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

"The product’s most valuable feature is integration."
"Easy to use and is able to integrate with other Azure-based environments."
"The solution has plenty of good valuable features and a plethora of services."
"Its integration capabilities are great, allowing connectivity with various applications and services."
"I am impressed with the tool's UI and analytics."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is something that I don't think is complex because once we start using it, it becomes simple."
"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 most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
"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 most valuable features of the Mule Anypoint Platform are the Flex Gateway, API management, easy-to-use, and connectors. Additionally, they are coming out with improvements to the solution when required."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"Overall, it is a pretty good product. It is also very scalable."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful if the vendor could provide more data connectors."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is good for certain types of workloads, but it doesn't offer many customization options."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could have more customization options for connectors."
"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 business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"The visual tool that is used to build integration is quite old."
"The product needs improvement in getting direct access to the code and versioning."
"An area for improvement for Azure Logic Apps could be enhancing its ability to handle large datasets. When dealing with extensive data, we often have to use Azure Data Factory, which is mostly limited to scheduled jobs."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"The solution's licensing methodologies could be improved."
"The tool requires programming language."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's cost can vary depending on your specific use case. Generally, it's considered cheaper, but the price depends on how much you use it and which features you need. Initially, there was a consumption-based pricing model, but now Microsoft offers a standard tier. Microsoft encourages users to migrate from the consumption model to the standard one by 2025. The pricing is a monthly fixed cost, depending on your usage needs."
"It's very cheap, but it comes with pluses and minuses. The positive thing is that it's very cheap, but on the other hand, it's extremely hard to tell how much it will cost. At the start of the project, it's almost impossible to tell how many times you will be calling some kind of Logic App function. You cannot state how much of the internet transfer you will use or how much data your will use."
"The pricing is okay. It's not highly priced. It's in the medium range."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is a little bit expensive, and that is why you use it only for certain types of scenarios."
"The pricing is not expensive."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."
"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."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"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."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
