Achieves rapid results in data migration and has an intuitive user interface
I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL. The interface is interactive, allowing me to quickly learn how to run pipelines and achieve production-ready results swiftly. This agility translates to cost savings, especially for smaller projects and proofs of concept, as less time and effort are needed to deliver results.
Alokik Gupta - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective microservice and task management but needs more dashboard features
The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable. By injecting the dependency of Spring Cloud Dataflow into our Spring Boot application and annotating it with 'enable task annotation', we can manage tasks effectively. Additionally, the platform allows us to create pipelines and use microservices like a logical AND gate, giving us greater control over our microservices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
"Despite having no prior experience in SnapLogic, we managed to build, test, and prepare it for release in just three hours, handling heavy data efficiently."
"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"It is a stable solution."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."
"The ease of deployment on Kubernetes, the seamless integration for orchestration of various pipelines, and the visual dashboard that simplifies operations even for non-specialists such as quality analysts."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."
"The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable."
"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it allows us to use different batch data sources, retrieve the data, and then do the data processing, after which we can convert and store it in the target."
 

Cons

"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 solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow is not an easy-to-use tool, so improvements are required."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."
"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."
"The solution's community support could be improved."
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."
"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
"There were instances of deployment pipelines getting stuck, and the dashboard not always accurately showing the application status, requiring manual intervention such as rerunning applications or refreshing the dashboard."
"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"I used the free trial."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"The pricing is okay."
"If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."
"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
"The solution provides value for money, and we are currently using its community edition."
