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.

The implementation cycle has been reduced significantly but has room for integration enhancements

Our existing customers who are on ECC are on-premises. They are migrating to SAP Cloud Platform, specifically on S4HANA. One of our clients was on SAP ECC on-premises, and they are moving to the cloud on S4HANA on the public cloud system. We are supporting about 15 customers, mostly small to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is that you can run a workflow or do a high-level process orchestration, then you can call the other function and fulfill the process. For example, if you want to update a customer, you first need to get the customer's phone number and simulate the steps of the process, then Microsoft Azure Logic Apps can orchestrate that process."

"I am impressed with the tool's UI and analytics."

"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 most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps are the triggering based on certain events. You can trigger a Logic App and put your logic behind it and take certain actions. The actions could be anything based on the business logic. For example, if you say something happens, an order comes in, and the order can sit in one of the Azure services. Whenever an order comes in, the Logic App can go look and trigger an event. You can write your logic inside your Logic App and it works similar to a workflow."

"If we are working with a service-oriented architecture, as an architect as a baseline, it supports us very well in terms of expandability, and the kind of robustness it brings, especially with its serverless nature is fabulous."

"The solution is very easy for new users because it includes very good documentation and transparency."

"Its integration capabilities are great, allowing connectivity with various applications and services."

"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pros

"I found flexibility most valuable in the SAP Cloud Platform. It's a simple tool that's good even for first-time users."

"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."

"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."

"The tool's most valuable aspects are the niche technologies and the latest editions. The way these updates are rolled out makes it easy to manage because clients and customers are not responsible for keeping everything up to date. It's SAP's responsibility, which makes it much easier to take advantage of the new features they roll out every month."

"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system."

"It’s easy to maintain, as everything is handled by SAP."

"The platform is extremely scalable."

"The solution can scale."

More SAP Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"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."

"The product needs improvement in getting direct access to the code and versioning."

"I find the current interface useful, but I could see how others would want the UI bits that are used for creating Logic Apps to be simplified."

"The product should integrate more APIs"

"The standard logic app could be simplified. Thats what we would like to see in the next release."

"The OpenAI components in Logic Apps could be more understandable."

"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps cons

"I can’t speak to features that may be missing."

"I've observed a few bugs in SAP. One recent bug I found in Content Modifier is that when using a predefined header to call the current date, it prints the previous date. These are small bugs I found."

"The tool's UI is not very intuitive for cloud integration, so it needs research to understand its options and how it may work."

"The product needs improvement for serverless native integrations. They should opt for serverless features as all the customers worldwide choose cloud-based products."

"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."

"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."

"It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates."

"The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."

More SAP Cloud Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Compared to the prices of Mulesoft, the price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is low."

"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."

"I rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The tool’s pricing could be better."

"The price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is inexpensive."

"Logic Apps is cheap with its pay-as-you-go model. We only pay for usage time, no license fees. So Logic Apps is good in that aspect."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution depends on the package that is purchased. There are many packages to choose from. The packages are not overly expensive."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a six or seven."

"SAP Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."

"Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."

"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."

"I discovered that the SAP Cloud Platform is affordable, contrary to the impression that it's expensive. The pricing for extra packages or messages is quite reasonable, especially for things like message throughput and processing."
