Automates manual activities and has helpful documentation that allows users to self-study
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.

Consolidated, reliable, and has responsive technical support
There is a minor need to improve the ease of configuration. The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone. I agree that it has to be that way, as it's a good technology, however, maybe for people with low experience it can be hard. There can be a higher learning curve. The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution. I'd like to see the possibility of configuring the product via consoles with more elasticity without having the need to go to the single files in the file system, add the files manually, and then restarting. We'd like to make some changes, some tuning of the product, using the administration console. If this is extended to the console, it would be great. We need more operations done by the console. It simplifies the life of the worker.

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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"The solution could improve its API management."
"It is a stable solution."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The installation process is easy."
 

Cons

"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"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."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"The pricing is okay."
"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 open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
