We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution scales well.""We can scan anything.""It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities.""The product seems stable enough.""The way that the solution scans is very useful.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features.""The metadata management of Informatica is great.""The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool.""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.""They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements.""The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop.""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.""It is a stable solution.""By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot.""The solution could improve its API management."

Cons
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems.""Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface.""The scalability is tough.""The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility.""The solution is quite expensive.""The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen.""IEDC can improve the comparison of lineages."

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement.""They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors.""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.""I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market.""It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps.""Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment.""SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up.""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."
