Flowgear vs SnapLogic comparison

"The solution has increased efficiency and productivity and saved us time and money."

"It has improved our integration with our data supplier."

"Great for data flow."

"The Flowgear tool is helping us reduce the manual work that is done."

"The no-code visual front end, along with pre-built samples, allows someone with very little technical ability to get an integration up and running."

"Well-managed version control of workflows and the simplicity in promoting workflows through each environment has aided my team in developing workflows for various environments without the risk of losing development work."

"Being able to seamlessly make changes to how one can do mapping visually without having to be a seasoned developer is great."

"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."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"Despite having no prior experience in SnapLogic, we managed to build, test, and prepare it for release in just three hours, handling heavy data efficiently."

"The solution could improve its API management."

"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."

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

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

"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."

"We would like to see more learning videos for beginners."

"The product would be nice if it could provide the deployment features in the lower packages."

"The product needs to improve the self-help tools and samples."

"The initial setup was a bit complex as we were new."

"Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required."

"The software itself needs to keep up with the daily demand to service all clients as the need arises."

"The UI could be improved."

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

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

"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."

"The support is the most important improvement they could make."

"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."

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

"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."

"I used the free trial."

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

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

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

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

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