Lauri Vanhanen - PeerSpot reviewer
Development Manager at ELO
Integration platform has simplified logistics workflows and has streamlined complex order handling
The best aspect is that it is very easy to use. The UI is very intuitive, and you can learn it very quickly because the basic principles are straightforward and easy to search. Frends has a great UI, but the UI is missing role-based permissions. You can filter your integrations by roles and add several users to roles, but in the UI, the functionality for this kind of management feature is not optimal. User management or user role management could be improved.

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

"One of the benefits is the speed of creating something new. Second, it's replacing the old integration quite fast. Then it is like the visibility of the integration and the possibility to see what is happening in the integration."
"The best aspect is that it is very easy to use."
"The product has valuable features for version control."
"The user-friendly interface for constructing integration solutions is also a notable benefit."
"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."
"SnapLogic is a very good tool, and from a usability perspective, it is excellent."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"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."
"SnapLogic positively impacts my organization by allowing me to do more application development integration in less time."
"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."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization by costing a lot less than our previous ETLs, saving about 50 percent of our running costs without having done anything, just by using SnapLogic."
"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."
 

Cons

"Logging should be better."
"Another enhancement includes the monitoring part. It would be nice to have some sort of maybe mobile app on which we can see how integrations are running if there are some problems, and getting those alerts on the mobile would be really nice."
"One of the primary areas for improvement is a more mobile-friendly interface for the control center."
"It is a new application and lacks some essential features compared to competitors."
"One thing I do not like about SnapLogic is some of the pre-built snap packs. If I want to integrate with a new system, I have to pay to get access to those."
"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."
"I think that the biggest improvement needed for SnapLogic would be the learning curve. Without the use of the GPT, I think we would have really struggled as a business to adopt it."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"From the HR point of view, or for HR tech, improvement is required. A couple of connectors are not working with all the relevant APIs, and there is always a restriction in terms of fetching the data."
"Sometimes it does take a little time to learn exactly how to ask Snap GPT to get the right response, but this comes quite naturally after some trial and error."
"I do not have much idea on how SnapLogic can be improved, but UI-wise, if the user interface is improved to be more user-friendly, it would be more helpful."
"When it comes to handling large volumes of data or high-throughput workloads, I have mixed opinions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Recent changes in their pricing have removed this benefit, moving towards process-specific pricing."
"The pricing is quite fair."
"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."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"I used the free trial."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
