Support for human tasks despite challenges with protocols and adapters

It depends on your needs. Oracle BPEL is suitable for enterprise-wide systems. However, if you're building something smaller or don't know precisely what you need, it's better to start with something smaller. Oracle is a comprehensive bundle, and buying it exclusively for Oracle BPEL doesn't make sense. I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

Achieves rapid results in data migration and has an intuitive user interface

I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL. The interface is interactive, allowing me to quickly learn how to run pipelines and achieve production-ready results swiftly. This agility translates to cost savings, especially for smaller projects and proofs of concept, as less time and effort are needed to deliver results.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very seamless and fast."

"What I find the most valuable about Oracle BPEL is that it saves me time."

"The product has everything we need."

"The most valuable feature is the support for human tasks."

"The solution could improve its API management."

"It is a scalable solution."

"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."

"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."

"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."

"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"

"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."

"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."

More SnapLogic pros

Cons

"They need to have support for new protocols like GraphQL and possibly some out-of-the-box adapters for SAP and other big systems."

"Some user-defined functions for transformation must be added to the next release of the solution."

"The solution's integration with SAP should be seamless because some formats are not accepted in SAP but are accepted in Oracle BPEL."

"In the next release, I would like to see REST improved and new technologies for microservices. I'd like to see more containers for separating containers."

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

"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."

"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."

"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is moderate and not expensive."

"The product is moderately priced."

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

"I used the free trial."

"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."

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

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

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