Basically SnapLogic is a iPaas Tool (Integration Platforma as a Service), One of the growing online cloud based ETL and integration tool.
As per the Gartner report one of leader in "Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service" refer below link

When compare with Informatica SnapLogic cost is somewhat low and also SnapLogic recently introduced Auto scaling of EMR cluster especially for Spark mode pipelines.
Easy to use and have more connectors snaps for different categories
like flat files, ERP ,CRM, IOT , Alexa, Databases , Cloud includes Google cloud, Azure and AWS.Easily manageable of projects and users and groups etc.

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/
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"
