SnapLogic vs Workato comparison

"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."

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"It is a scalable solution."

"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."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"It is a stable solution."

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

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."

"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."

"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."

"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."

"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."

"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."

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

"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."

"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."

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

"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."

"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."

"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."

"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."

"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."

"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."

"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."

"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."

"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."

"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."

"The license model is based on consumption."

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."

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

"The pricing is okay."

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

"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."

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

"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."

"Workato is an expensive solution."

"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
