SnapLogic vs. Stoplight

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.

API mocking, testing, and sharing are all built in functions for StopLight that work quite well. They even have functionality for generating OAI and RAML code as well, which is a huge plus. AS for as areas where StopLight is not appropriate, if you're doing anything other than API testing, StopLight may not be appropriate for use.

• 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.

Incentivized

• OpenAPI support
• Markdown supports
• Git integration

• 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.

Incentivized

• Simplicity of set up. Although it's not difficult, there are tools out there that are easier to set up for testing endpoints.
• Again, it's perfectly functional, but some competitors I think have a more user friendly UI to them.

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!

It is very powerful but has a steep learning curve

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.

The groundplex in our VPC is very nice for security reasons and the SnapLogic team was extremely helpful during our implementation

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.

I'd like to also throw Runscope and Fiddler into the mix. Between StopLight and all these competitors, we've chosen StopLight primarily for the support, ease of use, and reliability. Most tools out there today are top-notch, so it really comes down to personal preference and different use-cases. Having used other API testing frameworks, StopLight definitely stacks up against the competition.

Incentivized

• 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

Incentivized

• Increased efficiency
• Improved comminication between backeend and frontend
