Microsoft Azure Logic Apps vs Workato comparison

"Connectors are very useful for streamlining data integration tasks."

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

"The solution's best feature is that it is compatible with the cloud and has many connectors and third-party adapters."

"The prebuilt connectors available for SAP are really useful."

"Logic Apps is good for helping us run our access on a cloud environment like Azure. It's much easier, more reliable, and better to maintain."

"It is a very stable solution."

"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."

"Logic Apps is good for helping us run our access on a cloud environment like Azure. It's much easier, more reliable, and better to maintain."

"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."

"Workato reduces total development time as it generates code seamlessly and integrates with SQL databases or APIs through configuration."

"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."

"I would recommend Workato because everyone is moving away from writing extensive code."

"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."

"Workato allows us to streamline our operations by replacing multiple legacy systems with a single integrated platform."

"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."

"The features of Workato are very user-friendly."

"The product should integrate more APIs"

"The scalability could be improved."

"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."

"The pricing could be improved."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps needs further development in consistency and durability, particularly for handling larger data volumes beyond 1 MB."

"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 business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."

"An area of improvement I've encountered is related to the number of connectors available in Logic Apps. While there are many connectors, I found that the "send email" connector may not work as expected, and one has to rely on Office 365 plugins or other alternatives. This could enhance user experience, especially when considering the additional overhead and licensing requirements associated with Office 365. It also needs to improve security features."

"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."

"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."

"The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities could be improved."

"Currently, Workato is a low-code platform without native programming capabilities. I would appreciate having a dedicated programming language for tasks like transformations and functional programming."

"Integrating on-prem applications is challenging, even though they have an on-prem agent."

"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."

"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."

"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."

"The licensing is cheaper because, compared to other services, Azure services are much cheaper and affordable."

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

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is a little bit expensive, and that is why you use it only for certain types of scenarios."

"The tool’s pricing could be better."

"I rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The product pricing aligns well with the value and capabilities offered by Azure services."

"The cost of the solution could be cheaper."

"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."

"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."

"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."

"Workato is an expensive solution."
