SAP Process Orchestration vs SnapLogic comparison

"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."

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

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

"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 provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."

"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."

"The performance of data processing has increased."

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

"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 the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"It is a stable solution."

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

"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."

"The solution could improve its API management."

"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."

"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."

"The solution could be more scalable."

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

"It requires some maintenance."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"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 setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."

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

"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."

"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."

"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."

"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."

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

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

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

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."

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

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

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

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

"The license model is based on consumption."

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

"The pricing is okay."

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

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