PROS

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps offers seamless integration with existing active directory and various applications.
It provides numerous connectors for easy automation and integration of business logic.
Users appreciate the no-code/low-code feature and the ability to design workflows quickly and efficiently.
The tool supports scalability and is reliable, making it suitable for larger systems and architectures.
Initial setup is user-friendly and the detailed execution tracking simplifies debugging processes.

CONS

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps documentation could be improved, with issues stemming from Cosmos DB and other Microsoft Azure products.
There are complaints about performance, especially when dealing with large datasets, leading to reliance on tools like Azure Data Factory.
The cost structure of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is a major concern, as the cost depends on usage and number of workflow steps, which can increase significantly if not managed carefully.
Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could enhance its offerings by providing more customization options for connectors and improving security features.
The current business rules engine lacks full development, and improvements in this area would be very beneficial.
 

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Pros review quotes

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.

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 Logic App's designer is one of the vital features

The product's initial setup phase is something that I don't think is complex because once we start using it, it becomes simple.

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.

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

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.

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

Microsoft Azure Logic Apps Cons review quotes

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 .

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

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 product should integrate more APIs
Azhar Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Jun 19, 2024
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.
Atal Upadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

Especially when using a function or a parameter, that could be easier as that's not very well-documented, and it's not very clear from the tool itself how to use it.

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.

It's for a limited kind of application or short Apps. And, not for the complex applications.

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