SnapLogic vs Talend Data integration comparison

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"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."

"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."

"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"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."

"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."

"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."

"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."

"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."

"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."

"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."

"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."

"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."

"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."

"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."

"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."

"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."

"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."

"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."

"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."

"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."

"The product's setup process could be simpler."

"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."

"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."

"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 pricing is okay."

"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."

"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."

"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."

"I used the free trial."

"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."

"I have been using the open-source version."
