It’s always a good idea to look beyond familiar technology. An excellent site that compares different types of software is: g2crowd. Search for iPaaS if you want to compare Microsoft Azure LogicApps to technology like Dell Boomi and Zapier. A few weeks later I wanted to compare BettyBlocks to other NoCode platforms. I found another site…
