You want to support specific file formats like HL7 or protocols like MQTT.
You want to use iPaaS for bulk or batch-based data transfers.
You want to use the in-memory repository available inside an iPaaS platform.

🤔 Strongly consider Workato over SnapLogic if

You are looking to build with a publish-subscribe (i.e., PubSub) or event-driven pattern.
You want to have file-based interactions.
You want better customer support that responds in a reasonable time frame.

📝 Other Notes

Neither platform supports the on-premises deployment of integrations.
