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."Confluence's greatest asset is its user-friendly interface, coupled with its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with a vast range of other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Confluent is the wide range of features provided. They're leading the market in this category."
"The client APIs are the most valuable feature."
"The monitoring module is impressive."
"With Confluent Cloud we no longer need to handle the infrastructure and the plumbing, which is a concern for Confluent. The other advantage is that all portfolios have access to the data that is being shared."
"Kafka Connect framework is valuable for connecting to the various source systems where code doesn't need to be written."
"A person with a good IT background and HTML will not have any trouble with Confluent."
"The documentation process is fast with the tool."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"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."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"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."
"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 solution could improve its API management."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"It could have more themes. They should also have more reporting-oriented plugins as well. It would be great to have free custom reports that can be dispatched directly from Jira."
"In Confluent, there could be a few more VPN options."
"Currently, in the early stages, I see a gap on the security side. If you are using the SaaS version, we would like to get a fuller, more secure solution that can be adopted right out of the box. Confluence could do a better job sharing best practices or a reusable pattern that others have used, especially for companies that can not afford to hire professional services from Confluent."
"It could be improved by including a feature that automatically creates a new topic and puts failed messages."
"It could have more integration with different platforms."
"The pricing model should include the ability to pick features and be charged for them only."
"Confluent has a good monitoring tool, but it's not customizable."
"It requires some application specific connectors which are lacking. This needs to be added."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"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."
"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."
