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.

Data governance has improved and complex integrations are handled with flexible customization
Regarding Talend Data Fabric, the ease of use and the customization options that are available are particularly valuable. There are a lot of built-in components and features that we can modify in any way we want to transform the data and make it analytics ready. Talend Data Catalog is another product that, when combined with Talend Data Fabric, can be used for the data governance. The stewardship, ownership, and curation happen mainly from the Data Catalog side. Within Talend Data Fabric, the role-based access control is used for user segregations such as security, infrastructure-related or integration-related activities. It bifurcates the roles and responsibilities. From the data standpoint, the RBAC functions with the help of Data Catalog.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has solved many problems for our customers and has improved their operations."
"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."
"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."
"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature."
"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."
"The solution is great due to the fact that it is really flexible."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"SnapLogic has positively impacted my organization because the professional services team has been running the pipelines and migrations very easily without any technical knowledge or dependency on technicalities."
"There are a lot of built-in components and features that we can modify in any way we want to transform the data and make it analytics ready."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
"Talend has very good support for big data."
"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."
"From my experience around Business Intelligence for data and analytics for around twenty-something years, I can say that what I appreciate about Talend Data Fabric is that we can connect sources to everything and be able to customize everything."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"Everything in Talend Data Fabric is GUI-based, making it very user-friendly and easy to learn quickly."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
 

Cons

"I think SnapLogic could be improved if the Snaplex has a way to change for people that want to write code, or to convert code to the Snaplex."
"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."
"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."
"They can enhance the error handling and debugging part. Troubleshooting complex pipeline failures can be time-consuming."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"The changes in the UI and the way things keep moving around mean that a level of stability would help achieve a higher adoption ratio."
"One of the areas for improvement in SnapLogic is that the connectors for some of the applications should be more available in terms of testing in the dev environment. Another area for improvement is that the logging should be standardized, for example, the integration with an ELK stack should be required out-of-the-box, so you can ship the log and have it in the ELK stack. There should be integration with ELK stack for the log shipping."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"The support is not very good. The team is not well-trained, and resolving a ticket can require several discussions."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools because every tool waiting for approval in terms of leveraging machine learning takes a long time."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
"The downside, however, is indeed the pricing, which has been the biggest challenge; since it went to Click, there is no longer a free license version such as Talend Open Studio, so either you pay or you do not have anything."
"Support is something that drives me crazy these days."
"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
"I used the free trial."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"
"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."
