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.

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services

Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The design is highly beneficial. It functions as a sandbox environment."

"Logic Apps is valuable because my team uses it for integrating SaaS tool sets."

"The product integration with Active Directory and detailed execution tracking for debugging are the most valuable features."

"It's quite similar to Power Optima, but I use it mainly to integrate with databases, and it works well for that purpose."

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

"It's easy to use, and it's stable."

"It is a very stable solution."

"The product’s most valuable feature is integration."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pros

"Best feature is Insight for monitoring, and as a debugging tool. It has saved us a lot of time during crisis situations."

"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."

"Some of the key features are the integration platform, query mechanism, message handling within the bus, and the rules engine. We've had a really good experience with webMethods Integration Server."

"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."

"A product with good API and EDI components."

"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."

"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."

"It frankly fills the gap between IT and business by having approval and policy enforcement on each state and cycle of the asset from the moment it gets created until it is retired."

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."

"There could be more AI features included in the product."

"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 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 visual tool that is used to build integration is quite old."

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

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps cons

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

"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."

"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."

"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."

"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."

"Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."

"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."

"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"It is a cost-efficient platform."

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

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

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten"

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

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pricing and cost advice

"With our current licensing, it's very easy for us to scale. With our older licensing model, it was very hard. This is definitely something that I would highlight."

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."

"The price is high and I give it a five out of ten."

"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."

"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."
