Software Engineer at Wipro Technologies
Developers gain flexibility to build custom controls with numerous integration options
Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases. Regarding AI-driven process optimizations, we have not implemented these features with IBM WebSphere BPMS. In recent versions, IBM has introduced some generative AI features, and we plan to migrate to the newer versions within approximately one year.

Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications
They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere BPMS is the systematic framework it provides for building different systems."
"It has allowed the companies that I work for to expose their services outside of their own network."
"IBM WebSphere BPMS provides significant return on investments, especially in the BAW component."
"I definitely would recommend this product as a solution as I do with most of our clients."
"It's a good product."
"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"This product is flexible in its ability to integrate processes and it can be extended and integrated with other software."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great. The speed of delivery is good."
"My teams can connect to new partners and data sources in hours, not days."
"The best features SnapLogic offers include a fantastic interface, and being able to drag and drop and connect core components with minimal configuration and coding is really helpful and streamlines the deployment process."
"As I mentioned, we evaluated MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, and SnapLogic, and on top of that, we recently evaluated one technology called Pentaho for an integration platform; however, we found that SnapLogic is the best option currently on the market, so we have gone with it."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization as it is my primary automation platform and integrations, touching pretty much all of my major systems."
"It is a scalable solution."
"With SnapLogic, I have been able to complete projects in approximately four times less time than I used to."
"We don't get failures, we don't get issues, and we don't get week on week issues with the processes; it just works."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
 

Cons

"We have problems with the slowness and the UI and that impacts the user experience for who use it."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
"There is a need for more capabilities in low-code and no-code development to increase efficiency and make implementation simpler."
"We've experienced a lot of glitches on the product."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"They need more monitoring capability."
"The user interface could be improved, because you can say it is not the best on the market."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"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."
"In the future, SnapLogic can make connectors with LLM connectors which are available recently. They can work on that aspect. Sometimes those connectors have low performance or don't generate accurate results, so that can be improved."
"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."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"We won't get help from technical support."
"We tried to leverage SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform (IIP) with the AWS platform, but utilizing SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform (IIP) towards the AWS platform has been a little complex when compared to an Azure private cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
