Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Valuable Features

Divya Prakash - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Architect at Hexaware Technologies Limited

There are many good features of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, and that's why customers are using it. For instance, we have SaaS event processing, timer-based processing, data ingestion, and business process automation. 

Another essential feature is ISE (Integration Service Environment) for content-based routing, data transformation, and enrichment. These capabilities address various business use cases effectively. Azure Logic Apps provide the functionality required to achieve these scenarios.

We can write external features and transfer the data using JPIMs securely which has been most valuable.

The tool’s biggest benefit is the access we have to other Azure products. We can use all the Azure services directly. I like the product. It is the best choice for use cases involving Azure products.

The prebuilt connectors available for SAP are really useful. The solution is easy to use and has a plug-and-play or drag-and-drop concept. We can create connectors easily. We don't have to do too much R&D and write codes to make it work.

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.

The solution is always improving every month.

Templates are valuable. There are formulas so that we can modify them according to our needs. Connectors are very useful for streamlining data integration tasks. The solution has a lot of data connectors.

If we are working with a service-oriented architecture, as an architect as a baseline, it supports us very well in terms of expandability, and the kind of robustness it brings, especially with its serverless nature is fabulous. That's not a problem. So that's how we view it. It allows us to focus on a particular functionality within this context, and that's great. 

However, the challenge lies in the fact that it's often difficult for most developers to integrate it into their daily activities seamlessly. That's where it becomes problematic.

The drag-and-drop UI is very helpful because you don't need to open an editor to start writing in Logic Apps. 

There are predefined connectors to do API calls or connect to a database. 

The solution is very easy for new users because it includes very good documentation and transparency.

I have an example where I automated a business process using Logic Apps and even published an article on the same solution. The customer is required to monitor their NSGs. In the Logic App flow, I designed an alert system if any deny event occurred. It created an HTML-formatted alert identifying the request details, such as the user, specific server, and port that were denied. This alert was then sent to the respective admin users, allowing them to enable the request. If enabled, the request would go back to the system, triggering a script to enable it; otherwise, it would remain disabled.

In another experience, I created an internal application for the purchase order department using Power Apps and Microsoft Azure Logic Apps. I utilized it to gather data from an Azure SQL database and generate a PDF report. This report was then sent to the relevant stakeholders.

Using connectors in the product is quite straightforward and user-friendly. The platform provides a list of connectors, and users can easily search for the specific connectors they need.

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.

The solution's most valuable feature is the no-code/low-code feature. Due to certain restrictions, we might be unable to use some connectors, particularly if they involve sensitive information like usernames and credentials. In such cases, you could use the library. Then, you can deploy that function app to the same subscription and call it via Microsoft Azure Logic Apps.

It is incredibly easy to use. You open it, and it's just like a designer. It asks: "Well, what step would you want to take?"

There are good integrations available. 

If there's something that isn't possible, you can write some code and call that code from a Logic App.

It is stable.

In Microsoft Azure, this orchestration tool is a data factory. It's simple to use and has good UI with most connectors available to connect with different source systems and databases and Azure Databricks. 

So, we use it as a data transformation tool. So, on a big volume of data, we can do it. I've been using Microsoft Azure for five or six years, so I'm quite comfortable with it.

Azure Logic Apps is an analytics tool that's pretty easy to use. Compared to AWS and GCP, it's quite comfortable. The UI is much improved.

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.

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.

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.
