Microsoft Azure Logic Apps vs SnapLogic comparison

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

"Logic Apps is valuable because my team uses it for integrating SaaS tool sets."

"It's easy to use, and it's stable."

"The product has efficient connectors."

"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is that you can run a workflow or do a high-level process orchestration, then you can call the other function and fulfill the process. For example, if you want to update a customer, you first need to get the customer's phone number and simulate the steps of the process, then Microsoft Azure Logic Apps can orchestrate that process."

"If we are working with a service-oriented architecture, as an architect as a baseline, it supports us very well in terms of expandability, and the kind of robustness it brings, especially with its serverless nature is fabulous."

"Its integration capabilities are great, allowing connectivity with various applications and services."

"The product integration with Active Directory and detailed execution tracking for debugging are the most valuable features."

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

"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."

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

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"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."

"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."

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

"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."

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

"In Microsoft Azure Logic Apps, we use Liquid templates, and I feel it can be improved as it does not support all the features that our company wants to use during any complex mapping when we might have to go for custom coding."

"Additionally, enhancing scalability features, such as implementing queuing mechanisms for high-concurrency scenarios, would greatly improve its utility."

"The main issue is performance, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. Performance-wise, that's the only thing Microsoft should focus on."

"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."

"There could be custom code for the product's components."

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could have more customization options for connectors."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."

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

"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."

"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."

"Its price depends on the number of transactions, storage capacity, etc., defining if the subscription will be monthly or weekly."

"The product pricing aligns well with the value and capabilities offered by Azure services."

"The product is quite cheap."

"The pricing is not expensive."

"The tool’s pricing could be better."

"The cost of the solution could be cheaper."

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

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."

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

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

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

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

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

"I used the free trial."

"The pricing is okay."
