Microsoft System Center Orchestrator vs SnapLogic comparison

"Automation is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"It can manage multiple servers and workstations from a single location."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"It is a stable solution."

"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."

"The product's management aspect needs enhancement."

"I find the Orchestrator UI to be problematic."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"We obtained a license that bundled Windows Server with System Center at no additional cost."

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

"I used the free trial."

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

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

"The license model is based on consumption."

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