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

"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"With the migration into the new version, the performance has improved and our customers are pleased with this improvement."
"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 provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development."
"SnapLogic is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"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."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"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 biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"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 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."
"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."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"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 fee for maintenance is costly."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"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."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"I used the free trial."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The license model is based on consumption."
"The pricing is okay."
