Comparison Results: PowerApps is the winner in this comparison. According to its reviewers, it is flexible and easy to use. In addition, it has a proven 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."
"App Service's best features are that it can be scaled easily and it includes Kudu."
"The primary and standout feature is ease of deployment."
"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's a platform as a service, so we don't have to manage the infrastructure to hold the websites."
"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's very easy to use. That's one of the advantages for the business, that you don't need to struggle to configure your website and your app service. Microsoft made sure to make it stable and very easy to configure."
"The flows are good because they can be used in a variety of situations."
"The solution becomes easier the set up once you get used to it."
"It’s a stable product."
"In Microsoft PowerApps the most valuable features are the fully customizable design that we can control everything that we would like to control. For example, the integration between Microsoft and third-party services through pre-built connectors, and the functionality to create custom connectors."
"The support is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft PowerApps is the user interface."
"As a business person, I design a lot of screens. The solution really resonates with me. Their design is amazing."
"The solution is easy to use and map."
"From an IoT use case perspective, we're all good, however, we should have additional plugins."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration with on-premise solutions."
"The solution is quite expensive. If you need more features, you need to pay for them."
"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."
"Can be improved by increasing the number of data centres worldwide."
"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."
"Sometimes we face problems, but those are technical problems in Microsoft, bugs or something doesn't work as expected, but that's normal."
"There are no issues with the solution."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"We're not in production yet, so we're still working through some issues."
"We would like to see the period for viewing executions within this solution to be extended beyond its current limit of 28 days. We would prefer to be able to offer our customers an infinite amount of history to search."
"Most of my training for what I do has been by watching or learning in the community. There needs to be better training on either one of these."
"I have heard from developers that there is documentation missing in the reporting."
"If the price was reduced and the quality of the user interfaces was improved it would be beneficial."
"The pricing structure needs to be improved, the current information is confusing."
"The solution could improve by having more connectors for different solutions in a way to create custom connectors. Additionally, they should make HTTP Connectors free again because it was not always a premium feature. These HTTP connectors allow you to send API requests which can be important."
