Flowgear vs Microsoft Azure Logic Apps comparison

"The Flowgear tool is helping us reduce the manual work that is done."

"The no-code visual front end, along with pre-built samples, allows someone with very little technical ability to get an integration up and running."

"It has improved our integration with our data supplier."

"Being able to seamlessly make changes to how one can do mapping visually without having to be a seasoned developer is great."

"Well-managed version control of workflows and the simplicity in promoting workflows through each environment has aided my team in developing workflows for various environments without the risk of losing development work."

"Great for data flow."

"The solution has increased efficiency and productivity and saved us time and money."

"Azure Logic Apps has influenced cost savings by approximately seventy to eighty percent in many cases and is generally 30% to 40% cheaper than any comparable services in this space."

"Easy to use and is able to integrate with other Azure-based environments."

"The biggest advantage of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is the workflow automation; workflow automation and no-code, low-code development are its key benefits."

"It's very easy to use, and it's blazing fast. The best thing about Logic Apps is actually its ability to create a solution in a matter of hours. It doesn't need any kind of provisioning, and you don't need any kind of hardware. You can create very small elements like these Logic Apps, and you can build a whole solution from those very simple and small elements. I also like that they are completely incorporated with your existing active directory. You can use user groups directly from the active directory inside Azure and access it from the Logic Apps. You don't need to do anything special, and you just have access. You can just check if the user is, for example, allowed to do some action. Normally it would take you some additional steps and some additional calls to check it. You have to come back to the active directory to make this possible. In Logic Apps, you just have it, and you can use it. I think that there's this concept of logging and recall to the Logic App. It shows you every single step, every single product, and the result it's returning to the next step. It also has an amazing debugging feature. You can rerun some calls and see if, after a correction of the Logic App, for example, you get the correct results. So, it's almost like it's alive. It's like you make a change, poof it, and it's in production, and it's working. The speed of the composition of the problem and creating a real solution for it is extremely fast with this solution. It's extremely fast in creation."

"I am impressed with the tool's UI and analytics."

"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps are the triggering based on certain events. You can trigger a Logic App and put your logic behind it and take certain actions. The actions could be anything based on the business logic. For example, if you say something happens, an order comes in, and the order can sit in one of the Azure services. Whenever an order comes in, the Logic App can go look and trigger an event. You can write your logic inside your Logic App and it works similar to a workflow."

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

"We would like to see more learning videos for beginners."

"The product needs to improve the self-help tools and samples."

"The software itself needs to keep up with the daily demand to service all clients as the need arises."

"The product would be nice if it could provide the deployment features in the lower packages."

"Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required."

"The UI could be improved."

"The initial setup was a bit complex as we were new."

"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."

"Especially when using a function or a parameter, that could be easier as that's not very well-documented, and it's not very clear from the tool itself how to use it."

"An area for improvement for Azure Logic Apps could be enhancing its ability to handle large datasets. When dealing with extensive data, we often have to use Azure Data Factory, which is mostly limited to scheduled jobs."

"My experience with their pricing indicates that pricing is complicated to understand and costly. There should be some cost reduction."

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

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

"The pricing could be improved."

"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 ."

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

"It is a cost-efficient platform."

"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."

"The tool’s pricing could be better."

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

"The tool's cost can vary depending on your specific use case. Generally, it's considered cheaper, but the price depends on how much you use it and which features you need. Initially, there was a consumption-based pricing model, but now Microsoft offers a standard tier. Microsoft encourages users to migrate from the consumption model to the standard one by 2025. The pricing is a monthly fixed cost, depending on your usage needs."

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

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