We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerCenter and SnapLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like the most is that we have to deal with less while writing the queries."
"Ease and speed of building integrations, especially integrations between different applications, such as our Hospital Information System."
"Informatica PowerCenter is very good for integrating a huge amount of data in a very short duration, such as a minute. It is also very easy to use. After you provide the source and the target, mappings are automatically done, which makes it easy to use for the development team."
"Technical support, and their approach is good. They have a support portal and support tickets. If you open a ticket it has multiple levels of severity from level one to very high or critical."
"Good interface, reasonable documentation."
"It reduces a lot of legacy coding."
"The interface is very clean and clear."
"Can manage a huge quantity of data and provide reliability."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"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 solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"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."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"The initial setup is not straightforward. You need expertise to do it."
"The pricing could be improved."
"This product is going to decommission in the next couple of years."
"Include more instruments for LOGs analysis, interpretation, and job corrections."
"The licensing cost for Informatica is very high. Other all-in-one solutions have much lower prices than Informatica."
"Integrating new tools can be tricky and challenging."
"Areas for improvement in Informatica PowerCenter include scalability and high availability or the clustering configuration because that's still very basic. The elasticity or scaling of the platform needs a lot of improvement. For example, when it comes to DR handling or building an active-active or active-passive cluster, Informatica PowerCenter is still not that powerful. Automation also needs improvement in the solution. Improving automation leads to some improvement in the stability of Informatica PowerCenter and other aspects related to it. What I'd like to see in the next release of Informatica PowerCenter is real-time capability because the solution is mainly for patches, and to have real-time integration, you need to count on some additional components from Informatica. I would expect more integration and a complete platform in terms of real-time capability or patching with minimal interventions or minimal components to be aligned together."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version. Also, we have experienced some stability issues with the Workflow Monitor application."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"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."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"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."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
