SAP Process Orchestration vs SnapLogic comparison

"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location."

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

"SAP is now one of the leaders in integration."

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

"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."

"Orchestration is beneficial for us."

"It is simple to transfer files."

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

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

"SnapLogic is very user-friendly."

"Everything is very good; it's good for mapping for the company, we have a lot of use cases that we can apply to this solution, and they are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."

"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."

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

"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."

"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature."

"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."

"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."

"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."

"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI)."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"There is room for improvement of API management and the dashboard for task execution."

"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."

"As for improvements, the monitor that I currently use sometimes gets stuck and I am not able to expand and view the child pipelines in a much easier way."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

"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."

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

"The solution is highly-priced."

"The fee for maintenance is costly."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."

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

"The license model is based on consumption."

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

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

"The pricing is okay."

"I used the free trial."

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