It lets us create models so we can generate real-time predictions and insights for a our clients

Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing. I would like it if we could set the solution up to process and respond to real-time events. For example, say I want to configure an app to run based on the mileage a car has driven, and I configure the metering system, so the event occurs every 15 days. Let's say we want to automatically send an alert to EMS, police, etc. if a car gets into an accident. Transformation Manager is more of a conventional tool for reporting, extracting volume, bulk loading, etc. but there should be more provisions for dealing with real-time events, creating some insights, and dealing with perishable data. Ten minutes after the accident, the data doesn't have value. It has value before you saved the person.

Automation has transformed daily operations and now delivers faster, more accurate data flows

The best features in SnapLogic are the drag-and-drop interface which makes it easy to build data and application flows. No heavy coding is required, making it ideal for both technical and non-technical users. SnapLogic also offers pre-built snaps, real-time and batch processing, API management and integration, cloud and hybrid support, dashboarding and monitoring, error handling and retry mechanisms, scalability, security and governance, and transformation capabilities with built-in functions to clean and transform data, expressions, aggregations, and mappings. SnapLogic offers auto-mapping and smart schema detection as additional features. SnapLogic can detect schemas automatically, which helps when sources evolve or change, and this matters because there is less manual mapping work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."

"It is among the best, even if not widely known."

"Transformation Manager is the backbone of every data pipeline these days because the solution has been on the market for 20 to 30 years, and we use it for various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, etc."

"It is a reliable solution."

"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."

"The solution has solved many problems for our customers and has improved their operations."

"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually, making it extremely easy to connect to various business systems and product integrations rapidly."

"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."

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

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

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"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."

Cons

"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."

"We get decent support. It's okay but not great."

"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."

"We won't get help from technical support."

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

"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."

"That said, while the SnapLogic technical managers are very good, the support model isn't great and should improve."

"Ultra Pipelines is great in terms of real-time ingestion and real-time jobs but it needs some adjustment."

"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."

"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control."

"We'd like zero downtime in the future."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."

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

Overview

Transformation Manager is an integrated development toolkit that is used to build data migration and data integration solutions more efficiently. A metadata-driven code generator, Transformation Manager provides users with the ability to generate lightweight, easy-to-deploy code. It combines a Graphical User Interface with a statement-driven mapping language. The Transformation Manager software derives metadata from the elements, attributes and relationships in a source and target model. Transformation Manager then uses rules specified by Simple Mapping Language (SML), which is specifically designed for implementing data transformation projects, to generate code written in Java.
