CA Process Automation vs SnapLogic comparison

"This tool is used in my organization for automating IT infrastructure related incidents or service requests."

"It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."

"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."

"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."

"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"

"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."

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

"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."

"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"

"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."

"OCR capability should be added as a feature."

"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."

"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."

"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."

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

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

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

"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."

"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."

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

"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."

"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 are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."

"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

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

"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."

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