Key features like SSL uploading strengthen file handling
From the study material point of view, there are multiple certifications available. The challenge is there is hardly any study material available that can be referred to or used as a study material. Of course, from the knowledge perspective, multiple courses and details are available. However, from a hands-on experience perspective, more resources should be available on the Internet, like labs and lab preparations.
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

"The best aspect of the solution is that we can have everything integrated with a rather large capacity in order to personalize and configure specific rules."
"The reporting feature is quite good."
"F5 BIG-IQ is a central management system for the BIG-IP."
"We use this solution on a daily basis, and it is very stable."
"The product is excellent."
"The GUI is fine, at least from an engineer's perspective."
"It is quite good in a large environment where I have multiple devices; it is easy to manage the devices."
"Features like AFM, the gateway, and Global DNS are the coolest features that save work for us."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"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."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Boomi in terms of debugging. You can move the mouse to a place, and it will record and show the data easily."
"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."
 

Cons

"I had trouble with high availability deployment in my environment."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"F5 BIG-IQ is a complex solution, and it cannot manage everything related to BIG-IPs."
"The shell, kernel, or Linux has something like a delay, especially with the Virtual Edition, when you are trying to implement it in the cloud and you want to access it remotely with web management. It would be great if they could improve their kernel. It was difficult for me, especially when I got started with BIG-IP. I was struggling to find which commands work with it. If you want to work with it, you have to be a Linux guy."
"Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on."
"The solution should improve pricing. It's expensive in comparison to other American solutions."
"They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us."
"From a hands-on experience perspective, more resources should be available on the Internet, like labs and lab preparations."
"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."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is only one licensing fee for F5 BIG-IQ and everything is included in the price."
"Users have to pay an annual subscription fee for the solution's iSeries."
"I would like the product to be cheaper."
"F5 BIG-IQ is a cheap solution."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The pricing is okay."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"I used the free trial."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
