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.
AntonioFonseca - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy-to-use product with the ability to generate code efficiently
Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently. This feature streamlines the integration process, saving developers time and effort. Additionally, the stability of the generated code is noteworthy, as it ensures reliability over time. Despite not always producing the most aesthetically pleasing code, it eliminates critical errors, reducing the burden on developers. This stability is particularly crucial in complex integration scenarios, where errors can have significant consequences.

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."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"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 stable solution."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"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."
"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
"I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
 

Cons

"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
"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."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"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 pricing is okay."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"I used the free trial."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."

Based on practical experience with both tools, I feel that Snaplogic will perform much better irrespective of data volumes. With the low code capability of Snaplogic, the development time is much less compared to Talend. The maintenance of the tool is also simple compared to Talend.

Both Talend and Snaplogic are good iPaaS solutions. If you have requirements beyond data integration, then Talend Data Fabric would score better than Snaplogic. If a simple setup, quick deployment, and ease of use are your criteria Snaplogic would score better. In a way, it is not fair to compare Talend with Snaplogic because both are trying to address a slightly different buyer groups.
