SnapLogic Reviews

I was utilizing Azure Data Lake block storage as a data lake, and I was performing numerous source extractions from various sources and transferring them to the data lake.

The client has seen great benefits from this particular project and its use of the SnapLogic tool, which they plan to continue to use for the next two years. They are pleased with the subscription and the associated cost.

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. SnapLogic is a low-code, low-investment solution that required me to design best practices and orchestration rules for multiple data pipelines.

SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up.

Each snap is expensive if requested on a one-off basis; however, it may be wiser not to opt for a review unless absolutely necessary. In such cases, there is no need to pay for the review.

I have been using the solution for three and a half years.

The SnapLogic platform has very little downtime. I have only encountered one technical issue with the solution's environment that took 24 hours to resolve. Since I am a developer, the support system was slower than the production one from the SnapLogic side, as it is hosted on the SnapLogic cloud. Otherwise, I have not encountered any issues.

The client initially purchases a certain amount of load, as with any AWS or cloud service. When demand increases, elasticity can be added by making an additional payment. The solution is scalable.

The initial setup is a five out of ten, so if the staging layer, target, and permissions are all in place when we begin work on a project, then it should take no more than two weeks to deploy.

The implementation is completed in-house.

We employed the incremental model of development, starting with the bare minimum load and system requirements. As the project progressed, we increased the bandwidth accordingly. When the further expansion was needed, we provided the client with a valid case study to justify the increased request. We further discussed what additional elements would be added and how they would affect the bandwidth. By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

The SnapLogic platform is enhanced by the use of a snap called Map or snap, which is believed to be powered by IRIS Intelligence. Understanding how these snap works are essential for mastering the SnapLogic platform.

• Fast deployment
• Very flexible integration capabilities
• An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs
• Easy automation of interdependent data workflows

• My teams can connect to new partners and data sources in hours, not days.
• We complete more work and integrate faster, allowing us to prove ROI quicker on new ideas.
• Provides independence from other support teams, where my work may not be a priority.
• Has created a tool to answer “what if” questions quickly.
• Faster design of new products.

Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control.

I have used SnapLogic for three years.

We have had above 99% uptime over the three year span.

There have been no scalability issues.

Support is A+. The support has been a key reason why we continue to use SnapLogic.

We have several internal tools to accomplish what SnapLogic provides. They range in maturity and usefulness, but ultimately they all have trouble with one piece of the puzzle. In terms of connecting to our many third-parties, for example, SnapLogic was the most flexible and provides the fastest path to production.

The setup is seamless. It just involves a few phone calls and some training. The interface can take a few hours to get comfortable with. While the GUI looks simple, proactive technical problem solvers are needed to really shine.

They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down. Forecasting use was not something I spent time on.

I evaluated MuleSoft, Informatica, and internally built tools.

If you have real issues to solve, simply get started. The time to observe SnapLogic’s ability to solve your problems will be equal or less than doing traditional vendor vetting/investigations.

We are based in Mexico and our primary use case of SnapLogic is for ETL work. We transfer data from one point to another and depending on requirements, we modify for better results and then report to our clients. We have two types of layers; regular raw ingestion and transformation. We have our own homegrown ETL process where we do a lot of our ingestion process. We use both solutions depending on what is required. SnapLogic is our main solution. I'm a developer and we are customers of SnapLogic.

SnapLogic is very user-friendly. There's not a lot of code, it's mainly snaps. It also gives you the opportunity to use other languages, such as Python, and to easily connect to other systems. If there isn't a snap that fits your needs, you can always use snaps that let you code pretty much any language you need. One of the cool things is that SnapLogic tries to stay up to date on all of the new snaps and all of the new logics available. We're able to manage a large amount of data through SnapLogic.

Ultra Pipelines is great in terms of real-time ingestion and real-time jobs but it needs some adjustment. Also, you get the application and enough sources but they don't really ask the correct questions on how to handle the resources and provide the correct information to our team in order to avoid any system problems. We've been seeing some latencies now and then due to the nodes that we currently have available, and due to the lack of knowledge on our SnapLogic Pipelines. In addition, there are snaps we don't need but that affect the latency of the work and I'd like to see some training videos so our developers can have the best practices on how SnapLogic should be used. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The stability isn't too bad. We've had some issues with the escalation process, but not something that's affected our work. There seem to be some things that need to happen through the whole process, and it might require getting together with the SnapLogic developers to get a complete understanding of what we might be doing incorrectly, or gaining sufficient knowledge so that we can make sure we follow each step accurately. 

