Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
SnapLogic offers scalable, adaptable data management, supporting various workloads with positive user feedback, especially in cloud and hybrid environments.
Sentiment score

TIBCO BusinessWorks is scalable and versatile, but users report mixed experiences with autoscaling and cost issues outside the cloud.
After implementing SnapLogic, pipelines that processed one to two million records per week can now handle five to 10 million records without additional infrastructure.
Product Manager at a university with 501-1,000 employees
That means you can connect any system or application anytime, whether day or night, scheduled or dynamic, and anywhere, whether it is cloud or on-premises.

It supports enterprise-wide integration and has a cloud-native architecture.
Integration Consultant at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is not like AWS where I can add memory or more servers.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
SnapLogic is stable with minimal downtime, though occasional issues and better support are noted compared to alternatives.
Sentiment score
7.4
TIBCO BusinessWorks is stable and reliable, though version 6 faces migration challenges and SAP Adapter issues, averaging high ratings.
I would rate the stability of SnapLogic as nearly ten out of ten.
Senior Data Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
But recently, in a year, I haven't found many performance issues in SnapLogic.

Room For Improvement

SnapLogic users seek improvements in transparency, training, stability, system connectivity, cost, error messaging, and overall user support.
TIBCO BusinessWorks faces usability issues, high costs, inefficiencies, and lacks advanced integration with AI, IoT, and cloud.
We require a data pipeline that can be read without latency and without any delay.
Architect at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees
IP whitelisting is the area that SnapLogic definitely has to improve.
Integration Solution Architect at Hitachi Digital
I would like to see if the execution can show the data flowing into those individual snaps and provide the same kind of error that I receive when validating, as that would be much more useful.
Data and Engineering Lead at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
The learning curve takes time compared to webMethods.
Senior Analyst at Etisalat
They should ensure that what was working in the previous version must also work in the new version of BW six.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
 

Setup Cost

SnapLogic offers subscription-based pricing, seen as valuable for mid-to-large integrations despite higher costs than some alternatives.
TIBCO BusinessWorks pricing is costly for smaller companies but more reasonable for large enterprises with flexible resources.
I feel SnapLogic is very expensive compared to others.
Integration Solution Architect at Hitachi Digital
There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
SnapLogic is positioned at around seven or eight out of ten in terms of pricing.
Senior Data Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
Pricing is for an enterprise application, so the company pays for it with a company license.
Software Developer at Telkom Mobile
The current licensing cost for the product involves our resource sourcing team for negotiations.
E2E Delivery Expert - Ignite Delivery & Technical Enablement at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees
Because we have enterprise licenses, the pricing for TIBCO BusinessWorks is quite reasonable for us, so we do not see any issue.
Lead Solutions Architect at UNSW Australia
 

Valuable Features

SnapLogic offers powerful ETL features, intuitive UI, AI integration, and enhances workflows, benefiting organizations with cost-saving and productivity.
TIBCO BusinessWorks provides user-friendly, scalable solutions with robust integration and low-code environment for efficient connectivity and rapid deployment.
I also like the whole child-parent pipeline feature; it allows me to break up a process into smaller pieces and then have one big pipeline that controls these smaller pipelines.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
SnapLogic provides inbuilt Snaplets, such as creating and closing an audit ID, removing duplicates, joining tables, writing to Oracle, files, XML, SF, SMTP connections, and more.

Integration Consultant at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
Low-code integrations have automated workflows and save time across enterprise applications
They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming. We are spending a lot of time on error handling. More detailed error messages and root cause analysis tools can be added, which will definitely improve the developer experience. In the Ultra real-time integrations, we can monitor the last execution history of only 100 runs. That can be increased, which would be one of the platform improvements that can really be taken. However, they are doing very well because lots of ChatGPTs and AI assistants have been added in the last two years, which makes a very good effect. SnapLogic is the only platform that provides this kind of visibility to the developers. Anyone, even if they have low experience and are starting their IT careers, can directly jump in and learn SnapLogic. The documentation is very easy to learn. Anyone, even a layman, can refer to that documentation and go through its Snap-pack to understand what configuration has to be done to use this Snap-pack. This makes SnapLogic definitely exceptional in the market. You won't find such comprehensive documentation in other iPaaS tools. The draggable packs truly demonstrate its power in usability. Governance and security are also well in place in SnapLogic, but there are areas for improvement. They can add more granular role and permission controls that provide greater flexibility for large enterprises. For example, if you have to provide access to 70 users in one shot, that can be improved. More improvements in policy enforcement capabilities are possible as well. SnapLogic can improve the data lineage part to achieve better end-to-end visibility into data movement. Also, during validation, we can only see up to 2,000 records currently. They can increase that from 2,000 to 20,000. They can put more visibility on costs and resource visibility, with better reporting on platform usage, processing consumption, and cost optimization opportunities.

Long-term integration has supported real-time data exchange and simplified adapter-based workflows
The challenges I have faced with TIBCO BusinessWorks mostly relate to financial applications that do not come with those adapters, so that requires custom coding. The features currently in TIBCO BusinessWorks are good enough, but going forward, as we are doing a lot of AI-based integrations, I would like to see TIBCO come up with more prompt-driven configurations rather than people having to understand deep technology. AI-driven features in TIBCO BusinessWorks would be beneficial, so that our business tech BA can do the development rather than needing programmers. More artificial intelligence functionality would help so people do not have to code.
