Room For Improvement

Layer7 API Management needs improvements in UI, documentation, integration, functionality, training, policy tools, monitoring, reporting, and migration.
SnapLogic needs improved integrations, processing, transparency, support, AI, and performance for better user experience and large data handling.
Broadcom's push for upgrades from version nine to ten, ten to 10.3, and onwards to twelve needs improvement in migration processes, especially with service dependencies.
If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy to learn for new users, it would be greatly beneficial.

They can improve more visuals, with graphical representations, such as how many things can be added, how many users can be added or dropped, and how the back-end nodes can be graphically shown in a better way.

Some advanced features lack detailed documentation, and debugging complex pipelines could be more intuitive.

Setup Cost

Layer7 API Management offers competitive pricing with Essential and Enterprise tiers, though perceived costly for smaller enterprises.
SnapLogic's pricing, though moderate to high, offers scalability and value for complex integrations with its flexible, usage-based licensing.
Seeing other products makes the tool's pricing seem high.
I would say the pricing is on the higher side, but it aligns with the capabilities offered for mid- to large integrations.
Global Head - DevOps and AIOps Startegist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower.

SnapLogic is positioned at around seven or eight out of ten in terms of pricing.

Valuable Features

Layer7 API Management excels with robust security, scalability, and features like content routing and drag-and-drop functionality.
SnapLogic simplifies low-code development with drag-and-drop tools, pre-built snaps, and seamless integration, enhancing efficiency and user experience.
The flexibility to develop APIs for various platforms, from front-end applications to ATM machines, is valuable.
The drag-and-drop builder and pre-built snaps have helped our team through a very low-code approach, making it easier for us to develop fast pipelines and be more agile compared to the heavier integration platforms we used before.
Global Head - DevOps and AIOps Startegist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
I also like the whole child-parent pipeline feature; it allows me to break up a process into smaller pieces and then have one big pipeline that controls these smaller pipelines.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI.

Has automated manual tasks and simplified integration with pre-built connectors while supporting AI use cases
The tool is very user-friendly and not complex to understand. The structure of the platform is easy to understand, and we can build multiple systems with low-code, no-code, so it doesn't require much coding language. Now it is moving more into APIs, so we can create APIs to transfer data, which we can manage. It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI. With those Snaps, we can integrate and move more into the AI world. SnapLogic is hosted on Groundplex and AWS cloud. It has pre-built connectors, which we call Snaps. That is very helpful to connect with multiple systems. We have a dashboard monitor that is very graphical. We can measure exact times in seconds and how much time it took to complete the process. With that help, it's really helpful to see how much memory consumption is utilized. The monitor structure has very good features for SnapLogic. SnapLogic is an integration tool which we use to integrate multiple systems such as source system, target system, cloud systems, and Groundplex systems. It is an iPaaS tool and a very strong tool. Now it is moving more into APIs and AI/ML tools; it is improving their knowledge. It is helpful for creating SnapLogic agents. In this way, SnapLogic is expanding their work.
