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.

The implementation cycle has been reduced significantly but has room for integration enhancements

Our existing customers who are on ECC are on-premises. They are migrating to SAP Cloud Platform, specifically on S4HANA. One of our clients was on SAP ECC on-premises, and they are moving to the cloud on S4HANA on the public cloud system. We are supporting about 15 customers, mostly small to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has plenty of good valuable features and a plethora of services."

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

"The design is highly beneficial. It functions as a sandbox environment."

"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 integration with Active Directory and detailed execution tracking for debugging are the most valuable features."

"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."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."

"Easy to use and is able to integrate with other Azure-based environments."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pros

"The dashboard provides pretty good clarity."

"The mobile access capability is very beneficial."

"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."

"SAP has provided very good support."

"I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has 800 users."

"The solution has a lot of great features."

"The product captures data in real time."

"Though I'm not a massive fan of the SAP Cloud Platform, it has good features, such as its integration with other SAP solutions. When integrating with SAP or even the SAP sister company SuccessFactors and other companies SAP has acquired, you also enjoy data features in the SAP Cloud Platform, such as role-based permissions and other characteristics you can import from SAP."

More SAP Cloud Platform pros

Cons

"The standard logic app could be simplified. Thats what we would like to see in the next release."

"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."

"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."

"We wanted to use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, but we faced a timeout."

"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."

"In Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, we use Liquid templates, and I feel it can be improved as it does not support all the features that our company wants to use during any complex mapping when we might have to go for custom coding."

"In Logic Apps, it supports AJAX and jQuery as commands to filter out to input the parameter. But regular expressions in general aren't supported well. So, I recommend that Logic Apps could be enhanced by supporting regular expressions (RegEx) more comprehensively ."

"The product should integrate more APIs"

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps cons

"Usability is a challenge most of the time and not being able to get all of the information."

"The product's support team has certain shortcomings, not from the solution's portal perspective but from the back-end side."

"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."

"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"SAP is expensive."

"The areas I think this solution should improve are monitoring and adapting."

"SAP Cloud Platform should improve on integrating third-party applications with S/4HANA."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."

"The product is quite cheap."

"The pricing is not expensive."

"Compared to the prices of Mulesoft, the price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is low."

"Logic Apps is cheap with its pay-as-you-go model. We only pay for usage time, no license fees. So Logic Apps is good in that aspect."

"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."

"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 tool’s pricing could be better."

More Microsoft Azure Logic Apps pricing and cost advice

"The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a six or seven."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

"SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."

"SAP provides good discounts."

"SAP Cloud Platform is generally more expensive than the other options."

"SAP Cloud Platform is expensive. It can be quite costly."

"The product's pricing varies and depends on the customers' needs."
