Merge has streamlined change data capture and supports cost‑effective ELT hiring flexibility
Regarding optimization, I have observed that on the Snowflake side, with Merge being used on a table that has micro partitions and has been well maintained, the statement execution will be very fast. This helps in both cost savings and performance-wise optimization. It would be beneficial if there is a common public community so that people who may not be aware of this will become more aware. Additionally, when we do joins within the Merge statement, there is always a chance of getting duplicates. Snowflake added a feature called QUALIFY that allows us to filter based on ranking and eliminate duplicate records. If such a feature were available in regular Merge statements within any database, that would be helpful. This would eliminate the need to rebuild another subquery inside the Merge statement.

Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications
They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Merge has positively impacted my organization by being extremely useful and allowing me to review multiple files at increased speed."
"One significant advantage is the ability to go with open source and not depend on proprietary ETL tools, which saves licensing costs and allows me to hire broadly for common SQL and data warehousing skills instead of niche tool expertise."
"The solution is great due to the fact that it is really flexible."
"SnapLogic delivers measurable ROI through time savings, 70% fewer errors, faster processes, and significant cost reductions while enabling scalable automations across our systems."
"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"The solution has solved many problems for our customers and has improved their operations."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development."
"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."
 

Cons

"Merge could be improved in terms of scriptability, as I recall it was not as strong as Beyond Compare in this regard."
"Additionally, when we do joins within the Merge statement, there is always a chance of getting duplicates."
"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."
"While SnapLogic is powerful, there are several areas for improvement that could enhance user experience."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"I find the learning curve for complex transformations, the debugging experience, performance optimization visibility, cost for small teams, and version control and DevOps integration could be improved in SnapLogic."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"Sometimes they are very long and complex and we have to store those in the SQL Execute Snaps. It is a little difficult to work with the SQL text files in those Snaps because they do not have a lot of text editing capabilities."
"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."
