Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Reviews

What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is that you can run a workflow or do a high-level process orchestration, then you can call the other function and fulfill the process. For example, if you want to update a customer, you first need to get the customer's phone number and simulate the steps of the process, then Microsoft Azure Logic Apps can orchestrate that process.

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.

My experience with Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is four years.

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is a stable solution, specifically for process orchestration. From this perspective, its performance is fine.

The support from Microsoft is very good, though my team didn't contact Microsoft specifically about Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, but about other solutions.

The initial setup for Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is easy, and this is why people use it. The turnaround time to set the solution up is short, and the time to get up to speed on how to use it is short.

Though the learning curve for Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is short, you have to keep in mind that you could create an app that costs a lot of money, so you need to be very careful and have a good understanding of what it is before creating it. Otherwise, you could blow up the cost.

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

I evaluated AWS Step Functions.

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is a PaaS application, and as it's in the cloud, there's no concept of versions. In the conventional world, you have a version 9, 10, or 11, for example, but in the cloud, it is a PaaS, and you're using that PaaS.

Between seven to eight developers write the code for Microsoft Azure Logic Apps in my company, but these developers come and go, depending on the project.

My advice to anyone who wants to use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is to go with AWS Step Functions, for the cost and the security. It's also much easier to implement AWS Step Functions compared to Microsoft Azure Logic Apps. AWS Step Functions costs less when compared to Microsoft Azure Logic Apps.

My rating for Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is seven out of ten. If anyone wants to use it, then no problem.

My company is a Microsoft customer.

We use the product for integration between on-premise and cloud products.

The product’s most valuable feature is integration.

There could be more AI features included in the product.

We have been using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps for three years.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.

I rate the platform’s scalability a ten out of ten.

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps’s premium support services are excellent.

Positive

The initial setup is easy. I rate the process a ten out of ten. We have a deployment team consisting of four executives. It takes a few hours to complete the process.

The product generates around 10% ROI for us.

It is a cost-efficient platform.

It is an excellent and efficient product. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Our use case of Azure Logic Apps is for the integration of data coming from different sources to the manager. We are Microsoft partners and I'm the company director. 

I like the connectivity, that it's easy to use and has the capabilities to be able to integrate with other Azure-based environments.

I'd like to see more connectors available as well as a more advanced development environment.

I've been using this solution for two years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

We are a Microsoft partner so we have good support although we haven't used it for this product. 

The initial setup is relatively straightforward and takes a couple of hours. As a consultancy company providing this product to our customers, we carried out our own in-house deployment. We're currently implementing this solution for six of our customers. The deployment requires an architect and one or two others. 

Licensing costs are paid monthly or annually and I believe they are reasonable. The cost is dependent on the connectors. 

I recommend this solution and rate it eight out of 10. 

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

Integrating the process with Azure AD is significantly complex, especially when deploying ARM templates and multi-factor authentication (MFA) is involved. This particular area needs improvement.

Additionally, enhancing scalability features, such as implementing queuing mechanisms for high-concurrency scenarios, would greatly improve its utility.

I've been using Azure Logic Apps for over four years.

The product is stable. I rate the stability a nine. 

The platform scalability is quite low, around five out of ten. It struggles under heavy loads without proper queuing mechanisms, leading to performance issues and errors.

It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to automate simple processes efficiently. However, due to integration limitations, larger enterprises should carefully consider their use based on specific use cases.

Microsoft's technical support varies significantly based on the size and partnership level of the enterprise. Larger enterprises receive better support compared to smaller or medium-sized businesses.

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

I rate the platform a seven out of ten. 

We use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps for building an insurance product. We integrate multiple solutions using it.

The product has efficient connectors.

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could have more customization options for connectors.

We have been using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps for nine months.

I rate the product's stability a ten out of ten.

We have more than 50 Microsoft Azure Logic Apps users in our organization. I rate its scalability an eight.

The technical support team's response time could be faster.

