Featured Reviews

Ritu-Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Influenced cost savings by approximately seventy to eighty percent
I have worked on multiple platforms in this space, like MuleSoft, Oracle, Intel, Microsoft, and Dell Boomi. However, Azure Logic Apps is the easiest and most transparent in terms of its operations, licensing cost, and scaling. Being in Azure, the use of the Azure ecosystem becomes quite native with Logic Apps.
Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its integration capabilities are great, allowing connectivity with various applications and services."
"We can write external features and transfer the data using JPIMs securely which has been most valuable."
"Logic Apps helped reduce complexity or development time. For example, if we get documents in the form of images, we can use Logic Apps to extract information from those images. This simplifies our efforts compared to originally using Microsoft APIs to do the same task."
"The prebuilt connectors available for SAP are really useful."
"We mainly used it to integrate SAP, ServiceNow, and different third-party APIs with the front end."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."
"Easy to use and is able to integrate with other Azure-based environments."
"The solution's best feature is that it is compatible with the cloud and has many connectors and third-party adapters."
"The most valuable features of the Mule Anypoint Platform are the Flex Gateway, API management, easy-to-use, and connectors. Additionally, they are coming out with improvements to the solution when required."
"The tool helps with order management and automates the enterprise's orchestration, invoice creation, product maintenance, and product life cycle. The API manager feature helps us configure, secure, and call APIs."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
 

Cons

"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."
"It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services."
"We wanted to use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, but we faced a timeout."
"The documentation could be better. I think that's the only thing that was causing a normal level of problems. In terms of the documentation, it came from Cosmos DB and an additional product from Microsoft Azure."
"It can be a bit challenging to use."
"In Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, we use Liquid templates, and I feel it can be improved as it does not support all the features that our company wants to use during any complex mapping when we might have to go for custom coding."
"It would be helpful if the vendor could provide more data connectors."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."
"The compatibility with vendors can be improved. Microsoft Azure heavily uses single software."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."
"The licensing is cheaper because, compared to other services, Azure services are much cheaper and affordable."
"If we are comparing to other public cloud vendors, such as Amazon or Google Cloud platform, I wouldn't say that it's expensive. However, when we're comparing between a host such as GoDaddy or Digital Ocean, then it's a bit on the expensive side."
"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."
"The tool’s pricing could be better."
"I rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is a little bit expensive, and that is why you use it only for certain types of scenarios."
"Compared to the prices of Mulesoft, the price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is low."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"
"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"The solution has a high price."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
