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.
MohanPrasad - PeerSpot reviewer
Smooth integration and enhanced deployment with high licensing cost
webMethods.io was used to integrate APIs through the webMethods.io platform, trigger database events, and connect backend APIs through a Java backend. It was used extensively for integration purposes in my organization Integration became smoother, troubleshooting was easier, and deployment and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's best feature is that it is compatible with the cloud and has many connectors and third-party adapters."
"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."
"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."
"The Logic App's designer is one of the vital features"
"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."
"One special aspect of Azure Logic Apps is its easy integration of various applications, especially when connectors are already available. For instance, there are connectors for database applications and systems like SAP. You can drag and drop the connectors to complete your integration quickly."
"It's easy to use, and it's stable."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"There were no complexities involved in the setup phase...The product is able to meet my company's API protection needs."
"What I found most valuable in webMethods Integration Server is that it's a strong ESB. It also has strong API modules and portals."
"Within the new version, webMethods API Gateway gives us an end-to-end lifecycle from the creation of the API up into the development, deployment, and promotion into production/live. The current end-to-end lifecycle of the API gives us enough authority and governance of the API. We know what are currently live services, what is in the testing stage of development, and what version that has been commissioned. So, the full life cycle itself gives us full authority and governance of the API."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be improved."
"The documentation could be better. I think that's the only thing that was causing a normal level of problems. In terms of the documentation, it came from Cosmos DB and an additional product from Microsoft Azure."
"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is good for certain types of workloads, but it doesn't offer many customization options."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the vendor could provide more data connectors."
"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"Perhaps in the area of Microservices, where I think Trading Networks could benefit from some improvements."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"In terms of improvement, it would be better if it adapted quicker to open standards. It took a while for API specification before the last version was available. The spec of version two was rather quick."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so."
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s pricing could be better."
"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."
"Its price depends on the number of transactions, storage capacity, etc., defining if the subscription will be monthly or weekly."
"The price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is inexpensive."
"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"The pricing is okay. It's not highly priced. It's in the medium range."
"Compared to the prices of Mulesoft, the price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is low."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."
"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced."
"The solution's development license is free for three to six months. We have to pay for other things."
"The product is expensive."
"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
