title: Does Azure provide a service like pubnub and pusher?
body: <p>I'd like to know if Azure has a service similar to pubnub and pusher. I know I can use SignalR to provide real-time communication between the back and front end and <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/notification-hubs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Notification Hub</a> to push to apps, but I'd like a more comprehensive solution like pubnub/pusher. For instance, <a href="https://www.pubnub.com/docs#all-sdks-home" rel="nofollow noreferrer">pubnub has clients for mobile AND web apps</a>. </p>
  
  <p>Could anyone shed some light here? </p>
  
  <p>In case it helps, here's my setup:</p>

  <p>So I have a server that notifies the iOS and Android apps, as well as the web app. Currently I'm using PushSharp to send push notifications to the apps and SignalR to send messages to the web app. I also use SignalR on my mobile apps. </p>
  
  <p>Even though it's working I'd like a complete solution like pubnub. So does Azure provide such a service?</p>
