Exceptional drag-and-drop integration module

It would be great to have more assistance and credit services for additional features. For instance, virtual class initials are available but not for backend processing moves. Making that more visible, like other Azure products, would be helpful. Moreover, the documentation is good, but it could be improved. It is changing every day, and I sometimes find that it's not updated enough or some code levels are not included.

What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."

"The solution has a lot of connectors, which is quite helpful."

"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."

"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."

"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."

"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"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."

"SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Boomi in terms of debugging. You can move the mouse to a place, and it will record and show the data easily."

"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."

"It is a stable solution."

"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"

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

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

More SnapLogic pros

Cons

"In my experience, I haven't encountered any major issues with the tool. However, there could be a learning curve for new users, especially depending on which tool you're using. For example, I've used MuleSoft in the past, which is more code-oriented and requires knowledge of Java. Transitioning to Boomi AtomSphere Integration took me a couple of months because of differences in terminology."

"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."

"There should be more scripting possibilities."

"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."

"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."

"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."

"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."

More Boomi iPaaS 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 solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."

"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"

"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."

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

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

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

More SnapLogic cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive platform."

"Approximately 20k annually."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."

"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

"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."

"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."

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