Great product, easy to use, careful use of autoscaling
We use Azure Web Apps for our Front End and some big data processing needs: for the monolith and some microservices. Also we host APIs over them. Web Apps offer an easy to use platform for creating and modifying our code in a seamless way across different stages of our data ingestion-processing-and offering for the customers.
- Extremely easy to deploy and update from Visual Studio
- It integrates seamlessly with other Azure PaaS resources
- It has an in-depth integration with AppInsights, so you can understand errors and their root cause easily.
- Easy to create and delete, what is not the same case in a IaaS resource
- It escalates based on CPU workload and some other resource variables.
- Configuration changes are almost immediate
- Offers an excellent abstraction from hardware backend of the platform
- That's updated very often, saving time and the risk of a self-performed update over a IaaS
- That's really easy to develop for Web Apps
- It supports Function Apps and Web Apps into the same "cost black box"
- Irrationally expensive
- High latency and poor response times in heavy workloads
- Some updates lead to failures and crashes of hosted apps
- Tech support starts defending Microsoft rather than helping you to get rid of a production failure
- That's easy to have a peak cost with automatic resources escalation.
- Lacks of spent money limits for escalation
- Unnecessary deprecation of runtimes that makes the platform less interesting for complex applications that can't be updated periodically
- Every single minor feature that's an spending. For example, a basic firewall.

Easy and simple platform to deploy the web apps
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We used it to teach the students who bought the course how to use the web app and where to use. We helped them to deploy the projects on Azure. Also we helped them to get the student packs and Azure credits so it may be helpful for them to deploy their projects without the need of credit cards!
- Very simple and easy development process
- Azure provide the built-in security for the web apps
- The application can handle the high traffics
- The Azure is providing little less amount of data centers, so they can increase the data centers.
- Customized development; Azure needs to provide some more options to customize
- Some of the essential things about the viewers and logs must be provided. Currently I feel they are putting limit on monitoring.
The ASP NET Core apps were deployed using Azure App Service. Multiple programs were installed and utilized by the entire company. Having the ability to launch our apps directly from Visual Studio was a huge time-saver. The Azure site or the Azure command-line interface allowed us to make the necessary adjustments.
- Visual Studio makes it an easy to deploy an app.
- The Azure CLI and the Azure Portal are the two most convenient ways to interact with the cloud.
- There's no need to worry about server upkeep. We could simply increase our capacity by changing a few gateway settings.
- Like Heroku's dynos, abstraction of computing resources.
- The total size of the Azure Portal has a negative impact on the management of Azure App Service apps.
- The cost of making large transitions in the size of a resource is high.

scalable and secured cloud Apps within Azure
We use Azure App Service for our full cloud-based website's new version. We use it to deploy both production and QA versions of the site, so that we don't have to manage website infrastructure, including on-premise web servers and security equipment. We use it alongside other Azure services, including storage, CDN, DB...
- scalability works very well
- integration with other Azure services
- highly secured
- the learning curve can be tough (just like other azure services)
- the UX/UI could be more intuitive (just like other azure services as well)
- monitoring can be hard to understand
- Microsoft's learning resources are hard to understand

Azure - More Money, But Better Service
I used it to host our organization website, which is written by PHP. As the website is our main product, it plays very important role in our company. We used Azure's app engine for several months, mostly for our testing purpose. But we never rolled out our production to Azure because of some issues.
- Auto scaling
- Good management dashboard
- Fast setups
- Learning curve
- Web Interface
- A mobile app

Azure serves well in long-term!
Azure App is being used to host our .NET applications. Runtime stack for these are .NET 2.1. Azure has good support for .NET applications. So we prefer using Azure for .NET.
It is integrated will with Azure DevOps. So we use piplelines to deploy code.
It is integrated will with Azure DevOps. So we use piplelines to deploy code.
- It has options to deploy using CI/CD.
- It has great integration with Azure Devops
- It has all the common runtimes, so we don't need to install softwares.
- Some times our .NET API Service crashes and it is hard to find the root cause.
- Quick Links to frequently used pages will help
- PHP 8 is not supported yet.
We use Azure App Service to build full-fledged custom web-based software solutions for small and medium-sized businesses in a variety of markets. The Azure App Service coupled with .NET, Entity Framework, and other Azure features (storage, tables, etc.) make it easy to quickly build fully-functional apps, and we're able to do so so much quicker than when we were using the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). Plus, we can scale resources with a click instead of needing to migrate to different servers and manually handle load balance, etc.
- Super quick & easy to deploy new apps in visual studio
- Easy scaling to help reduce costs during off-hours
- The powerful Azure ecosystem offers a lot of functionality that ties in well with Azure App Service
- Jumps between resource sizes can get expensive
- You may wind up putting a lot of eggs in one basket--not necessarily a con but something to keep in mind (most of your data will likely be managed and processed through Microsoft products/services if you fully commit to Azure App Service).
- Learning new technology. If you're moving from on-premises to Azure App Service (or any cloud solutions), you'll likely have to rethink how things are done to achieve the same end results (and/or resources may become expensive quickly).

Azure App Service, a great platform - yet a bit complex interface
During my time at the company, Azure App Service was used to deploy ASP NET Core applications. It was used throughout the whole organization and we had multiple applications deployed there. It was pretty useful since we could deploy our applications directly from Visual studio, never leaving our code editor environment. We could modify the settings from the Azure portal or with the Azure command-line interface.
- Simple app deployment from Visual Studio.
- Easy interfaces: Azure CLI and Azure Portal.
- No server maintenance. We could scale easily by just modifying some settings in the portal.
- Abstraction of computing resources like Heroku does with dynos.
- Azure Portal overall is pretty bloated and that affects managing Azure App Service applications.
