Pros
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours.""It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools.""It is a scalable and versatile solution.""The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems.""Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation.""The product’s flexibility is valuable.""From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface.""Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."

"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.""The connection with SOAP is the best feature.""I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities.""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.""The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop.""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""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."

Cons
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized.""Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required.""Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement.""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.""SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use.""The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that.""SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up.""I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market.""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.""They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "An annual package license fee is required."
  • "The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."

  • "There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
  • "Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
