SnapLogic's customer service is mixed; some praise its effectiveness, while others criticize response times and expertise.
When working with AWS GovCloud, we often did not get an answer in time because AWS seemed more focused on the commercial side.
Owner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
I am happy with the technical support from AWS.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
The responsiveness, technical expertise, knowledge base and documentation, support channels, and continuous improvement were impeccable.

The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
AWS Database Migration Service is scalable and adaptable, but may face compatibility and latency issues with large data sets.
Sentiment score
7.3
SnapLogic offers scalable, elastic architecture for managing cloud workloads, suitable for diverse cases with adjustable nodes and configurations.
Even if there was a failure, we could catch it and rerun it.
Software architect at Cognizant
AWS's scalable nature involves a human approach, meaning it is not auto-scalable.
Lead Architect at Fracral
While scalability is good, latency exists due to our business nature.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
After implementing SnapLogic, pipelines that processed one to two million records per week can now handle five to 10 million records without additional infrastructure.
Product Manager at a university with 501-1,000 employees
SnapLogic is very scalable, and it can be adjusted based on our requirements, considering the organization type and the data it produces.
Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I rate the scalability of SnapLogic as eight out of ten.
Senior Data Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
AWS Database Migration Service is reliable and stable, with occasional manual interventions needed for large data volumes or constant migrations.
Sentiment score
7.6
SnapLogic is praised for its stability, with minimal downtime, though occasional issues with large data volumes occur.
For DMS version upgrades, we schedule downtime during business hours so that midnight workloads are not interrupted and morning business can run smoothly.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
I would rate the stability of SnapLogic as nearly ten out of ten.
Senior Data Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
But recently, in a year, I haven't found many performance issues in SnapLogic.
Technical Specialist App Development at Birlasoft IndiaLtd.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Database Migration Service needs improved functionality, compatibility, monitoring, and documentation to enhance user experience and platform support.
SnapLogic users want improved APIs, stability, AI features, and better tools for integrations, data management, and multiple systems handling.
DMS works within AWS ecosystem, but they also have to look for third party solutions. Now Snowflake is a bigger player, or Databricks.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
Sometimes, those who implement the service face problems and resolve it, but I may not even know what problems they faced.
Owner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
We require a data pipeline that can be read without latency and without any delay.
Architect at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees
If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy to learn for new users, it would be greatly beneficial.
Senior Data Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
They can improve more visuals, with graphical representations, such as how many things can be added, how many users can be added or dropped, and how the back-end nodes can be graphically shown in a better way.
Technical Specialist App Development at Birlasoft IndiaLtd.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Database Migration Service is cost-effective long-term, with pricing varying by usage, migration complexity, and regional differences.
SnapLogic's pricing varies with usage, noted as costly compared to some tools, but offers valuable capabilities and scalability.
There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
SnapLogic is positioned at around seven or eight out of ten in terms of pricing.

Valuable Features

AWS Database Migration Service offers scalable, cost-effective migration with easy administration, real-time synchronization, and high data security.
SnapLogic offers powerful integration with drag-and-drop interface, real-time processing, error-handling, and extensive pre-built connectors for seamless automation.
AWS offers a way to build jobs that are scalable, expandable for new and current tables, and can be deployed quickly.
Lead Architect at Fracral
You can copy the database at first without impacting your current database, and then use CDC to copy incremental changes.
Owner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The scalability option is another valuable feature because AWS provides its own compute behind it, so I can scale up and scale down at any given point.
Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
I also like the whole child-parent pipeline feature; it allows me to break up a process into smaller pieces and then have one big pipeline that controls these smaller pipelines.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
SnapLogic provides inbuilt Snaplets, such as creating and closing an audit ID, removing duplicates, joining tables, writing to Oracle, files, XML, SF, SMTP connections, and more.

Delivery Head Data Engineering at BAGIC
Streamlines data migration across platforms with cost-effective and scalable solutions
We have the continuous data integration feature, but it does not work very well in our given ecosystem because we have huge data volume, and it reads from archive log rather than the redo sequence. That is where it lacks, so we are not able to do continuous streaming data injection. The ability to handle heterogeneous migrations for our organization is adequate. I do not see a major value add, or see it as a marquee feature. It is a good tool, but we do not have that sort of uses requirement. In my 10 plus years of experience, I do not see that kind of requirement where I have to replicate it in real time. I leverage AWS CloudWatch for addressing migration issues. The major challenges come across CDC. We have created latency filter and everything, but there is no way to control it. Due to the nature of our business, the transactions increase during month end and year end. My transactions are supposed to increase, my workloads on my core system increases, but my DMS is not able to keep up with them, even if I increase it to a higher side. Improvements could be made in AWS Database Migration Service. Because of that, I am moving out of DMS now to a STRIIM solution. DMS works within AWS ecosystem, but they also have to look for third party solutions. Now Snowflake is a bigger player, or Databricks. Something that could be possible as a connector, whether paid or free, but giving as a connector to that ecosystem as well.

Automation has transformed daily operations and now delivers faster, more accurate data flows
The best features in SnapLogic are the drag-and-drop interface which makes it easy to build data and application flows. No heavy coding is required, making it ideal for both technical and non-technical users. SnapLogic also offers pre-built snaps, real-time and batch processing, API management and integration, cloud and hybrid support, dashboarding and monitoring, error handling and retry mechanisms, scalability, security and governance, and transformation capabilities with built-in functions to clean and transform data, expressions, aggregations, and mappings. SnapLogic offers auto-mapping and smart schema detection as additional features. SnapLogic can detect schemas automatically, which helps when sources evolve or change, and this matters because there is less manual mapping work.
