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 standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"With the migration into the new version, the performance has improved and our customers are pleased with this improvement."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location."
"SnapLogic is very user-friendly."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"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."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"With SnapLogic, you can cut down the delivery times and send high volumes."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development."
 

Cons

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"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)."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"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."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for organizations that are primarily cloud-based."
"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."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"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."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"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."
"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."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"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."
"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."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"The pricing is okay."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
