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 API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"This product is very easy to use."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"The product's initial setup phase was 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."
"Stability feels fine."
 

Cons

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"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."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"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."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
