SnapLogic Other Advice

Selva Dhoom - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

I'm not sure which cloud provider was used by my company for SnapLogic, as that was maintained by a different team. I'm just an application user.

SnapLogic requires maintenance, but the administration work or maintenance work was done by a separate team, so I'm not quite clear in terms of maintenance. There are releases I'm aware of, where I would get a notification that the product would be offline for some time because the team will be doing certain enhancements. The administration and maintenance team is given information on the new releases for this version, so my team, particularly the application development team, would test it and make appropriate changes if required. Sometimes there's a scene where one snap was getting removed and you need to replace it with a different snap, particularly a newer release or version. SnapLogic has regular maintenance, release, or version handled by a different team within my company.

There are approximately thirty to fifty users of SnapLogic within the company. There's a team dedicated to administration activities in terms of deployment, maintenance, release activities, and providing access. There's a team of application developers which I'm part of that uses the tool to create pipelines, work on SnapLogic to develop apps, and do ETL transmission.

I didn't work with the solution daily. I only worked with it whenever required.

SnapLogic is used comparatively less by multiple organizations. I would opt for other traditional tools that have a lot of other features, which have a built-in cache for faster performance and can process huge ETL load volumes, such as Informatica, Talend, including PySpark. I would rate SnapLogic less.

My advice to people looking into implementing SnapLogic is that if you have basic ETL knowledge, you can do self-study on this. There is also documentation for every snap, so even if you don't know how to build pipelines or how to work on this tool, the documentation would be really helpful. There's a help button in the tool that when clicked, directly takes you to that particular snap's documentation. You can self-study and you can create it yourself. External training is not required, and that is one pro about SnapLogic. The UI portion is also good. There is a separate window for pipeline creation and you can go to the Snaps and folder areas separately.

I'm rating SnapLogic eight out of ten.

My company is a customer of SnapLogic. It is an AWS partner, but not a SnapLogic partner.

Quarterly, we will have a release. I don't remember the exact version number we are on. However, if there is a change, usually quarterly, they will upgrade your servers. It's almost automatic.

We have a provision where it will wait for some time. Once you give a confirmation, it'll be done. That is a hard limit, is also there.  A soft limit is when they advise "Upgrade by the first of August," for example, then, by the first of August, the changes will be there, however, your system will be running in the previous version. Typically, after a week or 15 to 20 days, it'll be a hard limit. It will ask you to upgrade your system.

If a company needs to use SnapLogic, first they need to consider why they need it. If you have all your applications moving from on-premise to cloud migration, this is one of the best tools for that. You will have most of your connectivity in the cloud, and if you want to do all the transformations in the cloud, and if you need to push more data, this is the best tool.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I'm using the latest version of SnapLogic, but I don't remember the version number.

In my organization, across the board, I'm not sure how many people use SnapLogic, but at my location, there are thirty to forty users of the solution. In terms of roles, all users are developers.

My advice to first time users of SnapLogic or to anyone looking into implementing it is that if there is a requirement to move data across systems or to integrate data across different systems, I'd definitely recommend SnapLogic, because it's a tool that's pretty easy to use. Much of it is only drag and drop and it is a low code tool. I'll very much recommend SnapLogic to others.

My rating for SnapLogic is eight out of ten. There are still issues for a user like me in terms of debugging in SnapLogic. It gives very limited options for debugging, and that's a major area to work on, so I didn't give it a perfect score.

My company is a customer of SnapLogic.

I'm a customer and an end-user. 

I'm using the latest version of the solution and just upgraded last week. 

People should try the solution and try the free POC. People should try it and compare it to others, and, if it works within the environment and the necessary integrations, it's a good solution for them. 

Right now, the product is in the process of not really adding new things, but rather enhancing all of the features they have. They're also implementing machine learning and AI right now. They're also moving towards big data. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

It is an okay product. I would rate it a five out of ten. It is suitable for small company sizes. Maybe for medium-sized as well. 

But for enterprise businesses, Boomi might be a better option.

My company can suggest Talend or Pentaho for the banking domain since both are open-source tools. But in SnapLogic, there is a security process, and we also have a different authentication process. For banking domain and health insurance, my company suggests SnapLogic. My company usually makes suggestions to others based on the requirements.

I recommend the product to security teams.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.  I would recommend SnapLogic to others, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, SnapLogic is not suitable for big data processing. Second, the pricing can be expensive, but it's generally in line with other iPaaS platforms.

If you have real issues to solve, simply get started. The time to observe SnapLogic’s ability to solve your problems will be equal or less than doing traditional vendor vetting/investigations.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

The SnapLogic platform is enhanced by the use of a snap called Map or snap, which is believed to be powered by IRIS Intelligence. Understanding how these snap works are essential for mastering the SnapLogic platform.

The solution used to be CTO based but now has a wider field of implementation so there is no limitation to how or where you can use it.

The solution is suitable for any kind of organization. Before implementing, ask an experienced consultant about the solution's benefits and how it might be a good fit to your architecture and needs. 

I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use the solution on a daily basis.

I'd advise other companies that if it's combined with other tools it will make for a very strong solution.

I'd recommend the product. We already have clients on it and many of our team members have tested it.

I'd rate the solution six out of ten overall, simply because, as a solution, it's still growing. It's not mature yet. If it had simpler logic processing, I'd probably bump it up to an eight. It's easy to use, scalable and reusable and it's overall a great product.

I rate SnapLogic a six out of ten. If you have a cloud-based business requirement, you should go for it. But, if your business requires multiple integration tooling, look for other options.

There are cheaper tools on the market, but when you compare what they offer with what SnapLogic offers, you will find that you may pay a little more for SnapLogic, but you get a lot more in return. At the same time, SnapLogic offers the same capabilities that much more expensive platforms on the market offer. 

My advice to those who want to implement an integration platform to try using the free version of SnapLogic and to check all possibilities that SnapLogic offers. This is the best way to see SnapLogic's benefits. 

On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would give SnapLogic a nine for overall performance.

IT Analyst. at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

I have experience in both WSO2 and SnapLogic. I worked as a consultant and my client used SnapLogic for retail.

I utilized hybrid deployment for SnapLogic. The company had Plexus, so for the CloudPlex, SnapLogic provided the managed service and for the GroundPlex, it was deployed in AWS.

In terms of the maintenance of the solution, at one point in time, the company had fifty developers working on SnapLogic, and there was also a citizen initiative where citizen users were created, so there were close to sixty developers. There was an operations team of ten people and out of the ten there were seven engineers, and there was a team leader, and then a manager. The team didn't just handle technical errors, as it also provided functional support for SnapLogic.

I'm rating SnapLogic eight out of ten.

I think the master data management, use-cases, and high-volume data transfers are good. Each product has its own strengths and weaknesses. Solutions such as Mulesoft will focus heavily on the engineering soft bundle.

If SnapLogic meets the needs and requirements of the use cases and the business, then I would recommend this solution to anyone who is interested in using it.

I would rate SnapLogic a seven out of ten.