Positive

We are using MuleSoft. The connectors need improvement. Also, its deployment process is lengthy for building applications compared to Logic Apps.

The initial setup is straightforward. I rate the process a nine out of ten. It takes around 25 to 30 minutes to complete. It requires four executives for implementation.

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

I rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps a nine out of ten. It works well for deployment and building connectors. It allows us to connect interfaces of two different platforms easily in a graphical way rather than using coding.

We use the solution to integrate other systems like SAP and Salesforce for orchestration and the API. We also use it to automate business processing and balancing workflows.

The solution integrates customer CRM data with various systems. It offers a user-friendly interface, making integration tasks straightforward and efficient.

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

The pricing could be improved.

I have been using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps for five to ten years.

The product is very stable.

The solution is scalable.

The technical support is good. Documentation is also very good.

The initial setup is straightforward. Also, the learning curve is easy.

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps has a straightforward nature. The process is much simpler. This design is designed for seamless integration, making Logic Apps the preferred choice.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The use case depends on the situation. 

We primarily use this solution to schedule time-based event triggers.

Sometimes, we use it for the simple starting of machines or automating the start of certain machines. It can be set up on a timer or some sort of time-based event trigger that we need to schedule, and the trigger is set up for certain logic.

I like the ability within Logic Apps to design the workbooks through the portal with minimal code.

I would like the ability to add more features or to become more of a designer first or to be a declarative type of environment. 

Doing more with Logic Apps through the portal with less code or less script being written would be ideal.

It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services.

I have been dealing with Microsoft Azure Logic Apps for two years.

It's a very stable solution. We don't face many issues. It is very rare to have issues with the other platforms themselves.

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is very scalable. It's extremely scalable.

My experience may be different, or not be common. I have had wonderful experiences with the technical support team recently. I am very happy. I may be one of the few that is a very happy customer in that area.

I have used Microsoft Azure File Storage, Web Apps, compute for virtual machines, and networking components. I have not used Azure search recently.

I have also used Firewall Manager, recently, but I wouldn't say that I have a lot of hands-on experience.

The initial setup was very easy.

I completed the setup myself. It is what I do.

Pricing is relative.

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.

Definitely, I would recommend it. Make sure that what you need can be done through Logic apps and not other alternatives, or not with other functions, and not with any other alternative system. 

You need to do the research and learn about the limitations or know what Logic Apps is designed for to ensure that it fits the use case that they're trying to do.

This applies to all the services. At least properly plan or read about the service before going all-in and trying to have Logic Apps deliver something that's not meant to deliver.

In summary, this is a good product but tThere is always room for improvement.

I would rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for data extraction and transformation.

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

Azure is comprehensive which can meet business strategy standards.

The solution is not user friendly. In the beginning, the solution is easy to use and works fine but when you are doing more advanced tasks it then becomes more difficult.

I have been using the solution for two years.

I've dealt with customer service in four or five scenarios. 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. This should have been explained to me at the beginning of the conversation and not left to the end.

The installation is not straightforward. I would say it is hard to generalize the complexity. In some solutions you are able to extract and do minor transformations. There are other cases where it takes a lot of time to achieve something that could take a couple of weeks to a month, to go from requirements to design, development, and proper job strategy.

The licensing structure is not complex.

The cost of the solution could be cheaper. For example, if you're doing a cost savings of $30,000 per year, but you are implementing a service, which is going to cost close to that range, then there might be better options. What is the point in implementing a solution which is going to costs you that much? I would rather invest in something that is going to give a broader gain.

I don't recall which version I am using for the solution because it is based on what the latest version Azure has released at the time.

We are actively trying to move all our solutions to ones in the cloud because of the cost of increasing infrastructure and it is also hard to maintain an in-house data center. 

I think Power Apps should be as user-friendly as possible, to allow more business-oriented people to utilize such things for their self-services needs rather than depending on IT resources.

I rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps a six out of ten.
