Featured Reviews

VinethSuresh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Sushrit Moundekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported building flexible data pipelines and streamlined ETL orchestration
There should be a dedicated support team for Talend Open Studio. We do have a support team, but at times it is critical for us to fix certain things within one or two hours. Usually, the support team takes some 12 hours, which is the standard edition of support. If we could have round-the-clock support, we would be able to resolve many issues which we encounter during the development part. The initial setup for Talend Open Studio is a little complex. We need to have a dedicated person who has an understanding of Talend Open Studio as a tool. It takes some level of expertise, so it is not an easy process, but once we have a dedicated associate who is knowledgeable in that particular field, it becomes comparatively easier.

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 an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."
"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"
"It's more developer-friendly, and development can be done at a faster phase."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"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 solution could improve its API management."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
 

Cons

"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"The dashboards regarding scheduled tasks need further improvement."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"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."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
"The solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"The pricing is okay."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"It is an open-source product."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
