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.

Automation has transformed daily operations and now delivers faster, more accurate data flows
The best features in SnapLogic are the drag-and-drop interface which makes it easy to build data and application flows. No heavy coding is required, making it ideal for both technical and non-technical users. SnapLogic also offers pre-built snaps, real-time and batch processing, API management and integration, cloud and hybrid support, dashboarding and monitoring, error handling and retry mechanisms, scalability, security and governance, and transformation capabilities with built-in functions to clean and transform data, expressions, aggregations, and mappings. SnapLogic offers auto-mapping and smart schema detection as additional features. SnapLogic can detect schemas automatically, which helps when sources evolve or change, and this matters because there is less manual mapping work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is working well; we don't have any operational problems with it at all."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The solution makes it easy to solve integration problems."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"With the migration into the new version, the performance has improved and our customers are pleased with this improvement."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"One of the best features SnapLogic offers is its user-friendly interface."
"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."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"SnapLogic positively impacts my organization, mainly in three areas: speed, system reliability, and maintainability."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"If a company needs to use SnapLogic, first they need to consider why they need it, and if you have all your applications moving from on-premise to cloud migration, this is one of the best tools for that."
"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."
"Overall, SnapLogic is a very good tool and from a practical standpoint, it delivers integration quickly, reduces manual work, lowers dependency on multiple tools, and improves team productivity, helping us to move faster."
 

Cons

"The company has come out with a new version, SAP Cloud Integrator, which is not as good as the older version."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"As for improvements, the monitor that I currently use sometimes gets stuck and I am not able to expand and view the child pipelines in a much easier way."
"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."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"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"
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not an expensive solution."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
