Featured Reviews

Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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

"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"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 latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually, making it extremely easy to connect to various business systems and product integrations rapidly."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"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."
"SnapLogic is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"Sometimes, if there is a system-related issue where I have to contact SAP and raise an incident, it takes a couple of days to resolve the issue."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"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."
"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."
"The solution isn't meant to scale when high-volume transactions are in play; the scalability could improve."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"The solution could improve its API management."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"That said, while the SnapLogic technical managers are very good, the support model isn't great and should improve."
"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."
"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."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of SAP Process Orchestration was 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 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."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"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 pricing for this solution is fine."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"The pricing is okay."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"I used the free trial."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
