We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and SnapLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"Technical support is good."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"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."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"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 product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"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."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
