SnapLogic vs Talend Data Fabric comparison

"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."

"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."

"It is a stable solution."

"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."

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

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

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

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

"The initial setup is very easy."

"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."

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

"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."

"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."

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

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

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."

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

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

"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"The pricing is okay."

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

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

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

"The license model is based on consumption."

"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."
