Dan Campeanu - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at ProVision
Automates tasks and manages multiple servers from a central location
The initial setup was quite complex. It required careful preparation of installation steps, as many tasks were not automated as expected. Special attention was needed to prepare groups, users, and permissions at each step to ensure a smooth setup process. Please do so accurately to avoid having to start over. Challenges encountered during deployment included issues with installation and configuration and difficulties detecting machines and executing tasks as expected. Some solutions were found through trial and error during installation, while others were discovered through recommendations from other users. Despite these challenges, the deployment and rollout of Orchestrator took approximately one and a half months to ensure proper functionality.

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

"It can manage multiple servers and workstations from a single location."
"Automation is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"SnapLogic is a very good tool, and from a usability perspective, it is excellent."
"SnapLogic is very user-friendly."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually, making it extremely easy to connect to various business systems and product integrations rapidly."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"SnapLogic takes products such as BizTalk and Dell Boomi to another level, and I think that's one of the things that has really helped people engage and work with the product."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted our organization by providing an alternative to Informatica, which was challenging due to licensing and other issues."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization as it is my primary automation platform and integrations, touching pretty much all of my major systems."
 

Cons

"I find the Orchestrator UI to be problematic."
"The product's management aspect needs enhancement."
"They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"I think that the biggest improvement needed for SnapLogic would be the learning curve. Without the use of the GPT, I think we would have really struggled as a business to adopt it."
"After execution, it is challenging to know how much data has been processed, and there is a need for better AI integration since it lags behind other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"We obtained a license that bundled Windows Server with System Center at no additional cost."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"The pricing is okay."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
