Exceptional drag-and-drop integration module
It would be great to have more assistance and credit services for additional features. For instance, virtual class initials are available but not for backend processing moves. Making that more visible, like other Azure products, would be helpful. Moreover, the documentation is good, but it could be improved. It is changing every day, and I sometimes find that it's not updated enough or some code levels are not included.
Sravan KumarKolloju - PeerSpot reviewer
Ensures that applications run reliably on a cloud environment and support chaining multiple applications together
In Logic Apps, it supports AJAX and jQuery as commands to filter out to input the parameter. But regular expressions in general aren't supported well. So, I recommend that Logic Apps could be enhanced by supporting regular expressions (RegEx) more comprehensively . That would be a great improvement. RegEx expressions are useful when running an EXE, and you must provide parameters, like running it for June 2024. You need to feed some information to Logic Apps. I want to tell the program to take the current month and year. For that, you need to use date functions. Using regular expressions in general is also possible by manipulating strings, which is currently missing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."
"The prebuilt connectors available for SAP are really useful."
"The product's initial setup phase is something that I don't think is complex because once we start using it, it becomes simple."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is the many available connectors that make automation easy. Additionally, the security of the solution is good."
"If there's something that isn't possible, you can write some code and call that code from a Logic App."
"Logic Apps is good for helping us run our access on a cloud environment like Azure. It's much easier, more reliable, and better to maintain."
"The product’s most valuable feature is integration."
 

Cons

"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"Documentation could be improved."
"A room for improvement in Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is that it's expensive. Every step is going to cost you money, so if someone is not doing the steps carefully, at the end of the day, it will cost a lot of money. Each time you execute a step, the cost will depend on how much you use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, and how many workflow steps you have. Each time a step needs to be executed, there'll be a cost added to your bill. If the developer isn't careful with how he uses the solution, this can blow up the cost. What I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is for the cost and security to be better."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The main issue is performance, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. Performance-wise, that's the only thing Microsoft should focus on."
"An area for improvement for Azure Logic Apps could be enhancing its ability to handle large datasets. When dealing with extensive data, we often have to use Azure Data Factory, which is mostly limited to scheduled jobs."
"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"The support I have received is mixed because in some cases they are accurate, and in others, it was me doing the groundwork and giving feedback for the agent to finally tell me there is an issue in their larger services."
"The OpenAI components in Logic Apps could be more understandable."
"The visual tool that is used to build integration is quite old."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"Its price depends on the number of transactions, storage capacity, etc., defining if the subscription will be monthly or weekly."
"It's a bit costly at the end of the day. It's difficult to calculate pricing, and that affects the business. That's one challenge."
"It is a cost-efficient platform."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten"
"The tool's cost can vary depending on your specific use case. Generally, it's considered cheaper, but the price depends on how much you use it and which features you need. Initially, there was a consumption-based pricing model, but now Microsoft offers a standard tier. Microsoft encourages users to migrate from the consumption model to the standard one by 2025. The pricing is a monthly fixed cost, depending on your usage needs."
"The product is quite cheap."
"It's very cheap, but it comes with pluses and minuses. The positive thing is that it's very cheap, but on the other hand, it's extremely hard to tell how much it will cost. At the start of the project, it's almost impossible to tell how many times you will be calling some kind of Logic App function. You cannot state how much of the internet transfer you will use or how much data your will use."
"The product pricing aligns well with the value and capabilities offered by Azure services."
