Achieves rapid results in data migration and has an intuitive user interface
What is our primary use case?
I utilize SnapLogic for data migration and data integration projects. I use it mainly as a middleware tool, working with a lot of SAP data. By transferring SAP data into more cost-effective databases, I can run analytics without the high cost associated with SAP provider analytics.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
SnapLogic is doing well in evolving with the AI landscape. However, if the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy to learn for new users, it would be greatly beneficial.
Additionally, improving AI capabilities to be easily recognizable would enhance the user experience.
For how long have I used the solution?
Although my use of SnapLogic has been intermittent, I have worked with it for close to seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability of SnapLogic as nearly ten out of ten. It has shown to be robust and reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the scalability of SnapLogic as eight out of ten. While it performs well, there is some room for improvement in this area.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten. They are prompt in responding to inquiries or issues, providing quick solutions.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used DBT along with Airflow as part of our current cloud data integration.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of SnapLogic has become very easy, comfortable, and swift.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
SnapLogic is positioned at around seven or eight out of ten in terms of pricing. There are competitors offering competitive pricing in the market.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
DBT is a main competitor of SnapLogic. For enterprise-level solutions, I prefer DBT, yet for smaller internal projects, SnapLogic is more efficient.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate SnapLogic as nine out of ten. I recommend SnapLogic for other users due to its efficiency and user-friendly features. Medium and large-scale enterprises will benefit most from SnapLogic as small-scale businesses usually rely more on open-source options. I rated my overall experience with SnapLogic as nine out of ten.
Vesatile and compehensive platform with a wide range of features.
What do you like best about the product?
One thing I like a lot about SnapLogic IIP is its comprehensive expression language, along with the possibility to use jsonpath syntax for manipulating data. Additionally I enjoy the active community where users can find solutions to most problem, and when no solution is available in the community, most of the time a SnapLogic employee or other contributer can help solve it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing really is that there are no proper "ticket" system when raising an issue to the support. In my opinion it would be good to be able to reference a ticket ID or something like that when you communicate with support or the partner manager.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us move large amounts of data from ERP to data warehouse in a stateless and fast way. In addition it gives us the opportunity to create reliable app to app integrations with relative ease.
Versatile and capable, expensive and lacking some features
What do you like best about the product?
It is very versatile product, easy to get started and create integrations with many different systems and integration platforms, cloud and on premise solutions.
Time to market is very respected among the business representatives.
Very good possibilities to bridge cloud and on-premise infrastrucutures.
Stable products, having nodes which are headless is a benefit during implementation, easy to scale and move nodes if needed.
Extensibility with custom snaps is also positive where partners can expand with new functionality.
Customer support comes back in a timely manner and helps to resolve issues and provide patches.
We use the product for many different integrations continously, business critical flows are running well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Structuring objects in pipelines and tasks is not effecient for integrations, it is good for API based flows.
I would prefer a possibility to structure having each integration in an "agreement" which could hold together detection from input channel polling, transformation steps (pipelines) and possibly send/output steps.
In the current setup we have to construct message queue consumers, file pollers and other input channels in pipelines which are either continously running and allocating a lot of resources and slots (due to many sub pipelines in the flow) or executed on schedules.
It would be good to break out and add possibility to have lightweight input channels which can consume from all the possible sources (maybe based on pipelines) and then route the data picked up in to specific agreements/integration pipelines based on detection rules.
I would prefer to have more support for unit testing of pipelines, such as creating test cases for pipelines or parts of pipelines which could be used for validating after changes are done to further strengthen safe deployments in to production.
It is a bit slow to process and develop, we have long processing times of validations which is not very effecient during development.
Further strengthen the integration with git and other source control.
Enable support for backing up data outside snaplogic in the solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick time to market.
Connectivity support with many standard products.
Ease of development and partially for troubleshooting with the enabling of validation and possibility to analyze data in each step.

Snaplogic Platform user experience
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to monitor all the pipelines and integrations across project spaces. Easy to use and navigate. Whenever need a help regarding some support ease to contact the customer support and getting in time response.
Integrating pipeline changes/deployments more than often is quite sound.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far did not came across any drawbacks. Just the new monitor could be better in user experience. Since a dashboard has raw and everything in place to easily navigate and troubleshoot things. Whereas, monitor seems a bit less user friendly. Could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To locate precise errors in the tasks when stopped or errors. Also, to determine the root cause of problems in any project spaces which helps in providing proper support to clients. Deploying changes into snaplogic seems easy.
I utilise Snaplogic on behalf of clients every day to monitor their integrations.
What do you like best about the product?
When building integrations, I appreciate Snaplogic will use pattern recognition to suggest following snaps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think sometimes, their dashboard UI is missing some basic features, suching as column manipulation. I would like to be able to extend certain fields. There are also other features I would like to see which would allow me to filter better dependant on the success of the pipelines execution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we see a lot of clients utilising snaplogic for big data systems transformation, and order processing between ERPs to 3PLs.
