Achieves rapid results in data migration and has an intuitive user interface
I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL. The interface is interactive, allowing me to quickly learn how to run pipelines and achieve production-ready results swiftly. This agility translates to cost savings, especially for smaller projects and proofs of concept, as less time and effort are needed to deliver results.
Kaleeswaran Karuppusamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps retrieve data and with data processing but is not so easy to use
There are no stability issues in the tool. Compared to Apache Sling, Spring Cloud Data Flow is not easy to use. People prefer Apache Sling when dealing with their use cases. I don't know whether Spring Cloud Data Flow will be demanded a lot in the market because there are a lot of other options available, especially open-source tools like Apache Sling, which is getting a lot of attention from people. A lot of people have started using Apache Sling, so I don't know how much more visible Spring Cloud Data Flow will be in the future.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."
"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"The ease of deployment on Kubernetes, the seamless integration for orchestration of various pipelines, and the visual dashboard that simplifies operations even for non-specialists such as quality analysts."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it allows us to use different batch data sources, retrieve the data, and then do the data processing, after which we can convert and store it in the target."
"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."
"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."
"The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable."
 

Cons

"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"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."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"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."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."
"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."
"There were instances of deployment pipelines getting stuck, and the dashboard not always accurately showing the application status, requiring manual intervention such as rerunning applications or refreshing the dashboard."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow is not an easy-to-use tool, so improvements are required."
"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."
"The solution's community support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"I used the free trial."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
"The solution provides value for money, and we are currently using its community edition."
"If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."
