Notice the machine-learning powered integration assistant, Iris, to the right suggests which Snaps (our term for connectors) to use from our catalogue of nearly 450+ pre-built connectors.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Snaplogic is the core product that we use to move data from various sources, whether on-premise or in the cloud, to our data lake in Snowflake. Its use is expanding company-wide from engineering to finance and sales operations. This can be attributed to Snaplogic's graphical user interface which uses a jigsaw puzzle metaphor and makes the product accessible to business users as well as engineers. Snaplogic provides the monitoring and logging tools that allow us to track all data movement in one central location. A major selling point that distinguishes Snaplogic from many competitors is the availability of an on-premise node called a Groundplex as well as a cloud-based node called a Cloudplex. This hybrid configuration precludes the need to punch holes in the firewall and keeps sensitive data inside.

Pros

Has an on-premise solution named Groundplex to access sensitive internal data as well as a cloud solution named Cloudplex for external data? And you can use both Groundplex and Cloudplex for a completely secure solution for sensitive data.
The GUI based Designer uses an intuitive jigsaw puzzle metaphor.
Has a wide selection of connectors to a variety data sources ranging from an Oracle database to a web destinations using a REST API.

Cons

Has own version system, but no support for de facto git repositories.
Has XML support, but does not support XML mixed content.
Has support for Data Science with several ML snap packs, but computation power is inherently limited on Snaplogic nodes. To handle large data sets, computing needs to be elastic and thus ML is more suited for other systems.

Most Important Features

Large number of data source connectors.
Ease of use.
On premise node option.

Return on Investment

Able to complete the initial project in a matter of months by converting a legacy Oracle PLSQL project.
Good value compared to similar tools.
Product has been bug free so far.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Snaplogic was brought in during our migration from Oracle Ebiz on Prem to Oracle HCM cloud. During that same time, we also implemented Okta with custom IDM hooks to both Oracle HCM and Ellucian Banner. We had a spaghetti integration structure, integrations all over the place and not well monitored. We have since implemented Snaplogic and are now seeing significant ROI on our integrations as well as begun to develop in-house APIs for use across the campus. We are looking to expand the platform into Data Warehousing in the coming year or two.

Pros

Pricing.
Support and Customer Follow-up.
Almost limitless integration ability.

Cons

UI, little hard to learn.
Training.
User conference.

Most Important Features

Pricing.
Integration offerings.
Flexibility in licensing.
Support.

Return on Investment

Massive ROI on hybrid intergrations.
Standard integration platform and code base across all of IT.
Ability to turn around integrations in hours/days vs weeks.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We built data integration pipelines from S3 to Redshift, DynamoDB to Redshift, MSSQL AWS RDS to Redshift, as well as SQS queue systems. Generally, these were Change Data Capture solutions. In other work, we also moved data from Redshift to external services like sales, HR, and operational systems: Salesforce, SAP, Acqeon, etc. SnapLogic has helped our organization centralize and consolidate our data in a unified way under a single framework.

Pros

Extract transform load
AWS service integration
ETL development environment

Cons

Git integration outside of Github (Bitbucket, and other git service providers)
I would like to see an improved way to perform unit testing within the SnapLogic framework, as opposed to the manual approach
I would prefer that the underlying source of SnapLogic pipelines be more human-readable, although it is a GUI approach to authoring pipelines

Most Important Features

Ease of onboarding
Snaps for various services make it rather easy to integrate between common services on the market
ETL execution visualisation

Return on Investment

Has allowed us to centralise our data
Ease of development of new pipelines between potentially novel systems

Other Software Used

AWS Glue, Jenkins, Apache Airflow

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SnapLogic is used as an Integration platform in our Organization. For any kind of Data Integration here at our organization, we use SnapLogic. we have taken two Org as part of the license here for all development activity along with Feed master as well for real-time Integration. Snaplogic is the best iPaas you can say for normal and complex Integration as well for real-time / Batch / Adhoc / Scheduling / Event-based Jobs. Snaplogic uses various scripts as well which helps us to achieve anything and transform as part of the Business requirement. In short, I would say this is the best Integration platform for Data Integration.

Pros

Realtime Integration
Cron jobs Execution
