The reports and pipelines run, leading to cost savings that reduce manual effort and save 50,000 to 150,000 USD annually.

Suppose there was an issue resolution time of 10 hours for the previous manual effort; now it is reduced to one hour or half an hour.
Integration Consultant at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
The ROI is apparent in terms of business case automation; previously, a bunch of people filled in data in NetSuite or managed stocks between warehouses and Amazon, but now everything is automated, saving time.

That means you can connect any system or application anytime, whether day or night, scheduled or dynamic, and anywhere, whether it is cloud or on-premises.

Room For Improvement

SnapLogic users encounter a steep learning curve, limited tools, integration difficulties, and require improvements in support, usability, and costs.
Improving Temporal's user-friendliness, documentation, visualization, features, and support would enhance usability for beginners and non-technical users.
We require a data pipeline that can be read without latency and without any delay.
Architect at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees
IP whitelisting is the area that SnapLogic definitely has to improve.
Integration Solution Architect at Hitachi Digital
I would like to see if the execution can show the data flowing into those individual snaps and provide the same kind of error that I receive when validating, as that would be much more useful.
Data and Engineering Lead at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
 

Setup Cost

SnapLogic's subscription-based, tiered pricing is higher but offers value through scalability and effective cost management for enterprise integrations.
Temporal provides cost-effective, flexible pricing with open-source tools, offering savings over competitors, especially for self-hosted deployments.
I feel SnapLogic is very expensive compared to others.
Integration Solution Architect at Hitachi Digital
There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
SnapLogic is positioned at around seven or eight out of ten in terms of pricing.
Senior Data Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

SnapLogic boosts efficiency with low-code development, intuitive interface, and real-time processing, enhancing productivity and reducing costs.
Temporal streamlines workflow management with robust automation, fault tolerance, language integration, and easy deployment via Kubernetes and Docker Compose.
I also like the whole child-parent pipeline feature; it allows me to break up a process into smaller pieces and then have one big pipeline that controls these smaller pipelines.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
SnapLogic provides inbuilt Snaplets, such as creating and closing an audit ID, removing duplicates, joining tables, writing to Oracle, files, XML, SF, SMTP connections, and more.
Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
SnapLogic excels in data transformations, monitoring, and observability, providing scalability controls for the pipelines.
Senior Data Engineer at a university with 201-500 employees
The deployment process is quite straightforward as it provides both Kubernetes and Docker Compose versions, allowing us to run it in ECS containers.

Integration Consultant at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications
They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

Automation streamlines operations and improves time and cost efficiency
My overall experience with Temporal is rated between 8 to 9, mainly due to a learning curve that only senior developers can navigate effectively, which makes it a bit challenging for junior developers. We don't have any instances of on-premise, so I cannot comment on that because we are a first company, with all services deployed on cloud infrastructure. Most of the integration is through RPC or APIs, ensuring all our systems are in cohesion. We do state persistence to a Postgres instance, and we have modified it to our use case with better indexing. And for fault tolerance, we built a queue and an alerting mechanism that notifies us if any workflows fail after specific failure points so we can act upon it. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Temporal an 8.
