Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"The solution's technical support is good."
"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."
"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 product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SnapLogic positively impacts my organization, mainly in three areas: speed, system reliability, and maintainability."
"It is a stable solution."
"One of the best features SnapLogic offers is its user-friendly interface."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"SnapLogic delivers measurable ROI through time savings, 70% fewer errors, faster processes, and significant cost reductions while enabling scalable automations across our systems."
 

Cons

"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"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."
"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 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 it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"While SnapLogic is powerful, there are several areas for improvement that could enhance user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"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."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"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."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"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."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
