Microsoft Azure Logic Apps vs SnapLogic comparison

"The product’s most valuable feature is integration."

"Its notable advantage is its user-friendly UI, which allows easy testing."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the no-code/low-code feature."

"It is a very stable solution."

"Easy to use and is able to integrate with other Azure-based environments."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."

"One special aspect of Azure Logic Apps is its easy integration of various applications, especially when connectors are already available. For instance, there are connectors for database applications and systems like SAP. You can drag and drop the connectors to complete your integration quickly."

"The product has efficient connectors."

"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."

"Despite having no prior experience in SnapLogic, we managed to build, test, and prepare it for release in just three hours, handling heavy data efficiently."

"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 API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."

"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."

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."

"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."

"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."

"In Logic Apps, it supports AJAX and jQuery as commands to filter out to input the parameter. But regular expressions in general aren't supported well. So, I recommend that Logic Apps could be enhanced by supporting regular expressions (RegEx) more comprehensively ."

"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."

"The visual tool that is used to build integration is quite old."

"The scalability could be improved."

"Especially when using a function or a parameter, that could be easier as that's not very well-documented, and it's not very clear from the tool itself how to use it."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps can improve by continually updating the connectors to make them better."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is good for certain types of workloads, but it doesn't offer many customization options."

"Not all connectors are readily available, though. There are two types: managed connectors and app connectors. Some connectors require you to provide a username and password to connect to platforms like SharePoint or Salesforce. Due to security constraints, some users may prefer not to use these connectors. Instead, they might opt for the HTTP connector."

"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."

"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."

"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."

"What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools."

"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."

"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."

"The support is the most important improvement they could make."

"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."

"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."

"The licensing is cheaper because, compared to other services, Azure services are much cheaper and affordable."

"It is a cost-efficient platform."

"Logic Apps is cheap with its pay-as-you-go model. We only pay for usage time, no license fees. So Logic Apps is good in that aspect."

"The cost of the solution could be cheaper."

"It's very cheap, but it comes with pluses and minuses. The positive thing is that it's very cheap, but on the other hand, it's extremely hard to tell how much it will cost. At the start of the project, it's almost impossible to tell how many times you will be calling some kind of Logic App function. You cannot state how much of the internet transfer you will use or how much data your will use."

"The pricing is not expensive."

"The product pricing aligns well with the value and capabilities offered by Azure services."

"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."

"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."

"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."

"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."

"I used the free trial."

"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."

"The pricing is okay."
