SnapLogic vs Talend Data Fabric comparison

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

"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."

"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."

"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."

"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"The initial setup is very easy."

"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."

"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."

"We've had no issues with the stability so far."

"Everything in Talend Data Fabric is GUI-based, making it very user-friendly and easy to learn quickly."

"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."

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

"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."

"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."

"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."

"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."

"The support is not very good. The team is not well-trained, and resolving a ticket can require several discussions."

"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."

"I would like to see better integration with other tools."

"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"

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

"The license model is based on consumption."

"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."

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

"The pricing is okay."

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

"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"

"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."
