A step-by-step comparison between both integration platforms based on features, complexity, and industry.
Azure Logic Apps

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.

Comparing the Alumio iPaaS with Azure Logic Apps

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.
