Easy to use, less coding and user-friendly in terms of debugging but not very comprehensive solution
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. With Boomi, you have to double-click, open it, and then choose which information you want to see. Sometimes, you don't know what information will be displayed or what information you're not seeing. You have to have experience with Boomi to be able to understand, but with SnapLogic, it's working. It offers the same core functionalities as other integration tools. I don't see a clear differentiation. They are all competing in the same market, targeting the same customer base. I think broader technology trends make it harder to see the distinctions that may have existed previously. So, we are moving towards Boomi. We're even exploring Microsoft Azure integration services now.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The data lineage is great."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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 API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"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."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
 

Cons

"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"I used the free trial."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The license model is based on consumption."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
