Featured Reviews

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

"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."
"We mainly used it to integrate SAP, ServiceNow, and different third-party APIs with the front end."
"If there's something that isn't possible, you can write some code and call that code from a Logic App."
"The tool’s biggest benefit is the access we have to other Azure products."
"The solution is very easy for new users because it includes very good documentation and transparency."
"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."
"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."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."
"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."
"The tool's visual features are attractive."
"MuleSoft offers with the Anypoint Platform a unified platform for API management and an integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) as well as an on-premise Enterprise Service Bus pattern."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"MuleSoft's integration with Salesforce products makes it a preferred choice for those setups."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks sufficient connectors."
"It would be beneficial to have less code and tighter integration between different cloud services."
"It's for a limited kind of application or short Apps. And, not for the complex applications."
"Not all connectors are readily available, though. There are two types: managed connectors and app connectors. Some connectors require you to provide a username and password to connect to platforms like SharePoint or Salesforce. Due to security constraints, some users may prefer not to use these connectors. Instead, they might opt for the HTTP connector."
"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"The scalability could be improved."
"The visual tool that is used to build integration is quite old."
"There could be custom code for the product's components."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"Over the years, Mule Anypoint Platform has undergone significant improvements. When I first started using it, the API gateway capabilities were fairly basic."
"Lacks intelligent management data and intelligent mappings."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
"The stability could be better."

"It is a cost-efficient platform."
"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."

"The product is not cheap. I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."
"The licensing is cheaper because, compared to other services, Azure services are much cheaper and affordable."
"The product is still very expensive."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
