Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 17, 2024

vCenter Orchestrator and SnapLogic compete in workflow automation and integration solutions, respectively. SnapLogic holds the advantage in low-code integration with a user-friendly interface, while vCenter Orchestrator excels in workflow creation and VMware ecosystem integration.

Features: vCenter Orchestrator offers robust workflow creation, Distributed Resource Scheduler for efficient resource management, and seamless integration with VMware solutions. SnapLogic provides low-code development, rapid integration across multiple systems, including big data and third-party tools, and a user-friendly design accessible to non-technical users.

Room for Improvement: vCenter Orchestrator could improve its multi-vendor integration, simplify its user interface, and offer more cost-effective licensing. SnapLogic needs better API management, improved complex data processing capabilities, and more transparency in data flow. Both products would benefit from expanded support and integration features to cater to a broader market.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: vCenter Orchestrator is mainly deployed on-premises with hybrid cloud options, receiving satisfactory ratings for customer service but needing faster technical support response times. SnapLogic spans hybrid, private, and public cloud deployments but requires improvements in API management and support responsiveness.

Pricing and ROI: vCenter Orchestrator is costly with complex licensing but offers significant ROI in large environments through virtualization. SnapLogic also incurs expenses based on usage but provides good value for enterprises needing complex integrations. Both solutions could enhance their cost-efficiency to better serve the market.

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.

Provides automatic monitoring capabilities that save time for users

In my company's IT environment, we use the tool to deploy production environments for products, including live manufacturing systems. The product improves my company's IT automation processes since we can use fewer resources currently. In my company, we need to spend less time considering that vCenter Orchestrator monitors everything. In general, we don't have to be present in our company to do active monitoring. Automatic monitoring is available for everything with vCenter Orchestrator, so we have proactive alerts in our company. The most valuable feature of the product in streamlining our company's workflow stems from the fact that we need to spend fewer resources and less time in general. Our company can spend time on more effective tasks like working with the plans to improve processes and so on, instead of taking care of the systems. The benefits of the product's integration capabilities were useful for HPE. My company has HPE infrastructure, and we are keen to integrate everything into the host, VMware ESXi. It is really important to have an easy integration method that allows for everything to be installed easily in a matter of minutes. I was not involved in the product's setup process. My colleague took care of the product's setup process. From what I know, I can say that the product's setup phase was straightforward. Some custom setups were to be done manually in the tool, but everything was well documented. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. One of the benefits of the product is that it is a low-cost and stable solution that offers a lot of resources. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."

"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."

"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."

"Despite having no prior experience in SnapLogic, we managed to build, test, and prepare it for release in just three hours, handling heavy data efficiently."

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

"It is a scalable solution."

"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."

More SnapLogic pros

"The open, flexible architecture has brought in the agile computing environment along with better Dr capabilities. Automation management and operational tasks across VMware and third-party applications, like our HMIS and other business productivity applications, have delivered peace of mind."

"vCenter Orchestrator's best features are the workflows, integration with third-party applications, and the workflow library."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its good automation features."

"The most valuable feature is that this solution is complete, and you don't need any add-ons."

"The implementation phase for vCenter Orchestrator was easy."

"User-friendly and easy to deploy."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"The most valuable features are the graphical UI for designing the workflows and the interfaces that come out of the box."

More vCenter Orchestrator pros

Cons

"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."

"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."

"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."

"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."

"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."

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

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

"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"

More SnapLogic cons

"I did not do the initial setup. However, it was complex at the beginning."

"We encounter challenges related to the renewal of support subscriptions."

"The interface could be improved to bring greater user-friendliness and ease of use."

"I believe vCenter Orchestrator should be part of VMware vSphere's basic bundle. As a product, vCenter Orchestrator should not be licensed at all because the world has progressed way beyond what it can offer."

"The price of this product is high and could be improved."

"Storage has room for improvement. It's a big problem for our solution. The interface also needs improvement, it should be simplified."

"The product’s cost needs improvement."

"The response time of vCenter Orchestrator's support could be improved."

More vCenter Orchestrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is okay."

"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."

"I used the free trial."

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

"The license model is based on consumption."

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

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

More SnapLogic pricing and cost advice

"Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."

"The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."

"vCenter Orchestrator is a very expensive solution."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution is a bit expensive."

"The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."

"We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."

"My organization didn't have to pay extra for vCenter Orchestrator. It was already included, so it's basically free. Even VMware regular support is included."
