AWS AppSync vs SnapLogic comparison

"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."

"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."

"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."

"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."

"The solution could improve its API management."

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

"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."

"Despite having no prior experience in SnapLogic, we managed to build, test, and prepare it for release in just three hours, handling heavy data efficiently."

"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."

"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."

"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."

"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."

"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."

"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."

"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."

"What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools."

"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."

"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."

"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."

"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, and it is a pay-as-you-go model."

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

"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"

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

"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."

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

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

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

"I used the free trial."
