Room For Improvement

3scale API Management needs better CMS, customization, Open API 3 support, and improvements in user experience and integration capabilities.
SnapLogic needs improved integrations, processing, transparency, support, AI, and performance for better user experience and large data handling.
If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy to learn for new users, it would be greatly beneficial.
Senior Data Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Some advanced features lack detailed documentation, and debugging complex pipelines could be more intuitive.

Setup Cost

3scale API Management is cost-effective, especially with OpenShift, priced around $45,000 annually, seen as affordable by users.
SnapLogic's pricing, though moderate to high, offers scalability and value for complex integrations with its flexible, usage-based licensing.
I would say the pricing is on the higher side, but it aligns with the capabilities offered for mid- to large integrations.
Global Head - DevOps and AIOps Startegist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
SnapLogic is positioned at around seven or eight out of ten in terms of pricing.

Valuable Features

3scale API Management offers easy OpenShift integration, efficient traffic management, API automation, enhanced security, and container deployment capabilities.
SnapLogic simplifies low-code development with drag-and-drop tools, pre-built snaps, and seamless integration, enhancing efficiency and user experience.
It simplifies exposing our APIs externally and inherently adds a layer of security, which I see as a positive impact from the product.
Program Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The drag-and-drop builder and pre-built snaps have helped our team through a very low-code approach, making it easier for us to develop fast pipelines and be more agile compared to the heavier integration platforms we used before.
Global Head - DevOps and AIOps Startegist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
I also like the whole child-parent pipeline feature; it allows me to break up a process into smaller pieces and then have one big pipeline that controls these smaller pipelines.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
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.

Program Manager at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Facilitates API exposure securely and highlights developer portal flexibility needs
Not much stands out for me regarding the advantages of this product. We usually don't tinker with it. Developing developer portals could be more standards-based. I think currently it's Ruby-based. Having more options on designing that would be beneficial. Additional flexibility would have been great; we would have used it more if it aligned with our platform. I don't use the analytics part. We don't use monetization features, which help to create a revenue generation model.

Has automated manual tasks and simplified integration with pre-built connectors while supporting AI use cases
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.
