Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration vs SnapLogic comparison

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is that API Gateway is extremely flexible for any feature, such as connecting to Active Directory to pull the users and their authentication information. There are three ways to connect to Active Directory, and the reason for this is that the computing environments of our customers are very different. Every feature in API Gateway has got multiple methodologies for accomplishing those tasks, which is important because customers are constantly changing their security models, IT models, networks, etc. API Gateway is very flexible. It is not a one size fits all sort of situation where it is very rigid, and you can only use these pull-down menus, and that's all it ever does. It is much more open than that. It can give you fabulous reports on your users, usage, security issues, and the data sets that are going through there. You'll suddenly have visibility on the movement of data within or between your organization and other organizations. The other thing is that you're connecting API to API, which is machine to machine. The things that were done manually in an Excel spreadsheet before exchanging data through email are now done machine to machine and server to server. It speeds up the velocity of your business."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is quite a stable solution."

"The product is robust."

"It is a stable solution."

"It is a scalable solution."

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

"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."

"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."

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

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

"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 most important point to improve is the capability to deploy in large enterprises."

"Axway AMPLIFY Application Integration is an expensive solution."

"Because it is so flexible, you really need someone who knows Axway Gateway or has been through the training and is certified. Just because you know APIs doesn't mean you're going to walk into that API Gateway and understand what to click on. If you're going to get something done quickly, you need to find an engineer from a company who has some experience with it. It is easy to learn, but if you're doing on-the-job training, it is going to take you longer to get your project accomplished."

"The product must improve its visibility and scalability."

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."

"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."

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

"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."

"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."

"The support is the most important improvement they could make."

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

"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."

"Users need to pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."

"API Gateway is priced on the number of transactions you run through it. API Gateway is free, and you can install as many API Gateways as you like or are necessary for your network. For example, if all of the data is inside your network or firewall, you may just need one API Gateway. If you have external customers trying to come into your organization through your firewall, you're going to need one API Gateway outside the firewall and one inside the firewall. If you have a lot of remote offices, you may want to put API Gateway in some of those offices as well. They only charge you for your usage of it. In other words, the number of transactions going through it. That's a good benefit."

"The product is not expensive."

"I used the free trial."

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

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

"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"

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

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

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

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