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."Data synchronization tasks."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"The solution provides increased efficiency while still being user-friendly and easy to operate."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"The most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Integration for our clients are the AI capabilities within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"The support is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"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 error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"The current features are a bit complicated, and we need to write big scripts and test."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"I would like to see support for more data sources."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"The cloud version of the Informatica, it's a very substandard product. They might say it's enterprise-ready but it's not at all ready. They need to add more features, such as improved data replication features. If you look at other tools, such as Matillion they are now cloud-native and flexible. Additionally, Informatica Cloud Data Integration should have a good migration strategy from Informatica PowerCenter to Informatica Cloud Data Integration."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
