine after deploying and maintaining the service. Our company handed these tasks to Azure. Microsoft Azure takes care of our content application, including when to turn it off. We pay for these services, which saves us the pain of managing them. This is very important when using Microsoft Azure.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing Microsoft Azure App Service.

Before choosing Microsoft Azure App Service, we evaluated AWS. Ultimately, we decided to go with Microsoft Azure App Service because it natively works much better with dot net applications than AWS. Not that AWS does it badly, but Microsoft Azure App Service is much more up-to-date.

I did compare this solution with Amazon AWS and Amazon and Amazon EC2. They are all comparable solutions. What stands out the most in Microsoft Azure App Service is the speed. Selecting the best solution will also depend on the use case.

We may have looked at other options as well. We did also look into Office 365. 

We chose this solution because we support Microsoft Azure.

We didn't try many other options because we already had an Azure subscription. So it was a very easy decision to make and we didn't explore other options. Our version is a little bit outdated, so we plan on upgrading soon. The next version has all the functionality we are looking for. Our main concern is speed, and that is one of the features we like about Azure.
