SAP Process Orchestration vs SnapLogic comparison

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."

"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."

"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."

"The performance of data processing has increased."

"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."

"It is simple to transfer files."

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

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually, making it extremely easy to connect to various business systems and product integrations rapidly."

"It is a stable solution."

"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 solution needs to move to the cloud."

"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."

"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."

"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"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."

"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."

"While SnapLogic is powerful, there are several areas for improvement that could enhance user experience."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."

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

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

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

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

"The license model is based on consumption."

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