Featured Reviews

VinethSuresh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
"Talend is significantly easier to use."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
 

Cons

"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"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."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"The solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"I used the free trial."
"The pricing is okay."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"It is an open-source product."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
