Good at handling replication, provides cross-database replication but SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies
SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies. The product supports Oracle, but I am not aware of what other technologies it supports. If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"We use this solution for all kinds of communications like RFC, BAPI, IDoc, connecting with the orders, accounts, finance, data stuff, banking, everything."
"Currently, there is a Hadoop-based infrastructure with several engineers to maintain the data, and now, using SAP Replication Server, it has become automatic and requires fewer people to put data in the data warehouse."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"This product has a catalog with the location of all the objects which were replicated, and it's very simple to maintain."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted our organization by reducing my need for an external developer to build integrations; we can now handle that within the team."
"SnapLogic positively impacts my organization, mainly in three areas: speed, system reliability, and maintainability."
"It is a scalable solution."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization because we have been able to cut down manual import into the CRM by over 50%, which means that the data quality is improving over time."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to remove a big risk and cost in removing a legacy integration platform, and we have built the foundations to gain significant efficiencies in our integrations."
"Using SnapLogic saves a lot of time when we develop pipelines, and importing data from Excel systems, especially when dealing with thousands of records, takes minimal time, which improves customer satisfaction as professional services teams successfully migrate legacy products to the latest ones."
"Due to this automation, I see better results compared to the manual ones because the logic I have added to the automation is more specific and more static."
"Overall product rating is nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"There is a need to improve performance in high transactional processes."
"It's complex. It's necessary to understand a little about infrastructure, like network LAN and VLAN environment."
"Setup was a little complex."
"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"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."
"From our development perspective, we have requested SnapLogic to enhance their SnapGPT to be friendlier, improve documentation capabilities, and enable more Cursor-based type development."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
"While new features are always welcome, I do not have anything else at the top of my mind currently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The pricing is okay."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"I used the free trial."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
