    If you would like your data in one place with easy access, this is the software for you. You can have data from multiple systems and bring it into one view so that you have a quick and easily visible dashboard for the data you wish to see.

    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.

    Cons
    Phocas
    • Phocas needs to make it easier to connect to different types of databases.
    • The data in Phocas needs to be updated faster in some cases.
    • It needs to provide functions to create better charts and graphs.

    Snaplogic
    • 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!

    Usability
    Phocas
    It is a very user-friendly product and is easy to understand. You can get your data from just a quick click and the dashboard loads. You can take the data and drill down easy to find what you are looking for.

    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.

    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.

    • 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
