Oracle Big Data SQL vs SnapLogic comparison

"This solution can maintain a large volume of data and is flexible to what data it can handle. The performance is very good."

"The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"It is a scalable 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."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

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

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

"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing."

"The solution could improve by adding more advanced features."

"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"

"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."

"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."

"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"The license model is based on consumption."

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."

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

"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."

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

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

"The pricing is okay."
