Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 17, 2024

vCenter Orchestrator and SnapLogic compete in workflow automation and integration solutions, respectively. SnapLogic holds the advantage in low-code integration with a user-friendly interface, while vCenter Orchestrator excels in workflow creation and VMware ecosystem integration.

Features: vCenter Orchestrator offers robust workflow creation, Distributed Resource Scheduler for efficient resource management, and seamless integration with VMware solutions. SnapLogic provides low-code development, rapid integration across multiple systems, including big data and third-party tools, and a user-friendly design accessible to non-technical users.

Room for Improvement: vCenter Orchestrator could improve its multi-vendor integration, simplify its user interface, and offer more cost-effective licensing. SnapLogic needs better API management, improved complex data processing capabilities, and more transparency in data flow. Both products would benefit from expanded support and integration features to cater to a broader market.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: vCenter Orchestrator is mainly deployed on-premises with hybrid cloud options, receiving satisfactory ratings for customer service but needing faster technical support response times. SnapLogic spans hybrid, private, and public cloud deployments but requires improvements in API management and support responsiveness.

Pricing and ROI: vCenter Orchestrator is costly with complex licensing but offers significant ROI in large environments through virtualization. SnapLogic also incurs expenses based on usage but provides good value for enterprises needing complex integrations. Both solutions could enhance their cost-efficiency to better serve the market.

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.

Provides automatic monitoring capabilities that save time for users

In my company's IT environment, we use the tool to deploy production environments for products, including live manufacturing systems. The product improves my company's IT automation processes since we can use fewer resources currently. In my company, we need to spend less time considering that vCenter Orchestrator monitors everything. In general, we don't have to be present in our company to do active monitoring. Automatic monitoring is available for everything with vCenter Orchestrator, so we have proactive alerts in our company. The most valuable feature of the product in streamlining our company's workflow stems from the fact that we need to spend fewer resources and less time in general. Our company can spend time on more effective tasks like working with the plans to improve processes and so on, instead of taking care of the systems. The benefits of the product's integration capabilities were useful for HPE. My company has HPE infrastructure, and we are keen to integrate everything into the host, VMware ESXi. It is really important to have an easy integration method that allows for everything to be installed easily in a matter of minutes. I was not involved in the product's setup process. My colleague took care of the product's setup process. From what I know, I can say that the product's setup phase was straightforward. Some custom setups were to be done manually in the tool, but everything was well documented. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. One of the benefits of the product is that it is a low-cost and stable solution that offers a lot of resources. I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"

"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."

"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 initial setup is very straightforward."

"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."

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

"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."

"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"

More SnapLogic pros

"The implementation phase for vCenter Orchestrator was easy."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the workflow creation."

"Snapshots and similar features were managed well."

"It has the best workflow feature."

"I am impressed with the tool's easiness to work with VMware solutions."

"The most valuable feature is affinity rules."

"The most valuable feature is workflow automation."

"Because of the central management, the scripting engine and workflow engine are integrated with VMware without any burden to integrate different products."

More vCenter Orchestrator pros

Cons

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

"One of the areas for improvement in SnapLogic is that the connectors for some of the applications should be more available in terms of testing in the dev environment. Another area for improvement is that the logging should be standardized, for example, the integration with an ELK stack should be required out-of-the-box, so you can ship the log and have it in the ELK stack. There should be integration with ELK stack for the log shipping."

"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."

"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."

"We'd like zero downtime in the future."

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

"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."

"The support is the most important improvement they could make."

More SnapLogic cons

"We encounter challenges related to the renewal of support subscriptions."

"The licensing is expensive and should be improved."

"The only problem with the product is that it is very expensive, making it an area where improvements are required."

"Using this solution requires a lot of experience."

"I would like to see more automation added in the future."

"It is practically difficult at this stage to really comment on the improvisations of V central. But more tech events and PoC cases would help the EA to design better solutions and utilization."

"The solution’s pricing and integration could be improved."

"A feature to review and setup tasks should be added."

More vCenter Orchestrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."

"I used the free trial."

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."

"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"

"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."

"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."

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

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

More SnapLogic pricing and cost advice

"This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."

"vCenter Orchestrator is a very expensive solution."

"We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."

"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."

"The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."

"Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."

"We renew the solution's license every one or two years."

"The product is expensive."
