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.

Can function as an ESB along with the core product, with decent integration of message protocols

I have noticed that webMethods ActiveTransfer has had problems when handling large files. For example, when we receive (and perform operations on) files that are larger than about 16 MB, the software starts losing performance. This is why, for most customers who have to deal with big files, I suggest that they use a product other than ActiveTransfer. I would like to note that this problem mainly concerns large files that undergo extra operations, such assigning, unassigning, or file translation. When these operations take place on large files, ActiveTransfer will use up a lot of resources. Within the product itself, I also believe that there is room for improvement in terms of optimization when it comes to general performance. I suspect that the issues underlying poor optimization are because it is all developed in Java. That is, all the objects and functions that are used need to be better organized, especially when it comes to big files but also overall. webMethods ActiveTransfer was born as an ESB to handle messages, and these messages were typically very short, i.e. small in size. A message is data that you have to send to an application, where it must be received in real-time and possibly processed or acknowledged elsewhere in the system as well. So, because it was initially designed for small messages, it struggles with performance when presented with very large files. All this to say, I suggest that they have an engineer reevaluate the architecture of the product in order to consider cases where large files are sent, and not only small ones. As for new features, compared to other products in the market, I think Software AG should be more up to date when it comes to extra protocol support, especially those protocols that other solutions have included in their products by default. Whenever we need to add an unsupported protocol, we have to go through the effort of custom development in order to work with it. Also, all the banks are obligated to migrate to the new standards, and big companies are all handling translations and operating their libraries with the new protocol formats. But webMethods ActiveTransfer doesn't seem to be keeping up with this evolution. Thus, they should aim to be more compliant in future, along the lines of their competitors such as IBM and Primeur.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can write external features and transfer the data using JPIMs securely which has been most valuable."

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

"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."

"The tool’s biggest benefit is the access we have to other Azure products."

"Its notable advantage is its user-friendly UI, which allows easy testing."

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

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

"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."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pros

"webMethods API Portal is overall very valuable. It is now a comprehensive API catalogue that serves various purposes, including API assessment and evaluation."

"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."

"The tool helps us to streamline data integration. Its BPM is very strong and powerful. The solution helps us manage digital transformation."

"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."

"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."

"High throughput and excellent scalability."

"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."

"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."

More webMethods.io pros

Cons

"An area of improvement I've encountered is related to the number of connectors available in Logic Apps. While there are many connectors, I found that the "send email" connector may not work as expected, and one has to rely on Office 365 plugins or other alternatives. This could enhance user experience, especially when considering the additional overhead and licensing requirements associated with Office 365. It also needs to improve security features."

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

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

"The solution could add an AI version to make it easier for people."

"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."

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

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

"A room for improvement in Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is that it's expensive. Every step is going to cost you money, so if someone is not doing the steps carefully, at the end of the day, it will cost a lot of money. Each time you execute a step, the cost will depend on how much you use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, and how many workflow steps you have. Each time a step needs to be executed, there'll be a cost added to your bill. If the developer isn't careful with how he uses the solution, this can blow up the cost. What I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is for the cost and security to be better."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps cons

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The on-premises setup can be difficult."

"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."

"Forced migration from MessageBroker to Universal Messaging requires large scale reimplementation for JMS."

"In terms of improvements, maybe on the API monetization side, having users able to create separate consumption plans and throttle all those consumption plans towards the run time could be better."

"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."

"I would like to see the price improve."

"The solution's release management feature could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The product is not cheap. I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."

"It is a cost-efficient platform."

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

"The cost of the solution could be cheaper."

"The product is quite cheap."

"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 pricing is okay. It's not highly priced. It's in the medium range."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pricing and cost advice

"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"The pricing is a yearly license."

"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."

"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."

"Its cost depends on the use cases."

"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."

"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
