Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications
They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It’s a great product, extremely versatile but takes a certain skillset to use and implementation of automation can be time consuming when done properly."
"The benefits are the efficiency we achieve with such a product, as we could automate processes which were done in the past by humans, speeding up the reaction by 10 times and saving us a lot of money."
"The value lies in just being able to automate things such that there's less human interaction and, therefore, more consistency in our automations."
"They were good, they helped us a lot from the beginning, from installation through the whole process, and not just their support, but also their professional services are top notch."
"For our use it really does very well; it provides us exactly what we need, and it runs with low-resource utilization and moves quickly."
"CA Process Automation manager is a very powerful production tool."
"If you’re planning or looking for an application able to create process automation, stop looking."
"We took our server provisioning process from about 30 days to about 4 days on the first iteration of implementation."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"The best features SnapLogic offers include a fantastic interface, and being able to drag and drop and connect core components with minimal configuration and coding is really helpful and streamlines the deployment process."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"Using SnapLogic saves a lot of time when we develop pipelines, and importing data from Excel systems, especially when dealing with thousands of records, takes minimal time, which improves customer satisfaction as professional services teams successfully migrate legacy products to the latest ones."
"With SnapLogic, you can cut down the delivery times and send high volumes."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to remove a big risk and cost in removing a legacy integration platform, and we have built the foundations to gain significant efficiencies in our integrations."
"Everything is very good; it's good for mapping for the company, we have a lot of use cases that we can apply to this solution, and they are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
 

Cons

"It’s very complex, which is one of the disadvantages."
"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality."
"CA offers minimal public information pertaining to the performance drain the usage of some objects and operators introduce to processing."
"The solution engine is in Java. Regardless of developments, the solution will always be limited to what Java offers."
"Although it's drag-and-drop, there's a little bit of a learning curve to use it correctly."
"These configurations can be changed only through the installation wizard. There's no way to update such information in the administration interface, which is, in my opinion, very bad."
"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."
"OCR capability should be added as a feature."
"As for improvements, the monitor that I currently use sometimes gets stuck and I am not able to expand and view the child pipelines in a much easier way."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"In the future, SnapLogic can make connectors with LLM connectors which are available recently. They can work on that aspect. Sometimes those connectors have low performance or don't generate accurate results, so that can be improved."
"As for SnapLogic's AI capabilities regarding accuracy and reliability of output, I can say we currently have eighty percent reliability and accuracy, which I think is good, and it would be better if we could improve more, but currently it is eighty percent from my perspective."
"I do not have much idea on how SnapLogic can be improved, but from a user interface perspective, if it were improved in a more user-friendly way, it would be more helpful."
"While SnapLogic is powerful, there are several areas for improvement that could enhance user experience."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"We have hit some snags, but we believe that is more on our CRM side than SnapLogic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"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."
"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."
"I used the free trial."
