Regarding automation, there were multiple business requirements to automate processes, such as sales processes and finance data. They wanted to integrate with different systems and achieve accurate results with the reflection of accurate data into correct databases. In that way, we can use SnapLogic to integrate and load; it is ETL, extract, load, and transform with different databases. With those databases, it will be really helpful to use SnapLogic, which will serve as the middleware tool to make it easy to transform data.

For deployment, we were raising requests to another team. They were creating solutions to make it happen with the help of Postman; we were adding details, and using the Postman tool, they were integrating or deploying in another environment.

The tool is very user-friendly and not complex to understand. The structure of the platform is easy to understand, and we can build multiple systems with low-code, no-code, so it doesn't require much coding language. Now it is moving more into APIs, so we can create APIs to transfer data, which we can manage. It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI. With those Snaps, we can integrate and move more into the AI world.

SnapLogic is hosted on Groundplex and AWS cloud. It has pre-built connectors, which we call Snaps. That is very helpful to connect with multiple systems.

We have a dashboard monitor that is very graphical. We can measure exact times in seconds and how much time it took to complete the process. With that help, it's really helpful to see how much memory consumption is utilized. The monitor structure has very good features for SnapLogic.

SnapLogic is an integration tool which we use to integrate multiple systems such as source system, target system, cloud systems, and Groundplex systems. It is an iPaaS tool and a very strong tool. Now it is moving more into APIs and AI/ML tools; it is improving their knowledge. It is helpful for creating SnapLogic agents. In this way, SnapLogic is expanding their work.

In the future, SnapLogic can make connectors with LLM connectors which are available recently. They can work on that aspect. Sometimes those connectors have low performance or don't generate accurate results, so that can be improved. API management is going good, so they can improve more.

The next feature could include more managed capabilities. It has the manager component. They can improve more visuals, with graphical representations, such as how many things can be added, how many users can be added or dropped, and how the back-end nodes can be graphically shown in a better way.

I have been working with SnapLogic for three-plus years.

Recently, I haven't found any performance issues. Previously, a year or a year and a half back, sometimes it was lagging, meaning it was giving low performance. But recently, in a year, I haven't found many performance issues in SnapLogic.

SnapLogic is scalable.

They have a community channel for support if needed. Some SMEs are allotted for the organization, so in case of any issue, we have their email IDs to contact them for support, including SMEs and community.

There was MOVEit, which was the old product. We migrated from MOVEit to SnapLogic.

In MOVEit there were some security issues, and that product was taking a long time to respond, and the performance was very laggy. We decided to move to SnapLogic due to these security issues.

It was not straightforward. There were medium to complex kinds of integrations. Sometimes it is direct integration, and sometimes it has logics to make transformations. In some cases, we have scripts we need to run in SnapLogic to perform operations.

Regarding the transformation in SnapLogic, we can make complex query transformations, multiple logic, if-else statements, or any ternary operators; any transformation needed from source database or source system to target system. SnapLogic is really helpful to make that transformation with the help of connectors.

Previously, we were using other tools and observed their timing. When we migrated that logic to SnapLogic, we found a major difference compared to the old legacy tool. It is saving cost and time. SnapLogic is really helpful and processes in very little time, so it doesn't take much time compared to any legacy tool.

I do not know the exact pricing.

It was not straightforward. There were medium to complex kinds of integrations. Sometimes it is direct integration, and sometimes it has logics to make transformations. In some cases, we have scripts we need to run in SnapLogic to perform operations.

I would consider SnapLogic, and I would suggest any other organization use SnapLogic because it's not just an ETL tool; it is also moving into data orchestration and AI. It is a very scalable product and highly recommended. I rate SnapLogic 8 out of 10.

Our main use cases for the SAP Cloud Platform are that we are a government organization and we implemented six modules.

The features and functions of the SAP Cloud Platform are very good; the performance is improved when compared with the older versions. Earlier, we were using Oracle DB, and after HANA DB migration, it is fine. We are getting the reports, and processing time is also reduced.

Almost all the features of the SAP Cloud Platform are fine and good. SAP Fiori has also entered into the picture, and we are developing the Fiori apps. We have started with the BTP for the new innovations as per the SAP roadmap.

The main benefits of the SAP Cloud Platform for us are that earlier we had the primary data center at our place, but now we have shifted to the cloud. The maintenance is free for us; the maintenance is completely done by this SAP partnership with Cloud4C.

We have started using the SAP Analytics Cloud, and we have developed many applications for SAP SAC. We are going to give the presentation to our chairman most probably next week.

The analytics features positively influence decision-making for us.

The SAP Cloud Platform has been effective for us because the processing time is reduced, and we can access it easily.

We are not facing many problems with the SAP Cloud Platform; the only problem is we want the solutions immediately.

Regarding improvements, we can discuss with our internal team and determine what improvements are required in the SAP Cloud Platform. We started in the year 2007-2008 with SAP. For almost 17 years, in 2018, we migrated to HANA DB on the SAP Cloud Platform. In 2024, we will have migrated to S/4HANA through RISE with SAP. As a government organization, we are following SAP's roadmap.

We have been using the platform for the last eight years.

We have not faced any kind of challenges or problems with the SAP Cloud Platform as of now.

I have no complaints about the SAP Cloud Platform; earlier, we had individual applications, but now everything is migrated to SAP, and it's all on a single platform, making it easier for management to make timely decisions.

I'm not getting the point regarding multi-cloud support.

Regarding support, whenever we are creating a ticket for any problem, we want the solution immediately at the earliest. That is the main concern for us because ours is a coal industry, where dispatches are going on completely 24 hours. So it should not be hampered.

Positive

It is easy to set up the SAP Cloud Platform.

Almost all the amount we have invested in the SAP Cloud Platform, we have received back. In the last four to five years, I can see that it is two to three times. In the last three to four years, whatever we have invested, we have received two to three times back from our investment.

We have not yet decided how the SAP Cloud Platform affected our cost savings or business growth, but we want to implement AI with IoT technologies for getting mining industry-specific applications.

Regarding cost, if you consider the SAP Cloud Platform, it is a little bit on the higher side. Whatever we want to purchase, it is in lakhs of rupees or crores only. From SAP's side, the pricing is on the higher side and should be reduced. When compared with other organizations or software companies, it should be minimal or a little bit more, but there is too much of a gap between other software companies and SAP.

I am working with the SAP Cloud Platform, and we are using the SAP HANA Cloud since the last seven to eight years. It's running successfully without any problems.

We are using the SAP Cloud Platform, specifically the HANA Cloud Platform. Since 2018, we have been on the SAP Cloud Platform.

We are starting to use development tools for the projects in the SAP Cloud Platform. We have been using the SAP Cloud Platform for both non-SAP applications and SAP applications through RFC, and now we are going to start with the CPI, Cloud Platform Integration.

We have not introduced AI so far with the SAP Cloud Platform. We are planning to implement the latest technologies in the mining industry through AI or IoT technologies. We do leverage the SAP Cloud Platform for AI and IoT projects.

The SAP Cloud Platform has enhanced my experience. I can rate the SAP Cloud Platform up to seven for support.

I will definitely recommend using the SAP Cloud Platform because we are receiving many advantages from it. Other government organizations in Telangana state are going for SAP Cloud Platform or any SAP application based on our recommendations before initiating new projects in their organizations.

I have already explained the advantages gained from the SAP Cloud Platform, including free maintenance, it is easily accessible, and whenever there is a problem, we inform the concern, and they attend to that issue immediately.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate the SAP Cloud Platform an 8.
