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.

Automates manual activities and has helpful documentation that allows users to self-study
What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The workflow in Logic Apps enables integrating multiple applications."
"The solution is very easy for new users because it includes very good documentation and transparency."
"One special aspect of Azure Logic Apps is its easy integration of various applications, especially when connectors are already available. For instance, there are connectors for database applications and systems like SAP. You can drag and drop the connectors to complete your integration quickly."
"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."
"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 integration with Active Directory and detailed execution tracking for debugging are the most valuable features."
"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's most valuable feature is the no-code/low-code feature."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"It is a stable solution."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
 

Cons

"There could be more AI features included in the product."
"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could have more customization options for connectors."
"It can be a bit challenging to use."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps can improve by continually updating the connectors to make them better."
"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 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."

"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 would rate the pricing a six out of ten"
"The tool’s pricing could be better."
"Its price depends on the number of transactions, storage capacity, etc., defining if the subscription will be monthly or weekly."
"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 is quite cheap."
"The product is not cheap. I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"It is a cost-efficient platform."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"I used the free trial."
"The pricing is okay."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
