We performed a comparison between SnapLogic and SSIS 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."The solution could improve its API management."
"The connection with SOAP is the best feature."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"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 solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use. You can achieve more with less time. That's what's beneficial for me. With many competitors, you might need to spend more time coming up with a solution because you have to focus on taking care of the product."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"Data Flows are the main component we use. These can range from a simple source to sink ETL, to many source to many sink dataflows."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."
"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."
"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."
"SSIS is easy to use."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."
"One of the areas for improvement in SnapLogic is that the connectors for some of the applications should be more available in terms of testing in the dev environment. Another area for improvement is that the logging should be standardized, for example, the integration with an ELK stack should be required out-of-the-box, so you can ship the log and have it in the ELK stack. There should be integration with ELK stack for the log shipping."
"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"I come from a coding background and this tool is graphically based. Sometimes I think it's cumbersome to do mapping graphically. If there was a way to provide a simple script, it would be helpful and make it easier to use."
"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster."

Snaplogic
I've found Matillion to be very intuitive and easy to use...
I wish I could answer that question, but my expertise is limited to SSIS only.
As far as I know 'talend' could be a better choice compare to the other tools.
you can address your question to our SAP department solutions@jet-bi.com
Informatica is the way forward
it depends on the infrastructure you are using and what's the total cost of ownership being authorized for the implementation. You can see the "Data Integration" partners within AWS-Redshift in the below link-

Informatica undoubtedly is one of the best in the list. It's a great ETL tool but surely expensive in License.
Microsoft's SSIS is a light weight tool but not as robust as Informatica. Certain other software's like Talend and Matillion are also good. Talend has an open source option where developers can build their own APIs and then productionize those APIs and that's cost effective as well.
Traditionally SQL is a plus, automation is only by a ETL is smarter.
Any ETL tool that moves data to it's own server for processing will add overhead and will not use Redshift's power ( more specifically parallelism). It is recommended to use standard SQL for data processing.
