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.

Enhance automation efficiency with cost-effective graphical workflow design
I use vCenter Orchestrator for automation purposes, specifically to run automation workbooks The most valuable features are the graphical UI for designing the workflows and the interfaces that come out of the box. Additionally, it is included in the VMware Vitalization Stack, which means there…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"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."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"The most valuable feature for us is the performance stability of vCenter Orchestrator, especially in complex situations, making it excellent for managing virtual machines."
"The tool is very beneficial for automating workflow."
"The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN."
"The most valuable feature is that it's simple and very ergonomic to use the product compared to other virtualizing product. Out of Microsoft, Red Hat, and IBM, we found VMware to be the best one."
"The implementation phase for vCenter Orchestrator was easy."
"The most crucial feature of vCenter is its scalability. We can use it to expand our network, so we don't have to report our client devices. The network configuration features are also helpful because we can migrate entire networks."
"The platform integration is straightforward, especially with recent updates, making connecting with various systems and streamlining workflows easier."
"It is the most cost-effective method for moving data between machines."
 

Cons

"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."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"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."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors."
"As we work towards more stability on the solution, sometimes we'll try something and it breaks and it's easier to restart the service. That's the only drawback. We've experienced this with other applications as well."
"I did not do the initial setup. However, it was complex at the beginning."
"The GUI should be enhanced in the future."
"I would like to have an interface that can manage both on-premises and cloud solutions from a single console, where we can easily manage the resources that are being used or at least applications. Whereby clicking here and there from on-premises to cloud, or cloud to on-premises, depending on the requirements. If that can be accomplished, it will be extremely beneficial."
"After the change from perpetual licensing to subscriptions, the cost model changed."
"Storage has room for improvement. It's a big problem for our solution. The interface also needs improvement, it should be simplified."
"The only problem with the product is that it is very expensive, making it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"The pricing is okay."
"I used the free trial."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The license model is based on consumption."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
"Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
"We renew the solution's license every one or two years."
"The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
"We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
