A tool useful for data integration and data migration from databases
What is our primary use case?
SnapLogic and Pentaho are tools I use collaboratively for data integration. I have good experience with Pentaho and SnapLogic for data migration from one database to another database.
The main use cases of the tool are for data integration and migration from databases.
In most of the use cases, my company uses SnapLogic for the migration of flat files to S3 and other databases. If my company gets flat files, like CSV, PostgreSQL, and XML files, from our clients, what we do is based on some of the business logic and the implementation they send to us. For my company to apply some business logic and implement it on top of the flat files, we will transfer the file using transform logic, after which we will migrate the data into the database, like Oracle or PostgreSQL.
What is most valuable?
There are features like CSV Parser, XML Parser, File Writer Snap, and File Reader that we use in our company with the separate functionalities provided by SnapLogic, which helps us to apply transform logic and migrate data.
What needs improvement?
My company has a licensed version of SnapLogic, so we have to pay for the product when we use it in our organization. Pentaho and Talend are ETL tools that allow my company to migrate the data within a fraction of a second using open-source products, not the paid version. In SnapLogic, my company uses the product's paid version, so we have to pay for license charges.
When compared with other tools, SnapLogic needs to be given a trial version or made available as an open-source product for simple migrations, which can be helpful for many users. In Talend and Pentaho, users can migrate data by just installing the software. I just installed the UI. SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use. Just giving the email address and creating a password is enough to configure SnapLogic. Tools like Talend and Pentaho need their users to indulge in manual installation since both tools fall under the on-premises software category. That is what is actually called on-premises software. It would be great if SnapLogic office separated software to manage small migrations.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have two years of experience in ETL tools, including SnapLogic. My company has a direct partnership with SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform. My company has maintained an individual partnership with SnapLogic, specifically for Cloudplex, so we can connect with cloud services like AWS and Azure. My company has a separate partnership for SnapLogic Cloudplex so that we can connect with Snowflake and cloud services like AWS or Azure.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. There are no glitches in the product. It is an easy tool to use. Users don't need to have separate knowledge to learn about the product.
With SnapLogic, users can find any errors and glitches. Once users find out the issues in the product, then they can solve the problems within the tool, which is a straightforward process.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
Around seven to eight employees in our company use the solution.
How was the initial setup?
For the installation part, if you have separate software within SnapLogic and you are able to download the tool from the cloud, it will be best.
One person can manage the product's deployment phase.
The solution can be deployed in five to ten minutes.
What about the implementation team?
The product's deployment phase was taken care of by the in-house team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market.
What other advice do I have?
My company can suggest Talend or Pentaho for the banking domain since both are open-source tools. But in SnapLogic, there is a security process, and we also have a different authentication process. For banking domain and health insurance, my company suggests SnapLogic. My company usually makes suggestions to others based on the requirements.
I recommend the product to security teams.
I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.
Easy to integrate anything web application or database or api
What do you like best about the product?
Simple User interface to create snaplogic integration, easy to monitor each step.
What do you dislike about the product?
Logs are not not visible in dashboard for each step except number of input and output document.
Sometimes jobs keep on running and consumes Java memory even though it is terminated
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to convert XML to edi standard. Published snaplogic pipeline as webservice.
Useful for moving data between different environments and easy to setup
What is our primary use case?
It's useful to move data from one environment to another one, for example, from one database to another one. I can also change data types, delete some dates, update data, and clean data, for example. So it's really useful for us.
What is most valuable?
It's easy to use, capable, and offers good performance. It's a good decision to use this product in any company.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used SnapLogic for two to three months. I used the latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are around two to three people in my IT team using this solution.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support are good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used Microsoft's tool. SnapLogic is more user-friendly than Microsoft. It's easier to understand what you can do in the app.
What about the implementation team?
It is on a web interface, so I didn't need to download anything. I used the web interface. I saw this web interface, and it only linked to my environment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I used the free trial. You need to pay for a license to use SnapLogic. The pricing is based on the number of integrations you need and the volume of data you're processing.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would recommend SnapLogic to others, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, SnapLogic is not suitable for big data processing. Second, the pricing can be expensive, but it's generally in line with other iPaaS platforms.
