Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The mapping transformation allows us to connect our on-premise ECC to the cloud system.""The maintenance part can be outsourced easily.""The pre-delivered content from the SAP cloud platform is definitely a strength.""The solution has a lot of great features.""It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well.""The solution can scale.""One of the best features of this solution is that it is web-based and you can log in and work on it from anywhere.""To be able to define multiple sub accounts in order to accommodate and separate development, test, and productive environments."

More SAP Cloud Platform Pros →

"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration.""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 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.""The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy.""The initial setup is very straightforward.""The solution could improve its API management.""It is a stable solution.""The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."

Cons
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment.""I'd like to see more local integration.""It would be helpful to have additional samples for SoapUI that include interface methodologies and templates.""When they innovate too fast, they end up confusing their customers.""I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions.""Planning features are limited to the finance module.""The price of the solution could improve.""The main problem is that there aren't any easy migrations from SAP PO to SAP CPI, so from process orchestration to cloud platform integration."

More SAP Cloud Platform Cons →

"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.""SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use.""The support is the most important improvement they could make.""I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market.""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.""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.""The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Licensing costs for this solution are based on the number of users and the bandwidth."
  • "SAP's pricing is usually high compared to the competition. But this is also justified because they hold their products and services to quite high standards."
  • "The pricing can be negotiated."
  • "The cost when it comes to monitoring can be difficult."
  • "SAP offers yearly, subscription-based, and pay-as-you-use licensing."
  • "Cost-wise, I'm unsure of how expensive the SAP Cloud Platform is."
  • "SAP Cloud Platform costs $2 to $5 per hour, while I found other platforms way more affordable. You have to pay per use, though that's fine because that means the cost is flexible."
  • "The price of the solution depends on the package that is purchased. There are many packages to choose from. The packages are not overly expensive."
  • More SAP Cloud Platform Pricing and Cost Advice →

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

  • "The license model is based on consumption."
  • "I used the free trial."
  • "SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
