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.

Easy-to-use product with the ability to generate code efficiently
Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently. This feature streamlines the integration process, saving developers time and effort. Additionally, the stability of the generated code is noteworthy, as it ensures reliability over time. Despite not always producing the most aesthetically pleasing code, it eliminates critical errors, reducing the burden on developers. This stability is particularly crucial in complex integration scenarios, where errors can have significant consequences.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Connectors are very useful for streamlining data integration tasks."
"The tool’s biggest benefit is the access we have to other Azure products."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."
"The product’s most valuable feature is integration."
"Logic Apps is valuable because my team uses it for integrating SaaS tool sets."
"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."
"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."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
"I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is good for certain types of workloads, but it doesn't offer many customization options."
"It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services."
"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could have more customization options for connectors."
"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."
"We wanted to use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, but we faced a timeout."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps can improve by continually updating the connectors to make them better."
"Standard documents are fine, but in certain situations, when facing specific errors or issues, partners or consumers expect customized solutions rather than just links to existing documents."
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The licensing is cheaper because, compared to other services, Azure services are much cheaper and affordable."
"The price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is inexpensive."
"I rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps's pricing a seven out of ten."
"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 not cheap. I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