Some of the jobs that we had scheduled were killed and we weren't really able to see what they were or to notify the team that managed those SnapLogic Pipelines. We needed to ensure they were properly run, or executed in the correct format after we had implemented the upgrade. It was a misunderstanding of how the process works. 

Scaling took us a little extra time. We worked through it but we needed to get a better understanding of what we were doing as a team in terms of the configuration and the setup and that took some time. 

Customer support is very helpful and they respond quickly. 

Positive

I wasn't fully involved in the setup. We have it in the cloud, installed on AWS and we have it installed on GCP. My team says that the initial setup is pretty easy and there is good documentation available. Deployment takes a couple of hours because we do some testing. Upgrading takes a couple of minutes and there's no problem when that happens, we're not even aware of it.

It's important to test everything you're doing and ask any and all questions so that you're fully prepared for any issues that might arise during installation or testing.

I rate this solution eight out of 10. 

It's useful to move data from one environment to another one, for example, from one database to another one. I can also change data types, delete some dates, update data, and clean data, for example. So it's really useful for us.

It's easy to use, capable, and offers good performance. It's a good decision to use this product in any company.

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.

I used SnapLogic for two to three months. I used the latest version. 

It is a stable solution. 

There are around two to three people in my IT team using this solution. 

The customer service and support are good. 

I used Microsoft's tool. SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Microsoft. It's easier to understand what you can do in the app.

It is on a web interface, so I didn't need to download anything. I used the web interface.  I saw this web interface, and it only linked to my environment.

I used the free trial. You need to pay for a license to use SnapLogic. The pricing is based on the number of integrations you need and the volume of data you're processing.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.  I would recommend SnapLogic to others, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, SnapLogic is not suitable for big data processing. Second, the pricing can be expensive, but it's generally in line with other iPaaS platforms.

We are using it for ETL and application integration.

The simplicity of the tool and the wide availability of connectors or snaps are most valuable to me. The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration.

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

I have been working with SnapLogic for the past four years.

I have found SnapLogic to be stable.

I have found SnapLogic to be scalable.

Technical support is very responsive and great.

I worked with Informatica. The cost with SnapLogic is better. With Informatica, I have to get the application integration as a separate license, but with SnapLogic I can get it all in one place for one price.

When it is a marketplace, it is seamless, but when it is on our own infrastructure, it involves the launching of the node configurations. If it is a general installation, I do not think it is complex.

The pricing is better than Informatica and the license is renewed on an annual basis. The price depends on the volume of the data and the infrastructure you are choosing.

I would rate SnapLogic a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for integrating different applications. It's very flexible and we can use it as either a database or just a set of cloud-based applications.

Creation of re-usabe components,ease of use and hybrid integration (Groundplex and Cloud) makes Snaplogic a better player in the market. 

We're able to use the solution as a hybrid deployment. It's one of the solution's main advantages. You can also have multiple applications connected.

We can integrate multiple solutions, including Jira.

We have a semantic layer and are able to pull all the data from different applications using APIs.

The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop.

The user interface is very simple. It's easy for anyone to pick up and adopt.

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

I'm not sure if this solution can integrate with Docker, but if it can't they should work to make this possible as Docker makes it easy to get huge amounts of data and has very good policies.

I've been using the solution for six months.

The stability of the solution is very good. It's why we are using it. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches that would make us concerned that the solution isn't stable.

The scalability is good, but it's much more scalable on the cloud. It's plug and play and is usable as soon as we move and upload our data. It may take a bit of configuration, but it's definitely scalable with a few easy adjustments.

We've never contacted technical support. Our company is able to manage issues internally and has team members that troubleshoot problems.

We do also use Informatica, and if we need to do complex processing or logic, including machine logic, we use that instead of SnapLogic. Combining these two tools creates quite an advantage for us. SnapLogic has a lot of reusable components in the pipeline and integrating the two together makes for a quite scalable solution.

The initial setup of the solution is very easy. We didn't find any complexities.

