How to Migrate from SnapLogic to Ceven
SnapLogic is an enterprise integration platform that connects data, applications, and APIs with AI-assisted pipelines. Ceven is an AI workflow automation platform that connects to 1,000+ tools, runs end-to-end workflows on a schedule with AI steps and human-approval gates, and can build and host no-code pages/apps.
This guide will walk you through the process of migrating your automation workflows from SnapLogic to Ceven. We'll cover inventorying your workflows, connecting the same apps in Ceven, rebuilding your workflows, validating the new setup, and cutting over to Ceven.
Migrate from SnapLogic to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by documenting all your SnapLogic workflows. Focus on the outcomes they achieve rather than the specific steps. This will help you understand what needs to be rebuilt in Ceven.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Re-authorize the same applications and services in Ceven that you used in SnapLogic. Ceven supports a wide range of integrations, making it easy to connect your existing tools.
Rebuild Your Workflows
Describe the outcomes you achieved with SnapLogic and rebuild your workflows in Ceven. Use Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates to enhance flexibility and reliability where SnapLogic was brittle.
Validate in Parallel
Run both SnapLogic and Ceven in parallel, using real data to ensure the Ceven workflows produce the same outcomes. This step is crucial for a smooth transition.
Add Human-Approval Gates
Implement human-approval gates on writes to systems of record. This adds an extra layer of control and ensures data integrity during the migration process.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you've validated the Ceven workflows, schedule a cutover. Ensure all stakeholders are informed and ready for the transition to minimize disruption.
Why teams switch from SnapLogic to Ceven
Teams often switch from SnapLogic to Ceven for several reasons. Ceven offers a more intuitive and flexible platform for building and managing workflows. With Ceven, you can easily add AI steps and human-approval gates, which can enhance the reliability and control of your automations. Additionally, Ceven's ability to build and host no-code pages/apps provides a comprehensive solution for teams looking to streamline their workflows and improve productivity.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from SnapLogic to Ceven, you'll need to rebuild your workflows from scratch. This means that the specific pipelines and integrations you've set up in SnapLogic will not automatically transfer to Ceven. However, the outcomes and goals of your workflows can be easily replicated in Ceven. You'll also need to re-authorize all the applications and services you used in SnapLogic. On the positive side, Ceven's extensive library of integrations and its powerful AI and approval gate features can help you create more robust and flexible workflows.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall when migrating from SnapLogic to Ceven is attempting to recreate every single workflow one-for-one. Instead, focus on the outcomes and rebuild your workflows in a way that leverages Ceven's unique features. Another pitfall is not validating the new workflows in parallel with the old ones. Running both systems simultaneously ensures that you catch any issues before the final cutover. Additionally, failing to add human-approval gates on critical steps can lead to data integrity issues. Always include these gates to maintain control over your automations.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my SnapLogic workflows?
No, Ceven does not support automatic import of SnapLogic workflows. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, which often results in fewer, more capable workflows.
How long does the migration process typically take?
The migration process can vary depending on the complexity of your workflows and the number of integrations. Generally, it takes a few weeks to several months to complete the migration.
Will I need to retrain my team on Ceven?
Yes, your team will need to familiarize themselves with Ceven's interface and features. However, Ceven's intuitive design and extensive documentation make the learning curve relatively smooth.
