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.
AntonioFonseca - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy-to-use product with the ability to generate code efficiently
Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently. This feature streamlines the integration process, saving developers time and effort. Additionally, the stability of the generated code is noteworthy, as it ensures reliability over time. Despite not always producing the most aesthetically pleasing code, it eliminates critical errors, reducing the burden on developers. This stability is particularly crucial in complex integration scenarios, where errors can have significant consequences.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"I find the reusability and the snaps to be very valuable features."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
"I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"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."
"I used the free trial."
"The pricing is okay."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"I have been using the open-source version."

Based on practical experience with both tools, I feel that Snaplogic will perform much better irrespective of data volumes. With the low code capability of Snaplogic, the development time is much less compared to Talend. The maintenance of the tool is also simple compared to Talend.

Both Talend and Snaplogic are good iPaaS solutions. If you have requirements beyond data integration, then Talend Data Fabric would score better than Snaplogic. If a simple setup, quick deployment, and ease of use are your criteria Snaplogic would score better. In a way, it is not fair to compare Talend with Snaplogic because both are trying to address a slightly different buyer groups.
