    Microsoft Application Server has been incredible this past year during COVID. Previously I would have said that we could go without it, but after this past season, I’m glad we have utilized it. Without having this software set up prior to COVID, we would have been in a tough situation. I mention COVID a lot because we were able to continue our work almost seamlessly this entire year.

    Azuqua is well suited to connect data based systems or to add an extra level of automation to Smartsheet without requiring the control center. It is also well suited for people who don't have in depth understandings of programming. The UI is mostly visual with click and drag systems instead of requiring manually entered variables.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Microsoft Application Server has proven to be highly reliable and effective at deploying to all of its clients.
    • Application performance is surprisingly good and responsive even in bandwidth-constrained environments and generally very reliable.
    • All software programs are manageable from a single location, even when bandwidth is limited.

    • The concept of reduced code to simplify use by less technical teams lowers the barriers to integration and allows teams to collaborate with ideas and concepts much easier
    • The ability to review simply any error cases simplifies the old approaches of debugging and reviewing large and complex logs
    • While not strictly part of the platform the support team's efforts to assist, to help clarify issues and then (where necessary) to resolve bugs was a large benefit and a key driver to extend the platform's footprint.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Some security hotfixes and general release updates require restarts.
    • We wish it supported more applications out of the box.
    • Thin client support would be great for MS Application Server.

    • The lack of connection/card documentation. Every card does have a section with details, but they are sometimes lacking.
    • The help center and community also need some structuring work. Every single connection/app should have a section with detailed documentation regarding its triggers and actions.
    • The FLO history section needs to be more refined. It sometimes does not load and choosing the date doesn't actually show execution results from that particular day.

    I have found Microsoft Application Server to be incredibly easy to use. I have used dozens of similar programs and have always struggled to navigate through all the functions. So far I have been able to adapt and learn this software with ease. I rarely run into a problem that I wasn’t easily able to move forward on with a few tips.

    The system is working as it should, keeping our programs safe from outside hackers. Helping us keep our passwords safe, convenient and already ready to get us logged into the program securely and quickly. Verification that only authorized users are able to access our company's programs. Okta Workflows (Azuqua) is a very good system that has helped our company greatly.

    Stability is one of the first things we consider when evaluating software. MS Application Server has been rock solid and has reduced the time that our IT staff dedicates to maintaining our legacy applications.

    It has a similar feature to what Microsoft Application Server has but at a greater cost and also having to deal with another vendor when we could use a full Microsoft Stack for better training and support.

    I had to use the Automate tool for funneling image assets in bulk (tens of thousands) from FTPs into various destinations on an eCommerce platform. The user interface was quite harsh in comparison to Azuqua. Far more text/code line driven.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • Our ROI has been great since it has enabled our IT staff to have a central location to perform application updates which enables us to save time and money.
    • Deployment is very easy since the internal applications that required constant updating are now updated in one central location.
    • It's a lot easier to be within compliance protocols requirements.
