We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and SnapLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It works with multiple servers and offers high availability."
"We are mostly using transmission rules. It has a lot of functions and logic related to transmission. It is a user-friendly tool with in-built functions."
"As a data integration platform, it is easy to use. It is quite robust and useful for volumetric analysis when you have huge volumes of data. We have tested it for up to ten million rows, and it is robust enough to process ten million rows internally with its parallel processing. Its error logging mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand than other data integration tools. The newer version of InfoSphere has the data catalog and IDC lineage. They are helpful in the easy traceability of columns and tables."
"Compared to other ETL tools, DataStage has excellent debugging and development capabilities. And the availability of connectors, even though we sometimes have to opt for specific ones. Also, the availability of patches is good."
"The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"In IBM DataStage, the Transformer is the most valuable feature for me. It enables me to apply complex transformations, generate the gateway key, and map source tables into the session table."
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"Finding logs is very easy on the solution."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Boomi in terms of debugging. You can move the mouse to a place, and it will record and show the data easily."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 solution could improve its API management."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"It doesn't have any big data connections. It would be good to have them because most of the systems are moving towards big data. There should also be a user-friendly way to interact with the cloud. Its loading process is very slow. It takes a lot of time for around 5 or 6 million records, and we are not able to provide real-time data to the vendors due to this delay. Its performance needs to be improved. It is also like a legacy system. It is not updated much. In higher versions, they only do small changes. We would like to have new features and new technologies."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"The response time from support is slow and needs to be improved."
"The template mapping could be easier."
"It would be useful to provide support for Python, AR, and Java."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"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."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
