Finance Business Process Improvement, Transformation and Project Management at a consultancy with self employed

Eliminates replication and allows you to use only one database, speeding up performance and reducing amount of storage

The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades. As a company, you're either hiring or paying an outsourcer to do that, and you have to manage it, keep up with the updates to the hardware, software, and the operating system. It's very expensive because there's a lot to control and take care of.

Architect at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Migration projects have accelerated data processing and now require better latency and support

The latency is the biggest issue across iPaaS. That is the important part. I have worked not only with SnapLogic, but also with MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, and Jitterbit. They are all fine, but they have different kinds of functionality. They all have similar kinds of problems in different domains. But as I mentioned, SnapLogic has a little bit of an edge because of its functionality and inbuilt functions for Fintech, as compared to the others. This I can say firmly. They need to assess themselves. In this day and age, as I mentioned earlier, terabytes of data need to be read and then have a quick turnaround for downstream systems, especially for GenAI or any LLMs. Then they can definitely improve themselves because right now, most things, in fact, the GenAI, ChatGPT, Cloud, Anthropic, and so many others, require data quality with perfection and more precision. But for all of that, we require a data pipeline that can be read without latency and without any delay, for any reason. So if they can improvise that over the cloud, that would be really fantastic and a really good achievement for them. Not only for them, but for the customer as well. Then no matter what, people cannot leave SnapLogic. They need to be there with the snaps. I don't know much about that. I haven't referred to the documentation that much. But support is something that is pretty obviously required, rather than just providing videos. Technical support is required. The roadmap also needs to be very clearly mentioned and specified. Be specific in which domain they are going to do what, if they are coming out with that roadmap. Otherwise, overall, if they are going to improve their entire system as I mentioned earlier, for the reusability concept and the data pipeline concept, then they will definitely do some magic in the future. From the HR point of view, or for HR tech, improvement is required. A couple of connectors are not working with all the relevant APIs, and there is always a restriction in terms of fetching the data. So that is why I chose six. From the Fintech point of view, if you are asking on a scale of one to 10, then I would give it an eight out of 10. It is a huge one. There is always a margin for improvement, so that is why I chose eight. If you talk about HR, sales, or any other domain, there is a significant amount of improvement required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."

"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."

"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."

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

"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."

"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."

"It is a scalable solution."

"It is a stable solution."

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

"I would tell others looking into using SnapLogic to use it, take it, use it, and use it, because you can't go beyond SnapLogic and SnapLogic is not going to give you any kind of bad experience, definitely."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

More SnapLogic pros

Cons

"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."

"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."

"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."

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."

More SnapLogic cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."

"It's a very expensive solution."

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

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

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

"The license model is based on consumption."

"I used the free trial."

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