Eugene Paden - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

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.
FrankHo - PeerSpot reviewer
Though the tool offers a visually appealing UI, it needs to improve its documentation
With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation. The product has many bugs, so users have to wait for a period ranging from five minutes to an hour to see where the Zap went. In Zapier, Zaps aren't very understandable owing to the way they work. As a user, you would think that in Zapier, a Zap works in a particular way once you set it up, but it won't happen. At times, some Zaps can interfere with each other, because of which there might be infinite loops that may occur, owing to which multiple Zaps continue to run or break down in general, after which nothing would run in your environment. You would not be notified about the breakdown of Zaps. The bugs in the product may be considered to understand or get an explanation of how Zaps works between software systems, so for something between Gmail and HubSpot, Zapier would explain through better documentation what would work and what wouldn't work. Maybe if Zapier had better functionality with Python or any other coding language in general, it would make the product a lot better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"The platform is user-friendly."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."
"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"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."
"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."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
"The ability to connect web applications to trigger actions in another app after having enriched, formatted, delayed, grouped, and filtered is really valuable for many businesses."
"Zapier is a really good tool for connecting multiple different platforms and data sources. For example, with Quickbase, I can easily integrate data from other sources like AWS or task-tracking platforms such as ClickUp or Asana."
"The product's most valuable feature is automation."
"We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
 

Cons

"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"It crashes if we run high-volume integration."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"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."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"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."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"Zapier needs to improve in the same way most RPA solutions should, such as Robocorp, Make, or UiPath. They are not good at helping you find the connections that you need for the problem that you have. For example, if need something on Instagram. I'm going to have to do research for hours to be able to find the components or the app, which is going to do what I need it to do. It makes it difficult to use the system when you don't know what to use."
"The pricing could be a little cheaper."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"Some apps are not available yet. For instance, a connection with Joomla! would be great. In general, all the most-used apps are available, but I bumped into Joomla! with a client."
"System-to-system is fine, but when it comes to system-to-user, where Zapier is helping to communicate to a user, that's a one-way communication. If that user has to perform some action on that notification, the action isn't handled by Zapier. So there's no way to orchestrate that and it's very cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Approximately 20k annually."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"I used the free trial."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"The pricing is okay."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"It's very affordable."
"The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks."
"Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
"It's very straightforward licensing. There's only one cost you have to pay, and if you want a relevant pricing plan, I think you have two or three different models or packages which include the number of notifications or Zaps, as they call it, that you can program."
"Zapier is a paid service. Its license renews monthly, and Zapier will downgrade your subscription to the free version when your credit card doesn't have funds. That significantly impacts your service because everything halts completely. Zapier doesn't have any hidden costs."
"Zapier's price is good."
"There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
