Co Owner at Hecht und Heck GmbH
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.

Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications
They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

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 feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"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 SAS/ACCESS ability to connect creates an elegant simplicity."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"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."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization as it is my primary automation platform and integrations, touching pretty much all of my major systems."
"SnapLogic is a robust, scalable, and user-friendly platform that has helped us to reduce development time, automate many business processes, and support enterprise growth, especially with low-code, no-code capabilities and broader connector options, more than 600."
"It is a scalable solution."
"If a company needs to use SnapLogic, first they need to consider why they need it, and if you have all your applications moving from on-premise to cloud migration, this is one of the best tools for that."
"One of the best features SnapLogic offers is its user-friendly interface."
"My teams can connect to new partners and data sources in hours, not days."
"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."
 

Cons

"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 can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"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."
"We won't get help from technical support."
"One thing I do not like about SnapLogic is some of the pre-built snap packs. If I want to integrate with a new system, I have to pay to get access to those."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
"While SnapLogic is powerful, there are several areas for improvement that could enhance user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."
"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
"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 pricing is okay."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The license model is based on consumption."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
