SAP Process Orchestration vs SnapLogic comparison

"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."

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

"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."

"It is simple to transfer files."

"SAP Process Orchestration offers easy maintainability and is a very flexible tool that easily adapts to any integration standards and artifacts that are readily available."

"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."

"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."

"The performance of data processing has increased."

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

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."

"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."

"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."

"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."

"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."

"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."

"It is a scalable solution."

"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."

"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."

"SAP needs to improve a lot in terms of the orchestration part so that more adapters can be provided to users, which are areas where the solution has downsides."

"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."

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

"The solution needs to move to the cloud."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."

"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."

"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."

"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."

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

"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"

"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."

"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."

"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."

"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."

"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 solution is highly-priced."

"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."

"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."

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

"The pricing for this solution is fine."

"It's not an expensive solution."

"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."

"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"

"The pricing is okay."

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

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."

"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."

"I used the free trial."

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