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

"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."

"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature."

"My teams can connect to new partners and data sources in hours, not days."

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

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."

"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."

"It is a scalable solution."

"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."

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."

"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."

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

"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."

"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."

"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."

"As for improvements, the monitor that I currently use sometimes gets stuck and I am not able to expand and view the child pipelines in a much easier way."

"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."

"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."

"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."

"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."

"I used the free trial."

"The license model is based on consumption."

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

"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."

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

"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
