Scales well, easy to install, has minimal coding, and the technical support is good
Pros and Cons
  • "I like the ability within Logic Apps to design the workbooks through the portal with minimal code."
  • "It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and technical support?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very easy.

What about the implementation team?

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

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Comprehensive, plethora of features, but not user friendly and is expensive
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution has plenty of good valuable features and a plethora of services."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for data extraction and transformation.

What is most valuable?

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

Azure is comprehensive which can meet business strategy standards.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two years.

How are customer service and technical support?

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.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Stable product with efficient features for insights
Pros and Cons
  • "The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
  • "There could be custom code for the product's components."

What is our primary use case?

We send around 250 million messages annually to internal and external systems using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps.

What is most valuable?

The product's most valuable feature is scalability. We can easily scale it to high volumes and downscale it automatically. Another best feature is the ability to provide insights instantly whenever it fails at a particular stage. Additionally, it is easier to hand over for maintenance to the support team.

What needs improvement?

There could be custom code for the product's components. We should be able to create a customized solution tailored to specific needs. Currently, it takes too long to find out the components.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps for three and a half years. At present, we are using the latest version of it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product is not directly connected to the end users. The system that sends the data using the app to private and external systems is utilized by around 300 users.

How are customer service and support?

We have been receiving direct support from Microsoft for the last two years. They offer good technical services.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup process is easy. It takes a long time to ensure all the essential security architecture components, including key files, are configured. We need a team of seven executives: engineers, solution architects, and developers.

During the project development phase, the same team does the maintenance. When we exit the production, another group of three executives maintains the product.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is included in the combination of services offered by Azure environment. Its price depends on the number of transactions, storage capacity, etc., defining if the subscription will be monthly or weekly.

What other advice do I have?

I advise others to ensure all apps or processes they build are clearly defined before using the product.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the product for two years.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. We have both medium and enterprise businesses as customers.
