    We have to calculate most all Lab / Pilot / Proposals sizing and results. The automated calculations in [Excel4apps] is awesome, as once you are familiar with them, it is easy to quickly implement them when needed.

    Snaplogic is unique from other IPASS tools if you're very sensitive about data security as they have an on-premise option where your data never needs to leave your data center. And data pipelines can be quickly created if Snaplogic has the requisite connector to your data sources. On the downside, if you're transforming a large amount of data for example in training machine learning models, a tool with elastic compute capability is more appropriate.

    Pros
    Excel4apps
    • Easy to install and maintain. After the initial installation, there is little involvement by the technical administrators.
    • Cloning production to a test environment does not require any additional setups unlike Oracle EBS which does.
    • Loading data and reporting on this data is handled via EXCEL spreadsheets which is the "language" of our financial users.

    • Easy access to any type of source system. Data could be in any format.
    • Very beautiful visual representation of transforms that makes it super easy to use it by any non developer.
    • It can be run in cloud or on-premise. helping you choose your comfort of security.
    • Has pretty good customer support and have recently started their community forum as well.

    Cons
    Excel4apps
    • It is possible but difficult to retrieve data or set criteria from different module into a single report or retrieve. If it is more user friendly instead of having to create a complex formula to retrieve the data, this function will be utilized more often.
    • It will be nice to have visual (graphs, etc.) report template available
    • It is helpful if we can retrieve data for a range of date, instead of just YTD, PTD etc. and multi-year data all at once for comparison too.

    • They need to have a way to connect to GitHub to allow the users to maintain their version control in GitHub. This is a missing functionality.
    • As pipelines become complex, it's difficult to have all the snaps stitched together - just like to see it done differently.
    • They do not have a way to start/stop a preview. This is hard to use, especially if you have to stop an accidental preview invocation.

    This has been hands down the BEST software company I have ever used and dealt with. I am a 25 year IT veteran at this college. They go above and beyond in soliciting our feedback/input and proactively follow up about bugs, issues, etc. I have given multiple potential clients my thoughts and after seeing the SL demo they all sign up. I appreciate their support model, it's REFRESHING!

    I am not a power user of Excel. So I find Exel4apps a friendlier version of the things that I could do on Excel and making it easier with a magic wand.

    They can be prompt but they have not been as useful as I've wanted. We had a bug that affected many of our customers through an API connection between SnapLogic and our platform. Eventually they were able to figure it out, but it took a long time of negotiating between our engineering team and theirs. Additionally, we installed the SnapLogic groundplex for our customers and we've run into a bunch of problems of connectivity. If SnapLogic offered to be on those calls with our clients to troubleshoot how to fix these problems, I would give them a better grade here.

    Excel4apps is more user friendly and can retrieve data much easier and in a nicer format than Jaspersoft. Qlik Sense is useful and have more visual reporting and dashboard. However, it is usually used for higher level of analyses and review. Yardi is used for specific purpose, which is different than Excel4apps. Excel4apps can pull all the financial data from Oracle, including billing and collections.

    We opted for SnapLogic due its ease of use and the flexibility it offers, it was the platform that was strongest in both application integration and data integration and both were use cases we wanted to be able to cover.

    • We have cut development time down by at least 70%
    • The software was more on the expensive side at renewal which required some further approvals to be sought for the spend
    • More developers are able to build and use Snaplogic pipelines in their projects
