Merge has streamlined change data capture and supports cost‑effective ELT hiring flexibility
Regarding optimization, I have observed that on the Snowflake side, with Merge being used on a table that has micro partitions and has been well maintained, the statement execution will be very fast. This helps in both cost savings and performance-wise optimization. It would be beneficial if there is a common public community so that people who may not be aware of this will become more aware. Additionally, when we do joins within the Merge statement, there is always a chance of getting duplicates. Snowflake added a feature called QUALIFY that allows us to filter based on ranking and eliminate duplicate records. If such a feature were available in regular Merge statements within any database, that would be helpful. This would eliminate the need to rebuild another subquery inside the Merge statement.

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

"One significant advantage is the ability to go with open source and not depend on proprietary ETL tools, which saves licensing costs and allows me to hire broadly for common SQL and data warehousing skills instead of niche tool expertise."
"Merge has positively impacted my organization by being extremely useful and allowing me to review multiple files at increased speed."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization because the professional services team has been running the pipelines and migrations very easily without any technical knowledge or dependency on technicalities."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually, making it extremely easy to connect to various business systems and product integrations rapidly."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization by costing a lot less than our previous ETLs, saving about 50 percent of our running costs without having done anything, just by using SnapLogic."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to bring a lot of external data in for our suppliers so that we can then utilize that information to start reducing ad hoc queries within the business, improve customer relationships, improve customer experience, improve supplier relationships, and it is even now being used as negotiation tools with suppliers."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"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."
"The solution is great due to the fact that it is really flexible."
"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

"Merge could be improved in terms of scriptability, as I recall it was not as strong as Beyond Compare in this regard."
"Additionally, when we do joins within the Merge statement, there is always a chance of getting duplicates."
"Sometimes there are glitches when moving a design pipeline from the development to production environment."
"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."
"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."
"As for improvements, the monitor that I currently use sometimes gets stuck and I am not able to expand and view the child pipelines in a much easier way."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"The pricing model of SnapLogic is something I have a complete personal opinion about. I feel SnapLogic is very expensive compared to others."
"For SnapLogic's AI capabilities, I would say its accuracy is around 85 to 90 percent, and reliability is also around the same, meaning I cannot blindly trust the output and should always review and improve it if required."
