SAP Process Orchestration vs SnapLogic comparison

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

"The solution is easy to use."

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

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."

"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."

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

"The solution's technical support is good."

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

"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

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

"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."

"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."

"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."

"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 should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."

"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."

"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."

"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 responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."

"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."

"I find the learning curve for complex transformations, the debugging experience, performance optimization visibility, cost for small teams, and version control and DevOps integration could be improved in SnapLogic."

"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."

"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."

"From the HR point of view, or for HR tech, improvement is required. A couple of connectors are not working with all the relevant APIs, and there is always a restriction in terms of fetching the data."

"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."

"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."

"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."

"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 price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"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."

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

"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."

"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."

"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

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

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

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

"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."

"I used the free trial."

"The pricing is okay."

"The license model is based on consumption."

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