ETL Solutions Transformation Manager vs SnapLogic comparison

"It is a reliable solution."

"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."

"It is among the best, even if not widely known."

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."

"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."

"What I found most valuable in SnapLogic is the ETL feature, particularly the Transform Snap Pack, for example, any kind of reading or writing on Transform Snaps. Other than that, all the third-party connectivity tools such as the SAP Snap Pack, Salesforce Snap Pack, Workday Snap Pack, even the ServiceNow Snap Pack, I find all those are pretty useful in SnapLogic."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"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."

"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."

"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."

"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."

"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."

"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 should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."

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

"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."

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

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

"It is an expensive solution."

"The license model is based on consumption."

"The pricing is okay."

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

"I used the free trial."

"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."

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

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