Featured Reviews

Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Migration projects have accelerated data processing and now require better latency and support
The latency is the biggest issue across iPaaS. That is the important part. I have worked not only with SnapLogic, but also with MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, and Jitterbit. They are all fine, but they have different kinds of functionality. They all have similar kinds of problems in different domains. But as I mentioned, SnapLogic has a little bit of an edge because of its functionality and inbuilt functions for Fintech, as compared to the others. This I can say firmly. They need to assess themselves. In this day and age, as I mentioned earlier, terabytes of data need to be read and then have a quick turnaround for downstream systems, especially for GenAI or any LLMs. Then they can definitely improve themselves because right now, most things, in fact, the GenAI, ChatGPT, Cloud, Anthropic, and so many others, require data quality with perfection and more precision. But for all of that, we require a data pipeline that can be read without latency and without any delay, for any reason. So if they can improvise that over the cloud, that would be really fantastic and a really good achievement for them. Not only for them, but for the customer as well. Then no matter what, people cannot leave SnapLogic. They need to be there with the snaps. I don't know much about that. I haven't referred to the documentation that much. But support is something that is pretty obviously required, rather than just providing videos. Technical support is required. The roadmap also needs to be very clearly mentioned and specified. Be specific in which domain they are going to do what, if they are coming out with that roadmap. Otherwise, overall, if they are going to improve their entire system as I mentioned earlier, for the reusability concept and the data pipeline concept, then they will definitely do some magic in the future. 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. So that is why I chose six. From the Fintech point of view, if you are asking on a scale of one to 10, then I would give it an eight out of 10. It is a huge one. There is always a margin for improvement, so that is why I chose eight. If you talk about HR, sales, or any other domain, there is a significant amount of improvement required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"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."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"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 solution could improve its API management."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Despite having no prior experience in SnapLogic, we managed to build, test, and prepare it for release in just three hours, handling heavy data efficiently."
"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."
 

Cons

"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."
"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 price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"I used the free trial."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"The pricing is okay."
