This is crucial for businesses looking to grow their integrations and increase their process automation.

What is an Alumio Task?

Integration Platform-ipaas-slider-right

Within the Alumio integration platform, a ‘Task' represents data exchange between any integrated business systems (either internal systems such as storage or external systems such as an ERP, PIM, or e-commerce system). It could involve attempting to exchange product details, product prices, customer details, or a hundred other business processes. The key metric is the initiation of Tasks, not their completion status. It does not matter if the Task has succeeded, failed, or was skipped. Every created Task counts towards the transaction metric. This approach ensures you have a transparent measure of your business's data activity, which is vital for strategic planning and operational efficiency. . Task capacities per Alumio pricing plan can range from 100k yearly Tasks with the Alumio Starter Edition, and it can grow beyond 1.25 million tasks per year with the Alumio Growth Edition.


What is an Alumio Data Engine?

Integration Platform-ipaas-slider-right

The Alumio integration platform provides Task-based pricing plans, which provide higher Task capacities with each plan.

Redefining data processing efficiency, Alumio 'Data Engines' operate behind the scenes, processing Tasks like handling data, managing incoming and outgoing requests, and executing background operations such as sending notifications. They allow integrated systems to manage an increased data load by handling multiple Tasks in parallel. This is crucial for businesses looking to grow their integrations and increase their process automation. By handling operations in the background, Data Engines ensure that the main functionalities of an application are not bogged down by resource-intensive Tasks.

Alumio provides a higher number of Data Engines with each pricing plan, with the Starter Edition providing just 1 Data Engine and the Alumio Enterprise Edition providing 6 Data Engines. Users can also purchase additional Alumio Data Engines as add-ons to further enhance the task processing capabilities of their integrations.

SnapLogic provides an iPaaS (integration Platform as a Service) that’s designed to help enterprise-level businesses build application integrations and data integrations. As a platform that’s designed to simplify integrations for business users and developers, SnapLogic is also experimenting with the idea of “generative integrations”, which involves using its AI tool SnapGPT to automatically build integrations and workflows based on instructions typed into a chatbox. In contrast, it is important to note that SnapLogic does have a very technical and complex, developer-friendly user interface design.

The Alumio iPaaS also enables complex application integration and data integration, but it provides a scalable solution to make this affordable with plans for businesses of all sizes. While Alumio is also designed to make integrations simple for developers and business users with essential no-code features (like monitoring and drag-and-drop workflow builder), it is primarily a low-code solution that provides advanced developer features to connect custom endpoints and build flexible customizations. It enables businesses to build unlimited integrations and workflows to automate processes with each plan, and users are only charged based on the tasks they initiate between integrated systems.

How do the Alumio iPaaS and SnapLogic compare in terms of pricing?

The Alumio iPaaS provides a task-based pricing model with varying capacities, offering full feature access and unlimited connections to all users. Higher capacity plans provide increased storage spaces, enlarged task capabilities, dedicated support functionalities, and data retention options. Extensive data transformation and enrichment features, reusable connections, and configurable alerting and logging are available to all Alumio users without limitations.

While SnapLogic hasn’t officially listed its pricing plans, the official website states that their prices are based on the size and configuration of the package, including Snaps (prebuilt connectors) that are added. While the platform provides certain Snaps for free, it also provides "premium Snaps" that are available as Tier One Snaps for +$45K USD and Tier Two Snaps for +$15K USD. Base packages include processing for up to 10,000 API calls, with additional processing calls available for $10,000 USD per year.
