Automates manual activities and has helpful documentation that allows users to self-study

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.

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 stable."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."

"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."

"The solution is easy to use."

"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."

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

"It is simple to transfer files."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration pros

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."

"The solution could improve its API management."

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"What I found most valuable in SnapLogic is the ETL feature, particularly the Transform Snap Pack, for example, any kind of reading or writing on Transform Snaps. Other than that, all the third-party connectivity tools such as the SAP Snap Pack, Salesforce Snap Pack, Workday Snap Pack, even the ServiceNow Snap Pack, I find all those are pretty useful in SnapLogic."

"It is a stable 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."

"It is a scalable solution."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

More SnapLogic pros

Cons

"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 cloud capability features need improvement."

"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."

"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."

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

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."

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

More SAP Process Orchestration cons

"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."

"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"

"We'd like zero downtime in the future."

"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."

"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."

"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."

"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."

"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."

More SnapLogic cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

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

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

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

More SAP Process Orchestration pricing and cost advice

"The license model is based on consumption."