We have CSV leaders and have continuous integration for continuous deployment. We put all of our pipelines into the central system and go into production.

The time it takes to deploy the solution depends on the company. The volume of data, latency, or other factors will dictate the amount of time it will take.

We have our own in-house team that handles the implementation.

We use the solution on a daily basis.

I'd advise other companies that if it's combined with other tools it will make for a very strong solution.

I'd recommend the product. We already have clients on it and many of our team members have tested it.

I'd rate the solution six out of ten overall, simply because, as a solution, it's still growing. It's not mature yet. If it had simpler logic processing, I'd probably bump it up to an eight. It's easy to use, scalable and reusable and it's overall a great product.

SnapLogic and Pentaho are tools I use collaboratively for data integration. I have good experience with Pentaho and SnapLogic for data migration from one database to another database.

The main use cases of the tool are for data integration and migration from databases.

In most of the use cases, my company uses SnapLogic for the migration of flat files to S3 and other databases. If my company gets flat files, like CSV, PostgreSQL, and XML files, from our clients, what we do is based on some of the business logic and the implementation they send to us. For my company to apply some business logic and implement it on top of the flat files, we will transfer the file using transform logic, after which we will migrate the data into the database, like Oracle or PostgreSQL.

There are features like CSV Parser, XML Parser, File Writer Snap, and File Reader that we use in our company with the separate functionalities provided by SnapLogic, which helps us to apply transform logic and migrate data.

My company has a licensed version of SnapLogic, so we have to pay for the product when we use it in our organization. Pentaho and Talend are ETL tools that allow my company to migrate the data within a fraction of a second using open-source products, not the paid version. In SnapLogic, my company uses the product's paid version, so we have to pay for license charges.

When compared with other tools, SnapLogic needs to be given a trial version or made available as an open-source product for simple migrations, which can be helpful for many users. In Talend and Pentaho, users can migrate data by just installing the software. I just installed the UI. SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use. Just giving the email address and creating a password is enough to configure SnapLogic. Tools like Talend and Pentaho need their users to indulge in manual installation since both tools fall under the on-premises software category. That is what is actually called on-premises software. It would be great if SnapLogic office separated software to manage small migrations.

I have two years of experience in ETL tools, including SnapLogic. My company has a direct partnership with SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform. My company has maintained an individual partnership with SnapLogic, specifically for Cloudplex, so we can connect with cloud services like AWS and Azure. My company has a separate partnership for SnapLogic Cloudplex so that we can connect with Snowflake and cloud services like AWS or Azure.

It is a stable solution. There are no glitches in the product. It is an easy tool to use. Users don't need to have separate knowledge to learn about the product.

With SnapLogic, users can find any errors and glitches. Once users find out the issues in the product, then they can solve the problems within the tool, which is a straightforward process.

It is a scalable solution.

Around seven to eight employees in our company use the solution.

For the installation part, if you have separate software within SnapLogic and you are able to download the tool from the cloud, it will be best.

One person can manage the product's deployment phase.

The solution can be deployed in five to ten minutes.

The product's deployment phase was taken care of by the in-house team.

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

My company can suggest Talend or Pentaho for the banking domain since both are open-source tools. But in SnapLogic, there is a security process, and we also have a different authentication process. For banking domain and health insurance, my company suggests SnapLogic. My company usually makes suggestions to others based on the requirements.

I recommend the product to security teams.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

I mainly use it for data integration and some API tasks.

I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features. There are quite a lot of snaps that are pre-delivered and available for use. The level of control in terms of the granularity of process control is quite good. 

I also like the whole child-parent pipeline feature; it allows me to break up a process into smaller pieces and then have one big pipeline that controls these smaller pipelines.

I am quite happy with the solution and do not have specific requirements at the moment. I tend to frequently communicate with SnapLogic to ask for additional features, and they have been responsive. While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently.

I have used the solution for three or four years.

I would rate customer service an eight and a half out of ten.

For me, the initial setup is simple. I have used both an on-premises solution and the platform-as-a-service option, and both are quite straightforward.

The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower.

I considered MuleSoft and found SnapLogic to be cheaper and their offering to be a lot less complex. There is not a lot of pricing, processing, the number of things, or other complicated aspects.

I can recommend SnapLogic to other users and the product overall. Overall product rating is nine out of ten.
