Featured Reviews

Ritu-Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Logic Apps helped reduce complexity or development time. For example, if we get documents in the form of images, we can use Logic Apps to extract information from those images. This simplifies our efforts compared to originally using Microsoft APIs to do the same task."
"I like the ability within Logic Apps to design the workbooks through the portal with minimal code."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the no-code/low-code feature."
"The workflow in Logic Apps enables integrating multiple applications."
"I am impressed with the tool's UI and analytics."
"We mainly used it to integrate SAP, ServiceNow, and different third-party APIs with the front end."
"Its integration capabilities are great, allowing connectivity with various applications and services."
"It's quite similar to Power Optima, but I use it mainly to integrate with databases, and it works well for that purpose."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."
"It has improved our organization a lot because of the increase in productivity, and it has simplified the development of products. MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is a highly effective tool where you can build integrations so effectively. If you establish the integration platform, it increases productivity. It helps us to do effective re-authentication, and it speeds the integration."
"The tool helps with order management and automates the enterprise's orchestration, invoice creation, product maintenance, and product life cycle. The API manager feature helps us configure, secure, and call APIs."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."
"The community manager is the standout feature of the Mule Anypoint Platform, as it provides a platform to showcase your API to external parties. It is exceptionally user-friendly and enables external parties to easily utilize and consume the APIs."
"The most valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
 

Cons

"The solution should include more connectors."
"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."
"Additionally, enhancing scalability features, such as implementing queuing mechanisms for high-concurrency scenarios, would greatly improve its utility."
"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."
"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."
"Not all connectors are readily available, though. There are two types: managed connectors and app connectors. Some connectors require you to provide a username and password to connect to platforms like SharePoint or Salesforce. Due to security constraints, some users may prefer not to use these connectors. Instead, they might opt for the HTTP connector."
"It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services."
"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"Lacks intelligent management data and intelligent mappings."
"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"Technical support needs to be improved, especially when you need help with more technical aspects of the solution."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"Pricing is one aspect of the solution that is troublesome. It's too expensive for smaller organizations."
 

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 product is not cheap. I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool’s pricing could be better."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."
"Its price depends on the number of transactions, storage capacity, etc., defining if the subscription will be monthly or weekly."
"I rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps's pricing a seven out of ten."
"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."
"The pricing is okay. It's not highly priced. It's in the medium range."
"The product is still very expensive."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."
"The solution has a high price."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."
