SAP Process Orchestration vs SnapLogic comparison

"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."

"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."

"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The solution is stable."

"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."

"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."

"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."

"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."

"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."

"SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Boomi in terms of debugging. You can move the mouse to a place, and it will record and show the data easily."

"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"

"It is a scalable solution."

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."

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

"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."

"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."

"Some configurations can be a little tricky."

"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."

"The solution could be more scalable."

"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."

"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."

"What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. 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. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools."

"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."

"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."

"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."

"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."

"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."

"The problem is that SnapLogic doesn't offer a wide variety of connectors. For example, integrating with Salesforce is not that easy."

"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."

"There are fees in addition to the licensing."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."

"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."

"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."

"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"I used the free trial."

"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."

"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."

"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."

"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."

"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."

"The license model is based on consumption."
