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…

Pros

"It's very easy to use, and it's blazing fast. The best thing about Logic Apps is actually its ability to create a solution in a matter of hours. It doesn't need any kind of provisioning, and you don't need any kind of hardware. You can create very small elements like these Logic Apps, and you can build a whole solution from those very simple and small elements. I also like that they are completely incorporated with your existing active directory. You can use user groups directly from the active directory inside Azure and access it from the Logic Apps. You don't need to do anything special, and you just have access. You can just check if the user is, for example, allowed to do some action. Normally it would take you some additional steps and some additional calls to check it. You have to come back to the active directory to make this possible. In Logic Apps, you just have it, and you can use it. I think that there's this concept of logging and recall to the Logic App. It shows you every single step, every single product, and the result it's returning to the next step. It also has an amazing debugging feature. You can rerun some calls and see if, after a correction of the Logic App, for example, you get the correct results. So, it's almost like it's alive. It's like you make a change, poof it, and it's in production, and it's working. The speed of the composition of the problem and creating a real solution for it is extremely fast with this solution. It's extremely fast in creation."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the no-code/low-code feature."

"The solution's best feature is that it is compatible with the cloud and has many connectors and third-party adapters."

"The solution has plenty of good valuable features and a plethora of services."

"Azure Logic Apps has influenced cost savings by approximately seventy to eighty percent in many cases and is generally 30% to 40% cheaper than any comparable services in this space."

"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."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."

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

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pros

"SAP is an excellent company with an excellent reputation, excellent products, and dedicated customer support."

"The maintenance part can be outsourced easily."

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

"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."

"The solution is scalable."

"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."

Cons

"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."

"There could be custom code for the product's components."

"The main issue is performance, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. Performance-wise, that's the only thing Microsoft should focus on."

"It would be helpful if the vendor could provide more data connectors."

"The product should integrate more APIs"

"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's for a limited kind of application or short Apps. And, not for the complex applications."

"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps cons

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

"One crucial aspect where SAP lags behind in flexibility is customization to suit specific business requirements. SAP needs to understand that customization is inevitable and should be more supportive of business-driven customization."

"The solution's document management system on the cloud is a bit slow, and document uploading takes time."

"I want to see better pricing from the SAP Cloud Platform in the future. I also want more security and scalability from it."

"We need to connect our ERP solution via the VPN. We need to make sure our ERP solutions aren't exposed to the outside world. Our teams really struggle with this."

"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."

"I would like for it to have integration to GitHub."

"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."

"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."

"Its price depends on the number of transactions, storage capacity, etc., defining if the subscription will be monthly or weekly."

"The licensing is cheaper because, compared to other services, Azure services are much cheaper and affordable."

"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."

"The product pricing aligns well with the value and capabilities offered by Azure services."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."

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

"SAP Cloud Platform is an expensive solution."

"SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."

"Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."

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