Another day, another inquiry/survey! Honestly, I love this new interaction from the Logic App team. They are constantly looking to learn from the field: clients, partners, consultants, how are we using Azure Integration Services, how are we using BizTalk Server, what features we need, and so on to improve the overall experience in the existing Enterprise Integration features available on Azure Integration Services as well as knowing how to decide which and how the following features will be.
Logic App Pricing & container Survey
So once again, the Azure Logic Apps team wants to enter your brain and is looking to learn more about what you need for your Enterprise Integration landscape and do things right for you both in terms of features as well as a business model. This survey was released at INTEGRATE 2022 conference, but even if you didn’t attend the conference, your input is also important to them:
Which Logic Apps SKU are you using?
How important are certain features for your organization for integration workloads? Like:
Out-of-the-box Connectors
VNET Support
Disaster Recovery
and so on
How satisfied are you with certain capabilities in Logic Apps? Like:
Out-of-the-box Connectors
Enterprise Connectors like SAP or MQ
Integration Account
and so on
Rating ‘pricing’ principles by order of importance for your organization for iPaas products like Logic Apps
Based on your business strategy and preferences, how would you rate specific pricing models for your iPaas needs? Like:
Fixed cost
Consumption-based
and so on
If Logic Apps Premium connectors were offered through a model other than consumption-based, what would be your order of preference?
How satisfied are you with the Logic Apps pricing model for Logic Apps, ISE, connectors, and so on?
For applying policies such as network configuration, DLP (Data loss protection) policies, security policies, at what scope do you prefer to apply them?
For leveraging configurations such as EDI artifacts (Partners, Agreements), connection parameters, application parameters, CMK (customer managed keys), etc, at what scope do you prefer to apply them?
Logic Apps Standard provides you single tenancy, and customers bring their own compute. How do you prefer to use this compute across applications?
The Logic App team is super focused on improving their offering and creating a product that delights their customers from diverse industry segments and all sizes.
Once again, don’t complain in the future about the lack of features that will suit you better. The survey does not take that long to respond to.
I did my part!
Please fill out the following survey to help Azure Logic Apps:
Logic App teams are being very active in gathering feedback from all of us: partners, clients, developers, and so on in order to improve the overall experience in the existing Enterprise Integration features available on Azure Integration Services as well as knowing how to decide which and how the next features will be. So once again, the Azure Logic Apps team is looking to learn about how are you using certain B2B capabilities in Azure in three (3) different surveys.
Logic Apps Survey for EDI Capabilities
Microsoft is reinvesting and enhancing our EDI capabilities, so they want to hear your feedback:
How satisfied are you with the current experience and capabilities for EDI in Logic Apps today?
What products are you using for EDI-based integrations today?
How satisfied are you with the current experience or capabilities for EDI in Logic Apps today?
In the context of EDI, how many partners are there in your organization?
How often (daily/weekly/monthly) do you onboard new partners?
On average, how many partners do you onboard at a time?
What are your preferred or most used methods of onboarding partners?
How satisfied are you with the EDI capabilities of Logic Apps?
How would you rate certain topics by importance for your organization for EDI-based transactions?
How do you find Integration Account pricing? – I know many of you complain about the cost of the integration account! This is your opportunity to provide feedback!
Please fill out this form if you are interested in joining the ‘Private Preview’ of the SAP connector for Logic Apps Standard.
This is not a form to provide immediate feedback but you can gain access to the private preview of the SAP connector and interact with the product team providing feedback and helping outline what the next version of this feature will be.
SWIFT connector (encode/decode) are available in Private Preview. Please fill out this form if you are interested in joining the Private Preview of the SWIFT connector for Logic Apps Standard. Microsoft is also planning to add more capabilities to enable SWIFT workloads. Please share your feedback on requirements and priorities:
What do you use today for SWIFT-based integrations?
What SWIFT capabilities are of interest to you?
How would you rank certain capabilities?
Do you have any business need to make changes to the SWIFT schema/rules that are shipped with the BizTalk Message pack?
What are your plans to go live on ISO 20022 messages instead of MT messages to comply with SWIFT MT decommissioning announcements?
Do you feel difficult to keep up to date on all the frequent updates and announcements in the Microsoft Integration platform and Azure iPaaS?
Integration weekly updates can be your solution. It’s a weekly update on the topics related to Integration – enterprise integration, robust & scalable messaging capabilities and Citizen Integration capabilities empowered by Microsoft platform to deliver value to the business.
And once again, the Azure Logic Apps team is looking to learn about how are you using BizTalk Server artifacts, this time: what kind of BizTalk Server Custom Pipeline Components are you using in your Enterprise Applications to better understand how Microsoft can best address future integration needs within the Azure Integration Services platform and maybe bring identical capabilities into it.
No matter if you are considering migrating in the future to Azure Integration Services or staying on-premises for a couple of more years (or forever) this is ANOTHER great opportunity to provide feedback to the Microsoft Integration team and positively influence the outcome of new features.
So, for customers that are using BizTalk Server or were using BizTalk Server in the past, this survey is for you! If you are a consulting company providing services to clients using BizTalk Server, this surveyis also for you! The Azure Logic Apps team would love to hear from you!!! They want AGAIN to enter and poke around your brain, your world and gather all the feedback regarding BizTalk Server:
How many Custom Pipeline Components do you have?
Why do you use Custom Pipeline Components?
Within your Custom Pipeline Components, do you leverage message streams?
For messages that are processed by your Custom Pipeline Components, what is the largest file you process?
What is your comfort level with the Custom Pipeline Components that your organization has?
As we consider how to best support Custom Pipeline Component functionality (capabilities) in Azure Integration Services, is there anything that you would like us to consider?
Once again, don’t complain in the future about the lack of features that will suit you better. The team is interested in how they can best support customers transitioning integration workloads to Azure Integration Services (AIS)… you are not going to move to Azure? The survey does not take that long to respond to, so if you are using BizTalk Server try to respond nevertheless, by doing that you can help other customers on their journey.
I did my part!
Please fill out the following survey to help Azure Logic Apps:
And ONCE AGAIN! For the bad mouths of this universe or for those who like to create rumors because they have nothing to say… this survey does not mean that BizTalk Server is dead! The goal is to help Microsoft prioritize upcoming investments in Azure Integration Services (AIS).
And the most expected email arrived, this time on 5th July! Once again, I’m delighted to share that I was renewed as a Microsoft Azure MVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional). I’m deeply humbled to have received this award for the 12th year in a row.
Thank you Microsoft for this outstanding award and for continuing this fantastic journey and experience in the MVP Program. For me, this journey started in 2011 as BizTalk MVP, and since then, it has given me the opportunity and still does, to travel the world for speaking engagement, sharing knowledge, and meeting the most impressive and skilled people in our industry.
This longevity in the program currently makes me the “Godfather” of the Portuguese MVPs alongside my dear friend Rodrigo Pinto (but I am a few months older :)).
Jokes apart, I want to send a big thanks to Cristina González Herrero for all the fantastic work managing the program in my region. To Microsoft Portugal and to Microsoft for empowering us to support the technical communities. To my coworkers and team at DevScope, all my blog readers, friends, and Microsoft Enterprise Integration Community members, and in special to my beautiful family – THANKS! Thanks for your support during these years.
It’s a big honor to be in the program and be one of this fantastic worldwide group of technicians and community leaders who actively share their high-quality and real-world expertise with other users and Microsoft. I’m looking forward to another great year!
