references, thorough market research, and highly-vetted product ratings, Gartner, Forrester,
and G2 Crowd have distinguished the SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform (IIP) as
one of the very best integration solutions on the market. SnapLogic’s rapid ascent in the
rankings testifies to the massive impact its product innovations are having on its thousands
of customers.
This executive summary highlights the reasons why SnapLogic is considered an iPaaS leader
in three major industry reports.

its “completeness of vision.” Gartner describes the vendors
