SnapLogic

Regarding automation, there were multiple business requirements to automate processes, such as sales processes and finance data. They wanted to integrate with different systems and achieve accurate results with the reflection of accurate data into correct databases. In that way, we can use SnapLogic  to integrate and load; it is ETL, extract, load, and transform with different databases. With those databases, it will be really helpful to use SnapLogic , which will serve as the middleware tool to make it easy to transform data.

For deployment, we were raising requests to another team. They were creating solutions to make it happen with the help of Postman; we were adding details, and using the Postman tool, they were integrating or deploying in another environment.

The tool is very user-friendly and not complex to understand. The structure of the platform is easy to understand, and we can build multiple systems with low-code, no-code, so it doesn't require much coding language. Now it is moving more into APIs, so we can create APIs to transfer data, which we can manage. It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock , OpenAI, Azure  AI. With those Snaps, we can integrate and move more into the AI world.

SnapLogic is hosted on Groundplex and AWS  cloud. It has pre-built connectors, which we call Snaps. That is very helpful to connect with multiple systems.

We have a dashboard monitor that is very graphical. We can measure exact times in seconds and how much time it took to complete the process. With that help, it's really helpful to see how much memory consumption is utilized. The monitor structure has very good features for SnapLogic.

SnapLogic is an integration tool which we use to integrate multiple systems such as source system, target system, cloud systems, and Groundplex systems. It is an iPaaS tool and a very strong tool. Now it is moving more into APIs and AI/ML tools; it is improving their knowledge. It is helpful for creating SnapLogic agents. In this way, SnapLogic is expanding their work.

In the future, SnapLogic can make connectors with LLM connectors which are available recently. They can work on that aspect. Sometimes those connectors have low performance or don't generate accurate results, so that can be improved. API management is going good, so they can improve more.

The next feature could include more managed capabilities. It has the manager component. They can improve more visuals, with graphical representations, such as how many things can be added, how many users can be added or dropped, and how the back-end nodes can be graphically shown in a better way.

I have been working with SnapLogic for three-plus years.

Recently, I haven't found any performance issues. Previously, a year or a year and a half back, sometimes it was lagging, meaning it was giving low performance. But recently, in a year, I haven't found many performance issues in SnapLogic.

SnapLogic is scalable.

They have a community channel for support if needed. Some SMEs are allotted for the organization, so in case of any issue, we have their email IDs to contact them for support, including SMEs and community.

There was MOVEit , which was the old product. We migrated from MOVEit  to SnapLogic.

In MOVEit there were some security issues, and that product was taking a long time to respond, and the performance was very laggy. We decided to move to SnapLogic due to these security issues.

It was not straightforward. There were medium to complex kinds of integrations. Sometimes it is direct integration, and sometimes it has logics to make transformations. In some cases, we have scripts we need to run in SnapLogic to perform operations.

Regarding the transformation in SnapLogic, we can make complex query transformations, multiple logic, if-else statements, or any ternary operators; any transformation needed from source database or source system to target system. SnapLogic is really helpful to make that transformation with the help of connectors.

Previously, we were using other tools and observed their timing. When we migrated that logic to SnapLogic, we found a major difference compared to the old legacy tool. It is saving cost and time. SnapLogic is really helpful and processes in very little time, so it doesn't take much time compared to any legacy tool.

I do not know the exact pricing.

I would consider SnapLogic, and I would suggest any other organization use SnapLogic because it's not just an ETL tool; it is also moving into data orchestration and AI. It is a very scalable product and highly recommended. I rate SnapLogic 8 out of 10.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are a few things I would like to highlight about the issue.

1. Sometimes I face a cache issue while validating the pipelines. The updated changes are not reflected in the validation output. I used to refresh the site and force-validate the pipeline.

2. There is one missing functionality that I miss a lot. I cannot select and copy a list of snaps to put them in a new pipeline. I have to copy every snap one by one every time. I have been using SnapLogic since
2019. I have worked in different organizations. It was there in the older versions. But it is not available now.

3. I face some server issues with heap exhaustion sometimes. Not sure if there is something wrong with the configuration at the org level.
