We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Logic Apps and Workato based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to use, and it's stable."
"We can write external features and transfer the data using JPIMs securely which has been most valuable."
"The product’s most valuable feature is integration."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."
"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."
"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."
"Its integration capabilities are great, allowing connectivity with various applications and services."
"The solution has plenty of good valuable features and a plethora of services."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services."
"The pricing could be improved."
"An area of improvement I've encountered is related to the number of connectors available in Logic Apps. While there are many connectors, I found that the "send email" connector may not work as expected, and one has to rely on Office 365 plugins or other alternatives. This could enhance user experience, especially when considering the additional overhead and licensing requirements associated with Office 365. It also needs to improve security features."
"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."
"The product needs improvement in getting direct access to the code and versioning."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the vendor could provide more data connectors."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
