Ease of creating APIs with ongoing updates needed for automation
AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs. The ease of use is a main advantage, allowing even beginners to start from scratch and learn through AppSync. Before AWS, developing and managing APIs was quite complex. AWS provided AppSync, which assists developers and startup founders. Startups blooming everywhere benefit from this service, welcoming those who lack prior knowledge. When working on AWS, I notice that Amazon regularly implements new features. For instance, with the Lambda service, AWS is transitioning from an old editor to a new one. Similarly, AppSync frequently introduces updates and changes. This trend is making the user interface more accessible, even for individuals without a technical background. Additionally, the cost is attractive, as AWS operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. These factors make AppSync both easy to use and cost-effective.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"AWS has made it easy for developers like me to create and manage GraphQL APIs."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"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."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"SnapLogic has helped automate manual data transfers, improved workflow efficiency, and significantly reduced the integration development timelines, which is a measurable outcome."
 

Cons

"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."
"In AppSync, assigning roles and permissions to APIs is necessary for accessing other AWS services. Automating this task when creating APIs would be beneficial."
"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"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."
"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."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
"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

"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."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"The pricing is okay."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
