Robert Heck - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
SameerShaikh - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Specialist App Development at Birlasoft IndiaLtd.
Has automated manual tasks and simplified integration with pre-built connectors while supporting AI use cases
The tool is very user-friendly and not complex to understand. The structure of the platform is easy to understand, and we can build multiple systems with low-code, no-code, so it doesn't require much coding language. Now it is moving more into APIs, so we can create APIs to transfer data, which we can manage. It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI. With those Snaps, we can integrate and move more into the AI world. SnapLogic is hosted on Groundplex and AWS cloud. It has pre-built connectors, which we call Snaps. That is very helpful to connect with multiple systems. We have a dashboard monitor that is very graphical. We can measure exact times in seconds and how much time it took to complete the process. With that help, it's really helpful to see how much memory consumption is utilized. The monitor structure has very good features for SnapLogic. SnapLogic is an integration tool which we use to integrate multiple systems such as source system, target system, cloud systems, and Groundplex systems. It is an iPaaS tool and a very strong tool. Now it is moving more into APIs and AI/ML tools; it is improving their knowledge. It is helpful for creating SnapLogic agents. In this way, SnapLogic is expanding their 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 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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SnapLogic has helped automate manual data transfers, improved workflow efficiency, and significantly reduced the integration development timelines, which is a measurable outcome."
"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 API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"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."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"Some advanced features lack detailed documentation, and debugging complex pipelines could be more intuitive."
"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."
"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."
 

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."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
