We performed a comparison between IBM API Connect and SnapLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a very scalable solution."
"The services that I consume through IBM API Connect are beneficial. It can handle multiple API management."
"This solution is ready to scale and already supports our agile CICD."
"The solution provides a common place for all APIs, allowing for easy sharing and exchange of information between internal and external stakeholders."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is very easy to use and is something that is easily configurable."
"Scalable and stable API platform for creating and managing APIs."
"The technical support is good. Whenever we need anything, we have our IT team work with IBM to change whatever requirement is needed."
"IBM API Connect is a reliable and scalable solution."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"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 solution could improve its API management."
"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."
"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."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"It is a stable solution."
"I would like to see support for non-Java based services. We struggle a bit to be able to deploy and connect our .NET services because of things like data types. We had to map a couple of things. For one solution provider, we had to move them to .NET Core before we could use it properly. I would like to see more agnostic tool service platforms rather than moving it more towards Java or open source."
"IBM info-center help documentation also needs improvement. Competitive product like Apigee provide out of the box policies to run Javascript, JAVA and better/flexible logging policies."
"The implementation process could benefit from improvements, as it may take some time to become accustomed to the deployment."
"The installation process could use improvement. I hope that in the next release, the installation process is easier."
"The automation and the simplicity could be improved."
"There are issues with upgrading in the cloud version. The cloud version is extremely buggy. We prefer to use the on-premise version."
"One thing about API Connect that could be improved is the security schemes. There are so many security schemes, and from a product perspective, IBM could improve the user experience of the configuration security scheme."
"It needs to be less taxing on compute resources."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"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."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"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."
