We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and SnapLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."
"Most of our customers are Microsoft shops and prefer Azure Data Factory because they have good licensing options and a trust factor with Microsoft."
"We haven't had any issues connecting it to other products."
"The data mapping and the ability to systematically derive data are nice features. It worked really well for the solution we had. It is visual, and it did the transformation as we wanted."
"The solution has a good interface and the integration with GitHub is very useful."
"It is easy to integrate."
"The solution is okay."
"It is easy to deploy workflows and schedule jobs."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"What I found most valuable in SnapLogic is the ETL feature, particularly the Transform Snap Pack, for example, any kind of reading or writing on Transform Snaps. Other than that, all the third-party connectivity tools such as the SAP Snap Pack, Salesforce Snap Pack, Workday Snap Pack, even the ServiceNow Snap Pack, I find all those are pretty useful in SnapLogic."
"By using snaps instead of functions in code, you can see the building blocks of the integration visually. This helps a lot."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."
"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."
"Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified."
"I rate Azure Data Factory six out of 10 for stability. ADF is stable now, but we had problems recently with indexing on an SQL database. It's slow when dealing with a huge volume of data. It depends on whether the database is configured as general purpose or hyperscale."
"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."
"There are limitations when processing more than one GD file."
"It would be better if it had machine learning capabilities."
"There aren't many third-party extensions or plugins available in the solution."
"Data Factory's monitorability could be better."
"The solution can be improved by decreasing the warmup time which currently can take up to five minutes."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"I am looking for more scheduling options. When it comes to scheduling, there are different tools in the market."
"The support is the most important improvement they could make."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
