We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange and SnapLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"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."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"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."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"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 doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"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."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
