We performed a comparison between Informatica Enterprise Data Catalog and SnapLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like EDC's self-service capabilities. You can put the catalog on the intranet inside the organization, so users can search for something. People in the research world have specialized systems, and you might find data from various places that sound similar."
"The product seems stable enough."
"The way that the solution scans is very useful."
"The solution scales well."
"It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities."
"The metadata management of Informatica is great."
"Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."
"The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best."
"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."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"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 product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen."
"The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"The scalability is tough."
"Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms."
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface."
"They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"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."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"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."
"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."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"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."
