The ability to configure rules to check for consistency has helped

Apiary provides a free tier of the platform which allows a small group of developers to collaborate easily on the design of open source APIs. In addition to this, it provides mock endpoints allowing people to experiment with the API without depending or having to stand up a real backend. With our clients, using Apiary allows us to very quickly pull together an API definition (particularly when using API Blueprint). The whole API design process for the simpler use cases can be done in a relatively short workshop which makes it a lot easier to agree, publish, version-manage an API definition with suitable documentation. This can then be evolved and enhanced (particularly in the documentation aspects). With the ability to support Swagger (Open API v2 and introducing/ed support for v3) and API Blueprint makes it a very versatile tool.

Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications

They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This solution has allowed us to standardize API definitions and bring consistency into our shared components, reducing the effort and cost of using functionality across domains within the organization, with Apiary being crucial to our good API strategy."

"The feature I find most valuable is that it offers authentication and allows us to develop communication points."

"Quick and easy way to share a new API design with teams."

"Vey high - very easy API design with no setup effort"

"I find the generation of mock services very useful, especially when demonstrating for new consumers."

"In two years, there was one time the service was down for an hour or so."

"I do like the overall performance of the solution."

"Git integration"

"SnapLogic is a very good tool, and from a usability perspective, it is excellent."

"One of the best features SnapLogic offers is its user-friendly interface."

"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature."

"Everything is very good; it's good for mapping for the company, we have a lot of use cases that we can apply to this solution, and they are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."

"What I found most valuable in SnapLogic is the ETL feature, particularly the Transform Snap Pack, for example, any kind of reading or writing on Transform Snaps. Other than that, all the third-party connectivity tools such as the SAP Snap Pack, Salesforce Snap Pack, Workday Snap Pack, even the ServiceNow Snap Pack, I find all those are pretty useful in SnapLogic."

"The solution is great due to the fact that it is really flexible."

"SnapLogic has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to remove a big risk and cost in removing a legacy integration platform, and we have built the foundations to gain significant efficiencies in our integrations."

"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."

Cons

"Swagger (OpenAPI Specification) and Blueprint Support"

"I don't think this solution is very stable so we try to manage stability from our side."

"Better Swagger support."

"The Oracle release cycle is very bad because the patches only update once a year."

"Validation messages could be a bit clearer."

"I would like an integrated option to download a Swagger version of the definition."

"Ultra Pipelines is great in terms of real-time ingestion and real-time jobs but it needs some adjustment."

"SnapLogic can be improved by not keeping some of the connectors that would be very useful as a premium connector."

"I do think some of the documentation could be improved as it can be a bit hard to parse, and sometimes there are simply not as many examples of things or ways to use some of the snaps as there could be."

"The changes in the UI and the way things keep moving around mean that a level of stability would help achieve a higher adoption ratio."

"That said, while the SnapLogic technical managers are very good, the support model isn't great and should improve."

"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control."

"When we face errors in the existing scheduler run, we cannot trace the logs."

"One of the areas for improvement in SnapLogic is that the connectors for some of the applications should be more available in terms of testing in the dev environment. Another area for improvement is that the logging should be standardized, for example, the integration with an ELK stack should be required out-of-the-box, so you can ship the log and have it in the ELK stack. There should be integration with ELK stack for the log shipping."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a free subscription option to start and try the service."

"It is easy to get started with personal (free) accounts, but a subscription is required for additional features."

"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."

"The license model is based on consumption."

"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."

"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."

"The pricing is okay."

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."

"I used the free trial."
