Dan Campeanu - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at ProVision
Automates tasks and manages multiple servers from a central location
The initial setup was quite complex. It required careful preparation of installation steps, as many tasks were not automated as expected. Special attention was needed to prepare groups, users, and permissions at each step to ensure a smooth setup process. Please do so accurately to avoid having to start over. Challenges encountered during deployment included issues with installation and configuration and difficulties detecting machines and executing tasks as expected. Some solutions were found through trial and error during installation, while others were discovered through recommendations from other users. Despite these challenges, the deployment and rollout of Orchestrator took approximately one and a half months to ensure proper functionality.

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

"Automation is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It can manage multiple servers and workstations from a single location."
"It's easy to use, scalable and reusable and it's overall a great product."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted our organization by providing an alternative to Informatica, which was challenging due to licensing and other issues."
"The solution has solved many problems for our customers and has improved their operations."
"After migrating from Informatica to SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform (IIP), we have seen specific outcomes, including saving almost 2 million dollars from one of our migration projects."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to remove a big risk and cost in removing a legacy integration platform, and we have built the foundations to gain significant efficiencies in our integrations."
"SnapLogic has impacted my organization positively because many of the automations we made with dragging and dropping files used to be done by a human, so now there is less human error and it saves the team as it requires fewer people to do the work."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
 

Cons

"I find the Orchestrator UI to be problematic."
"The product's management aspect needs enhancement."
"SnapLogic could improve its notification system. When a pipeline fails, the notification sometimes comes back as not very useful."
"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."
"If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data."
"When too many things are in the window, for example when I am monitoring processes and looking at the various pipelines, there is small real estate and a lot of information that I have to look at in order to figure out where my sources are, where my targets are, and what pipelines are running."
"Ultra Pipelines is great in terms of real-time ingestion and real-time jobs but it needs some adjustment."
"Every tool has some advantages and there are some other things that need improvement."
"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."
"When it comes to handling large volumes of data or high-throughput workloads, I have mixed opinions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"We obtained a license that bundled Windows Server with System Center at no additional cost."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
