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

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
"SAP Process Orchestration offers easy maintainability and is a very flexible tool that easily adapts to any integration standards and artifacts that are readily available."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"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."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"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."
"With the migration into the new version, the performance has improved and our customers are pleased with this improvement."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development."
"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"My teams can connect to new partners and data sources in hours, not days."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
 

Cons

"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"It requires some maintenance."
"The solution isn't meant to scale when high-volume transactions are in play; the scalability could improve."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The usability, for example, is an area where it can be improved upon."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"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."
"That said, while the SnapLogic technical managers are very good, the support model isn't great and should improve."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"One thing is that if there is any error, it is not detecting the error directly in the main pipeline. Rather, I have to backtrace to the child pipeline and then go to the designer and check the error."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is highly-priced."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"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 license model is based on consumption."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"I used the free trial."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"The pricing is okay."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
