Microsoft Azure Logic Apps vs SnapLogic comparison

"It's quite similar to Power Optima, but I use it mainly to integrate with databases, and it works well for that purpose."

"Connectors are very useful for streamlining data integration tasks."

"We can write external features and transfer the data using JPIMs securely which has been most valuable."

"If there's something that isn't possible, you can write some code and call that code from a Logic App."

"The solution has plenty of good valuable features and a plethora of services."

"Logic Apps helped reduce complexity or development time. For example, if we get documents in the form of images, we can use Logic Apps to extract information from those images. This simplifies our efforts compared to originally using Microsoft APIs to do the same task."

"I am impressed with the tool's UI and analytics."

"I like the ability within Logic Apps to design the workbooks through the portal with minimal code."

"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."

"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."

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

"It is a scalable solution."

"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"

"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."

"The stability of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is stable. However, we have had some issues in the past. They do resolve issues that arise from new releases."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps can improve by continually updating the connectors to make them better."

"A room for improvement in Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is that it's expensive. Every step is going to cost you money, so if someone is not doing the steps carefully, at the end of the day, it will cost a lot of money. Each time you execute a step, the cost will depend on how much you use Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, and how many workflow steps you have. Each time a step needs to be executed, there'll be a cost added to your bill. If the developer isn't careful with how he uses the solution, this can blow up the cost. What I'd like to see in the next release of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is for the cost and security to be better."

"The standard logic app could be simplified. Thats what we would like to see in the next release."

"An area of improvement I've encountered is related to the number of connectors available in Logic Apps. While there are many connectors, I found that the "send email" connector may not work as expected, and one has to rely on Office 365 plugins or other alternatives. This could enhance user experience, especially when considering the additional overhead and licensing requirements associated with Office 365. It also needs to improve security features."

"I find the current interface useful, but I could see how others would want the UI bits that are used for creating Logic Apps to be simplified."

"The scalability could be improved."

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"The price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is inexpensive."

"The tool's cost can vary depending on your specific use case. Generally, it's considered cheaper, but the price depends on how much you use it and which features you need. Initially, there was a consumption-based pricing model, but now Microsoft offers a standard tier. Microsoft encourages users to migrate from the consumption model to the standard one by 2025. The pricing is a monthly fixed cost, depending on your usage needs."

"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."

"The product is quite cheap."

"The pricing is okay. It's not highly priced. It's in the medium range."

"The licensing is cheaper because, compared to other services, Azure services are much cheaper and affordable."

"It's very cheap, but it comes with pluses and minuses. The positive thing is that it's very cheap, but on the other hand, it's extremely hard to tell how much it will cost. At the start of the project, it's almost impossible to tell how many times you will be calling some kind of Logic App function. You cannot state how much of the internet transfer you will use or how much data your will use."

"The cost of the solution could be cheaper."

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

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

"I used the free trial."

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

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

"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."
