Overall Satisfaction with SnapLogic

We use SnapLogic in the engineering department. My team, the data engineering team, is the primary user of SnapLogic. SnapLogic allows us to load in data from all of our external sources into a single source, our datamart, which we then use for business analysis.
  • SnapLogic is great at connecting quickly to an external source.
  • SnapLogic is great at building complex logic into ETL pipelines
  • SnapLogic is great at connecting to many different external sources and bringing the data together into a single source
  • SnapLogic has many UI weaknesses that make working in it daily pretty frustrating
  • SnapLogic has trouble connecting to certain external sources that it has specific snaps for which is frustrating
  • SnapLogic has a hard time abstracting out complex pipelines in order to reuse them without having to copy and paste
  • Pre built snap packs that allow us to seamlessly connect to third party software and databases
  • Flexible pipeline environment which allows us to do whatever we want with our data and even build out complex business processes
  • SnapLogic has provided us with a fast and reliable way to load in data from many external sources into a single data warehouse. We leverage this data across the company to make key business decisions
SnapLogic was a lot cheaper and does not have as steep of a learning curve

Would you buy SnapLogic again?

Yes

SnapLogic is well suited for business analysts or engineers who are looking for a fast and easy way to load in data from external sources. It is not great for real-time updates to large datasets or for large rebuilds of data. It is not great for abstracting out a process that you want to reuse in many different scenarios.

The platform flexibility was the single most important factor. We can accomplish many different things with SnapLogic
I would do it the same.

SnapLogic Implementation

The groundplex in our VPC is very nice for security reasons and the SnapLogic team was extremely helpful during our implementation
Change management was minimal
  • We just needed to deploy a groundplex in our own VPC which was a bit tricky

SnapLogic product support is great and the community is good. The documentation could be a bit better, especially free training videos on how to use the product.
