We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect 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."Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"Technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"Provides good security features."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"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."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"The interface could be better."
"The product should improve its support."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"One more important point is that if IBM improves its CI/CD capabilities, it will make a big difference. Right now, I have to create my own CI/CD setup from scratch for every client, which is inefficient."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."
"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."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
