Manager for Implementation and Administration at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Has faced challenges with visibility and technical support but allows centralized management of multiple sites

The configuration part is complex for F5 BIG-IQ. The simplicity and visibility part needs improvement. The dashboard, especially the analytics part, needs to be more simple and presentable. For the security part, it is difficult to present to our management, so we have to capture it and prepare manual reporting options rather than getting them directly from the system. The automation part in F5 BIG-IQ is limited; we are still using it only for load balancing for some services. We haven't integrated it with our Accesso or implemented any automation options. The setup process for F5 BIG-IQ would rate a five out of ten.

Technical Specialist App Development at Birlasoft IndiaLtd.

Has automated manual tasks and simplified integration with pre-built connectors while supporting AI use cases

The tool is very user-friendly and not complex to understand. The structure of the platform is easy to understand, and we can build multiple systems with low-code, no-code, so it doesn't require much coding language. Now it is moving more into APIs, so we can create APIs to transfer data, which we can manage. It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI. With those Snaps, we can integrate and move more into the AI world. SnapLogic is hosted on Groundplex and AWS cloud. It has pre-built connectors, which we call Snaps. That is very helpful to connect with multiple systems. We have a dashboard monitor that is very graphical. We can measure exact times in seconds and how much time it took to complete the process. With that help, it's really helpful to see how much memory consumption is utilized. The monitor structure has very good features for SnapLogic. SnapLogic is an integration tool which we use to integrate multiple systems such as source system, target system, cloud systems, and Groundplex systems. It is an iPaaS tool and a very strong tool. Now it is moving more into APIs and AI/ML tools; it is improving their knowledge. It is helpful for creating SnapLogic agents. In this way, SnapLogic is expanding their work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The GUI is fine, at least from an engineer's perspective."

"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."

"We mainly use F5 BIG-IQ to protect our web-based applications, such as our email and website, so we use it as a web-based application firewall for those services."

"F5 BIG-IQ is a central management system for the BIG-IP."

"The product is excellent."

"We use this solution on a daily basis, and it is very stable."

"It is quite good in a large environment where I have multiple devices; it is easy to manage the devices."

"The most valuable features are load balancing and WAF."

More F5 BIG-IQ pros

"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."

"It is a stable solution."

"SnapLogic has helped automate manual data transfers, improved workflow efficiency, and significantly reduced the integration development timelines, which is a measurable outcome."

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."

"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."

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

More SnapLogic pros

Cons

"From a hands-on experience perspective, more resources should be available on the Internet, like labs and lab preparations."

"For stability, F5 BIG-IQ rates a two or three because currently we are integrating it with our third party as a port forwarding service. We created many VIPs, but on average, weekly, we lose three to five connections, making the troubleshooting part a headache for us."

"There are a lot of scripts available on the internet for people who know how to use them, but with a graphical interface, it would be easier for new users."

"Sometimes the solution does not work."

"F5 BIG-IQ should improve by being a complete certificate management solution because currently, it is only for Venafi. Other automation platforms, should be added."

"The solution's rSeries has been made free, and iSeries should be made free as well."

"F5 BIG-IQ is a complex solution, and it cannot manage everything related to BIG-IPs."

"They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us."

More F5 BIG-IQ cons

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

"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."

"Some advanced features lack detailed documentation, and debugging complex pipelines could be more intuitive."

"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."

"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."

"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."

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

"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."

More SnapLogic cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay an annual subscription fee for the solution's iSeries."

"F5 BIG-IQ is a cheap solution."

"There is only one licensing fee for F5 BIG-IQ and everything is included in the price."

"I would like the product to be cheaper."

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

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

"I used the free trial."

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

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."

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

"The license model is based on consumption."

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