SAS Access vs SnapLogic comparison

"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 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 SAS/ACCESS ability to connect creates an elegant simplicity."

"Despite having no prior experience in SnapLogic, we managed to build, test, and prepare it for release in just three hours, handling heavy data efficiently."

"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."

"What I found most valuable in SnapLogic is the ETL feature, particularly the Transform Snap Pack, for example, any kind of reading or writing on Transform Snaps. Other than that, all the third-party connectivity tools such as the SAP Snap Pack, Salesforce Snap Pack, Workday Snap Pack, even the ServiceNow Snap Pack, I find all those are pretty useful in SnapLogic."

"With SnapLogic, you can cut down the delivery times and send high volumes."

"Everything is very good; it's good for mapping for the company, we have a lot of use cases that we can apply to this solution, and they are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."

"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."

"SnapLogic delivers measurable ROI through time savings, 70% fewer errors, faster processes, and significant cost reductions while enabling scalable automations across our systems."

"It is a stable solution."

"The primary way that this product can be improved is by adjusting their pricing model."

"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."

"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."

"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 pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."

"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control."

"What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools."

"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."

"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."

"That said, while the SnapLogic technical managers are very good, the support model isn't great and should improve."

"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."

"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."

"We'd like zero downtime in the future."

"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 pricing is okay."

"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."

"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."

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."

"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."

"I used the free trial."
