SAP Process Orchestration vs SnapLogic comparison

"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."

"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."

"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."

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

"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."

"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."

"One of the best features SnapLogic offers is its user-friendly interface."

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

"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."

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

"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."

"The solution could improve its API management."

"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

"The cloud capability features need improvement."

"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."

"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."

"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."

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

"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

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

"The solution is highly-priced."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."

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

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

"I used the free trial."

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

"The license model is based on consumption."

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

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

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