Background: The world of data is changing very rapidly - there's an explosion in data volume, variety, velocity, and location. According to Gartner, this is causing the world of application and data integrations to collide. The erstwhile clear demarcation between nightly batch (ETL) and real-time (EAI) integrations is fast disappearing. Customers need a platform that can straddle both these use cases in a single platform. Traditional integration products are unable to keep up with this new world. SnapLogic refers to this as the "Integrator's Dilemma"

I am not sure where you are getting the data to make such a statement but SnapLogic did win a bunch of awards this year: https://www.snaplogic.com/about-us/recognition

I would suggest first to understand your requirement and then search for the right cloud integration tool.

Why restrict yourself just to SnapLogic and Informatica Cloud. There are other companies in this space, as well.

Most of these companies offer free trials and have a responsive sales team.

You could learn more about SnapLogic on their website and their blog contains demo videos: http://www.snaplogic.com/blog/
