The solution is stable, scalable, and flexible
I rate the solution eight out of ten. The number of people required to maintain the solution is dependent on the other applications running. The solution in itself does not require a lot of maintenance. The solution is flexible and I recommend it when you have more complex applications with special requirements.

Automation has transformed daily operations and now delivers faster, more accurate data flows
The best features in SnapLogic are the drag-and-drop interface which makes it easy to build data and application flows. No heavy coding is required, making it ideal for both technical and non-technical users. SnapLogic also offers pre-built snaps, real-time and batch processing, API management and integration, cloud and hybrid support, dashboarding and monitoring, error handling and retry mechanisms, scalability, security and governance, and transformation capabilities with built-in functions to clean and transform data, expressions, aggregations, and mappings. SnapLogic offers auto-mapping and smart schema detection as additional features. SnapLogic can detect schemas automatically, which helps when sources evolve or change, and this matters because there is less manual mapping work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"The SAS/ACCESS ability to connect creates an elegant simplicity."
"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"There are cheaper tools on the market, but when you compare what they offer with what SnapLogic offers, you will find that you may pay a little more for SnapLogic, but you get a lot more in return."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."
"SnapLogic is very user-friendly."
"The solution has solved many problems for our customers and has improved their operations."
 

Cons

"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"The primary way that this product can be improved is by adjusting their pricing model."
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."
"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
"The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."
"I used the free trial."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"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."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
