Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable solution.""The initial setup is very straightforward.""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.""The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop.""It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase.""SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Boomi in terms of debugging. You can move the mouse to a place, and it will record and show the data easily.""They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements.""It is a stable solution."

More SnapLogic Pros →

"It has the ability to be deployed into the cloud through Data Factory, and run completely as a software as a service in the cloud.""Overall, it's a good product.""SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity.""The solution is stable.""It has good data integration and good processes.""It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft.""Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture.""The scalability of SSIS is good."

Cons
"The support is the most important improvement they could make.""The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement.""We'd like zero downtime in the future.""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.""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.""One of the areas for improvement in SnapLogic is that the connectors for some of the applications should be more available in terms of testing in the dev environment. Another area for improvement is that the logging should be standardized, for example, the integration with an ELK stack should be required out-of-the-box, so you can ship the log and have it in the ELK stack. There should be integration with ELK stack for the log shipping.""Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."

More SnapLogic Cons →

"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package.""I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors.""This solution needs full support for real-time processing.""It hangs a lot of the time.""There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed.""Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them.""Microsoft should offer an on-premises support warranty for those using that deployment. They seem to be withdrawing from on-premises options.""Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
  • "By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
  • "The license model is based on consumption."
  • "I used the free trial."
  • "SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
  • More SnapLogic Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
  • "My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
  • "This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
  • "It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
  • "Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
  • "We have an enterprise license for this solution."
  • "It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
  • "All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

    Technology has made it easier for businesses to organize and manipulate data to get a clearer picture of what’s going on with their business. Notably, ETL tools have made managing huge amounts of data significantly easier and faster, boosting many organizations’ business intelligence operations There are many third-party vendors offering ETL solutions, but two of the most popular are PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services). Each technology has its advantages but there are also similarities on how they carry out the extract-transform-load processes and only differ in terminologies. If you’re in the process of choosing ETL tools and PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS made it to your shortlist, here is a short comparative discussion detailing the differences between the two, as well as their benefits. Package Configuration Most enterprise data integration projects would require the capacity to develop a solution in one platform and test and deploy it in a separate environment without having to manually change the established workflow. In order to achieve this seamless movement between two environments, your ETL technology should allow the dynamic update of the project’s properties using the content or a parameter file or configuration. Both Informatica and SSIS support this functionality using different methodologies. In Informatica, every session can have more than one source and one or more destination connections. There are… Read more →

    I've found Matillion to be very intuitive and easy to use...

    I wish I could answer that question, but my expertise is limited to SSIS only.

    As far as I know 'talend' could be a better choice compare to the other tools.

    Informatica is the way forward

    it depends on the infrastructure you are using and what's the total cost of ownership being authorized for the implementation. You can see the "Data Integration" partners within AWS-Redshift in the below link-
    aws.amazon.com

    Informatica undoubtedly is one of the best in the list. It's a great ETL tool but surely expensive in License.

    Microsoft's SSIS is a light weight tool but not as robust as Informatica. Certain other software's like Talend and Matillion are also good. Talend has an open source option where developers can build their own APIs and then productionize those APIs and that's cost effective as well.

    Traditionally SQL is a plus, automation is only by a ETL is smarter.

    Any ETL tool that moves data to it's own server for processing will add overhead and will not use Redshift's power ( more specifically parallelism). It is recommended to use standard SQL for data processing.
