Merge has streamlined change data capture and supports cost‑effective ELT hiring flexibility
Regarding optimization, I have observed that on the Snowflake side, with Merge being used on a table that has micro partitions and has been well maintained, the statement execution will be very fast. This helps in both cost savings and performance-wise optimization. It would be beneficial if there is a common public community so that people who may not be aware of this will become more aware. Additionally, when we do joins within the Merge statement, there is always a chance of getting duplicates. Snowflake added a feature called QUALIFY that allows us to filter based on ranking and eliminate duplicate records. If such a feature were available in regular Merge statements within any database, that would be helpful. This would eliminate the need to rebuild another subquery inside the Merge statement.

Has supported seamless integration flows while requiring improvement in cost transparency
Assessing the ease of connecting disparate systems using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps connectors is simple because we have a Standard Operating Process. If we want to use Logic Apps, we just reserve the instances as per our requirement. Even for Blob storage, we use tokenized endpoints that give us access to this storage account, making it secure. At API Gateway, we have policies that help us implement encryption and decryption. Request parameters are mapped automatically, converted to SOAP, XML, or JSON as needed in different formats. We utilize its monitoring capabilities; Event Grids are used for logging events. Additionally, we have implemented a retry mechanism and are using Azure Monitor for end-to-end request tracing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Merge has positively impacted my organization by being extremely useful and allowing me to review multiple files at increased speed."
"One significant advantage is the ability to go with open source and not depend on proprietary ETL tools, which saves licensing costs and allows me to hire broadly for common SQL and data warehousing skills instead of niche tool expertise."
"The solution's best feature is that it is compatible with the cloud and has many connectors and third-party adapters."
"I have had wonderful experiences with the technical support team recently."
"My advice to others is Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is easy to use compared to other services."
"Its integration capabilities are great, allowing connectivity with various applications and services."
"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."
"The product integration with Active Directory and detailed execution tracking for debugging are the most valuable features."
"Logic Apps is valuable because my team uses it for integrating SaaS tool sets."
"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."
 

Cons

"Additionally, when we do joins within the Merge statement, there is always a chance of getting duplicates."
"Merge could be improved in terms of scriptability, as I recall it was not as strong as Beyond Compare in this regard."
"It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services."
"I find the current interface useful, but I could see how others would want the UI bits that are used for creating Logic Apps to be simplified."
"Standard documents are fine, but in certain situations, when facing specific errors or issues, partners or consumers expect customized solutions rather than just links to existing documents."
"The only thing is, sometimes, when we need a specific connector, it requires an enterprise or paid version. If it were possible to provide the most commonly used connectors for pulling data from different sources free of cost, that would be really nice."
"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."
"The solution could add an AI version to make it easier for people."
"Additionally, enhancing scalability features, such as implementing queuing mechanisms for high-concurrency scenarios, would greatly improve its utility."
"The standard logic app could be simplified. Thats what we would like to see in the next release."
