Featured Reviews

Robert Heck - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
VinethSuresh - PeerSpot reviewer
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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those 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 most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"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."
 

Cons

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"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."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"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."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"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 problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
 

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."
"The pricing is okay."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"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."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"I used the free trial."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
