My major use case for SnapLogic is for ETL. It's for data migration purposes. For example, I've used it to move data from SAP systems, across SAP systems, or across Salesforce systems. I've also used SnapLogic to integrate data from Workday or from some downstream enterprise specific applications to Workday.

An efficient tool for building data pipelines
the snaps in snap logic provides detailed information as compared to the other Ipaas tools.
Plug-and-play, works for both small and complex use cases, and has a responsive technical support
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Snaplogic has improved the data integration part of data engineering multifolds and now we have achieved a good rhythm in data integration consumption and security of the same.
What is most valuable?
What I found most valuable in SnapLogic is the ETL feature, particularly the Transform Snap Pack, for example, any kind of reading or writing on Transform Snaps. Other than that, all the third-party connectivity tools such as the SAP Snap Pack, Salesforce Snap Pack, Workday Snap Pack, even the ServiceNow Snap Pack, I find all those are pretty useful in SnapLogic.
What needs improvement?
One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option.
What I'd like to see in the next release of SnapLogic is better debugging of errors. Another feature I'd like to see in the solution is a more in-depth data preview because currently, it just shows you what happened to the data, rather than giving you a preview of how the data gets transformed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using SnapLogic for four to five years, and I've used it within the last twelve months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
SnapLogic is a pretty stable solution. Stability-wise, access, or any minimum downtime, the solution is pretty good. No complaints on stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
SnapLogic is a scalable solution, and all the new changes they are bringing in are making SnapLogic a plug-and-play solution. It's good for very small use cases, or even for complex or big data management use cases. The solution is pretty scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I've used the technical support for SnapLogic, and on a scale of one to five, with one being bad and five being excellent, I'd rate the support four out of five. I'm happy with the response time. The technical support team solved my issues.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
My company decided to use SnapLogic because of its scalability, minimal setup, and cost effectiveness.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for SnapLogic was pretty easy. There were self-explanatory documents available, so setting the solution up was pretty easy. The deployment took less than half a day.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm not aware of the licensing cost for SnapLogic. My boss takes care of it.
What other advice do I have?
I'm using the latest version of SnapLogic, but I don't remember the version number.
In my organization, across the board, I'm not sure how many people use SnapLogic, but at my location, there are thirty to forty users of the solution. In terms of roles, all users are developers.
My advice to first time users of SnapLogic or to anyone looking into implementing it is that if there is a requirement to move data across systems or to integrate data across different systems, I'd definitely recommend SnapLogic, because it's a tool that's pretty easy to use. Much of it is only drag and drop and it is a low code tool. I'll very much recommend SnapLogic to others.
My rating for SnapLogic is eight out of ten. There are still issues for a user like me in terms of debugging in SnapLogic. It gives very limited options for debugging, and that's a major area to work on, so I didn't give it a perfect score.
My company is a customer of SnapLogic.

SnapLogic for beginners
It is very friendly for beginners and intuitive, is easy pipeline with simple drag and drop snaps to do the transforming, If you are not familiar with the snapp Logic there is a lot of official documentation on how to start.
Right now, I am integrating snapLogic into an internal system. We used to integrate two microservices, but now we decided to move the data transfer to the snapLogic pipeline; this allows us to keep the data updated in real-time since our plants are working 24/7. The business is pleased with the result, is what we were expecting.
My experience with Snaplogic
also there is an improvement area on the UI side.
The benefit which we had from snaplogic is we were able to perform all kind of automation work including ML using this tool which really made the developer life easy not just this the functionality which is provided by snaplogic is way to broad which helped us to create a robust product and less time.
Snaplogic has been so user friendly to involve in ETL development
Very good data integration tool and terrific REST API creators!
2. Simply creating REST API! We can transform any pipeline into the REST API which is terrific!
3. No mind blowing with OAuth! We can connect to many platforms without exhausted effort to deal with OAuth.
4. Parallel processing! We love this so much!
2. Script snap using javascript could not use ES6 syntax. If Snaplogic allows ES6, it could be touching with many developers who become familiar with javascript right now.
3. Hard to deal with some REST API with pagination! Currently, Snaplogic is very good with any simply API, but when we have to call API again and again with some pagination value, we have to create the new pipeline which only call that API before using it via Pipeline Execution snap. We think that approach could make the whole logic looks so complex and increase difficulty for developers to validate it.
2. Collecting page view data from the analytics tool and saving to BigQuery
3. Creating the REST API which processing some data from BigQuery's SQL result
1) coding every time to get some data for your dashboards or reports
2) integrating many data sources and waste your time
, Snaplogic is your answer!
