Featured Reviews

Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Migration projects have accelerated data processing and now require better latency and support
The latency is the biggest issue across iPaaS. That is the important part. I have worked not only with SnapLogic, but also with MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, and Jitterbit. They are all fine, but they have different kinds of functionality. They all have similar kinds of problems in different domains. But as I mentioned, SnapLogic has a little bit of an edge because of its functionality and inbuilt functions for Fintech, as compared to the others. This I can say firmly. They need to assess themselves. In this day and age, as I mentioned earlier, terabytes of data need to be read and then have a quick turnaround for downstream systems, especially for GenAI or any LLMs. Then they can definitely improve themselves because right now, most things, in fact, the GenAI, ChatGPT, Cloud, Anthropic, and so many others, require data quality with perfection and more precision. But for all of that, we require a data pipeline that can be read without latency and without any delay, for any reason. So if they can improvise that over the cloud, that would be really fantastic and a really good achievement for them. Not only for them, but for the customer as well. Then no matter what, people cannot leave SnapLogic. They need to be there with the snaps. I don't know much about that. I haven't referred to the documentation that much. But support is something that is pretty obviously required, rather than just providing videos. Technical support is required. The roadmap also needs to be very clearly mentioned and specified. Be specific in which domain they are going to do what, if they are coming out with that roadmap. Otherwise, overall, if they are going to improve their entire system as I mentioned earlier, for the reusability concept and the data pipeline concept, then they will definitely do some magic in the future. From the HR point of view, or for HR tech, improvement is required. A couple of connectors are not working with all the relevant APIs, and there is always a restriction in terms of fetching the data. So that is why I chose six. From the Fintech point of view, if you are asking on a scale of one to 10, then I would give it an eight out of 10. It is a huge one. There is always a margin for improvement, so that is why I chose eight. If you talk about HR, sales, or any other domain, there is a significant amount of improvement required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"I would tell others looking into using SnapLogic to use it, take it, use it, and use it, because you can't go beyond SnapLogic and SnapLogic is not going to give you any kind of bad experience, definitely."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
 

Cons

"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"From the HR point of view, or for HR tech, improvement is required. A couple of connectors are not working with all the relevant APIs, and there is always a restriction in terms of fetching the data."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"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."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"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."
"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."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
