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 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 most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"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."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"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."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
 

Cons

"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 pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"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."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
 

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."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"I used the free trial."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
