Featured Reviews

VinethSuresh - PeerSpot reviewer
Achieves rapid results in data migration and has an intuitive user interface
I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL. The interface is interactive, allowing me to quickly learn how to run pipelines and achieve production-ready results swiftly. This agility translates to cost savings, especially for smaller projects and proofs of concept, as less time and effort are needed to deliver results.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"It is a stable solution."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"Stability feels fine."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
 

Cons

"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"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."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"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."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"There is a need for mastery in some areas."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"It is an open-source product."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
