We performed a comparison between SnapLogic and TIBCO BusinessWorks 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."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 stable solution."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"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."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"The solution is stable. We haven't had any serious technical issues."
"The initial setup of TIBCO BusinessWorks was straightforward since we have used the solution in our organization for a long time."
"The most valuable feature is the low-code platform."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."
"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."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"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."
"Though it is a stable product, if we have an issue with the product, it gets difficult, and it gets really difficult to explain the issue to the support team. Also, it takes a long time to get resolved."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"Technical support is average. It's not the best."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
