Are you planning to implement an integration platform or an iPaaS solution? To help you navigate the plethora of integration platforms, we’ve created comparisons with the most popular solutions. In this comparison, we’re exploring the difference between two renowned integration platforms, namely the Alumio iPaaS and Azure Logic Apps. We compare their common attributes, platform features, pricing structures, industrial specialization, and overall user-friendliness.
Azure Logic Apps is an iPaaS (integration Platform as a Service) that is a part of Azure Integration Services of Microsoft Cloud. While Azure Logic Apps is a pay-as-per-use integration platform that helps connect applications and workflows across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, for other integration, features such as API management, ETL, and data integration, users can implement other Azure Integration Services such as Azure Data Factory. To access Logic Apps B2B / EDI and XML processing capabilities, users have to buy the Integration Account plan, which is priced per hour.
The Alumio integration platform (iPaaS) is a flexible cloud-native solution that helps integrate multiple applications, systems, and data sources. While making integrations simple for non-coding business users with no-code features, Alumio is primarily a low-code integration solution that offers developer-friendly integration features and customizability. The platform is designed as a scalable solution for both SMBs and enterprises to develop, govern, and orchestrate industry-specific integrated ecosystems. Alumio provides a free trial version, full-feature access, and unlimited connected systems across all plans with a limitation on the number of tasks.
The Alumio iPaaS (integration Platform as a Service) is a cloud-native, low-code integration platform that helps connect multiple systems, SaaS, cloud apps, and data sources, across on-premises and cloud environments. It provides a user-friendly web interface that both developers and business users can collaborate on to create, monitor, and manage integrations and data flows, without the need for custom code. Alumio is known for its customizability and developer-friendly advanced integration features such as mappers, custom transformers, and workflow automation, making it flexible enough to adapt to virtually any use case.
Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is a hyrbid cloud-based integration platform provided by Microsoft as part of the Azure Integration Services suite. It allows users to automate workflows and integrate various applications, data sources, and services across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. With Azure Logic Apps, businesses can create and manage workflows using a visual designer without the need for extensive coding. This involves establishing connectivity between apps using the built-in connectors and managed connectors of Logic Apps.
Task-based pricing model.
Starting at 999€ per month.
Alumio offers full feature access and unlimited connections, users, and workflows across all plans. Costs are incurred only on tasks initiated, starting with 1 million tasks per year with the Essential Edition. Higher capacity plans provide increased storage space and task capabilities, dedicated support functionalities, and data retention options.
Consumption-based pricing
$0.000025 per action.
A pay-as-you-go pricing model that charges per-triggers and actions that are specified in a logic app. It runs in a multi-tenant environment, leverages connectors, and every time Logic App definition runs triggers, action, and connecter executions, it gets metered.
