Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.
VinethSuresh - PeerSpot reviewer
Achieves rapid results in data migration and has an intuitive user interface
I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL. The interface is interactive, allowing me to quickly learn how to run pipelines and achieve production-ready results swiftly. This agility translates to cost savings, especially for smaller projects and proofs of concept, as less time and effort are needed to deliver results.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"The user interface is easy to use."
"Development of forms and flows."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"The user interface is better than all of the open-source BPMs that I have tried."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
 

Cons

"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"There is a need for more components in the library and additional customization options for these components."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"It is missing some important features that other products have."
"We are struggling a bit with integrations."
"Bonita must add a rule engine. We are a 360-degree partner of Bonita. We can integrate with any kind of rule engine. We have a dashboard related to engine performance, but getting a configurable dashboard for the Buildium or transactional data will add value."
"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"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."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"I used the free trial."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"The pricing is okay."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
