Azure Automation vs SnapLogic comparison

"Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks."

"The most valuable feature of Azure Automation is the scripting."

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

"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."

"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."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"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."

"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."

"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"

"Deployment with Azure Automation can be challenging at times, though sometimes it is very easy."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."

"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The support is the most important improvement they could make."

"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"

"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."

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

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

"I used the free trial."

"The license model is based on consumption."

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

"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."
