Featured Reviews

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 easy to use."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"SnapLogic delivers measurable ROI through time savings, 70% fewer errors, faster processes, and significant cost reductions while enabling scalable automations across our systems."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"One of the best features SnapLogic offers is its user-friendly interface."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
 

Cons

"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business 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."
"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."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"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."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"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."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"I used the free trial."
