Likelihood to Recommend
1. For simple tasks / moderately difficult tasks (where there are not too many condition checks) 2. We have less time for development, and the Agenda is simple. 3. Avoid Azure Logic Apps when you are unsure about hitting the limits (check latest limitations of Azure Logic Apps in MS docs)

We live in the world where one system cannot solve all of your business problems, because of that we want to make sure that information is exactly the same across multiple systems and Ethos allows this to happen. Your identity and everything related to you will be exactly the same in all systems across the board. With cloud solutions coming up at the speed of light, it is imperative that every solution you acquire has accurate data in order to be efficient and cost-effective.

Pros
  • We use it for an email connector to a function app and as a way to move items into a storage account.
  • We use it as a way to preprocess information before it goes into function app or a SharePoint site.

  • Ethos Integration obfuscates database access from the developers and functional users.
  • Ethos Integration provides common-denominator data model between different systems on campus.
  • Ethos Integration has good management tool - API Management Center.
  • Ethos Identity allows easy federated access with our Shibboleth IDP provider.

Cons
  • It falls short of alerting capabilities.
  • Microsoft Azure should be unclouded with its pricing. We don't always know how much an inclusion will affect the monthly price. So we have to speculate where we are with the price and if we can afford to include another asset.

  • It is expensive
  • Getting Ellucian Ethos does not mean you get all functionalities, other modules like workflow and analytics have to be purchased separately
  • Takes a while to set it up

Usability
I found them easy to use and adapt to different scenarios, from Azure management to link processes between REST APIs. Together with Function Apps, they're probably the most useful resource type for Azure. Today, I use them in production, and that's a key component: stable, secure, easy to manage, and maintain.

Support Rating
Azure Logic Apps are backed by Azure and Microsoft. There is a wealth of information on the internet about both of these platforms. In addition to this Microsoft has a huge bush to using this platform and have offered many solutions and support options to the user. The only drawback is that it is a fairly new platform so the 3rd party information tends to be lacking.

Support from Ellucian for Ethos Integration was generally good. The help in building Ethos was adequate, and resolving issues were handled professionally. However, for Ethos Identity module, the support in building the cluster failover architecture was lacking. After over a month of open engagement, the issue still has not been resolved.

Alternatives Considered
When we proposed products for central integration, we were also introduced to software like Pabbly - which was in its early stages of company growth. The main reason why we picked Azure Logic apps over the other software is that it is manufactured by the renowned company Microsoft and we had nothing to worry about our data security. Also, Logic apps offered a great deal when it came to pricing and it was also so much easier to negotiate the plans and prices with the customer care representatives at Azure Logic Apps!

The integrations with Banner and other systems are currently done by home-grown systems.

Return on Investment
  • Moving to Serverless Computing obviously makes the organization get rid of dependent Infra.
  • ROI can be seen immediately as the required infra can be decommissioned after a successful quarter run.
  • Being deployed as a single entity or single app on Azure Logic Apps, Organizations need to be more careful with controls applied to meet compliance and security posture.

  • Our ROI is nonexistent at this time as we are still implementing. However, the minimal cost signifies that it will be a significant help.
