How Perspectium Compares vs. SnowMirror

Throughput & Scalability

Perspectium's pub/sub model replicates large volumes of data to multiple targets simultaneously, without API bottlenecks typical of SnowMirror.

Security & Data Loss Prevention

By avoiding API, Perspectium also avoids API vulnerabilities. Store and forward tech prevents data loss in the event of issues with the source or target.

Usability & Support

Perspectium’s fully managed, configure-only solution is implemented natively in the ServiceNow UI for a short learning curve, with 24/7 support available for all.

Perspectium

Highly scalable, one-to-many replication in real-time and batches

We understand the ServiceNow platform, how its users interact with it, and the challenges they face---in particular, when extracting data from the platform.

Created by the founding developer of ServiceNow to address such problems, Perspectium allows users to replicate huge volumes of ServiceNow data - dynamically, in real-time and in batches - within third-party solutions and repositories.

Our highly scalable solution can replicate over 40 million records every day, and supports one-to-many replication without slowing down ServiceNow.

SnowMirror

Point-to-point, batch data replication

SnowMirror provides a basic solution for extracting ServiceNow data, but its reliance on API-based pulls can introduce performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and other limitations.

While it supports scheduled batch exports, it lacks true real-time dynamic replication, making it less effective for organizations needing up-to-the-minute data.

Additionally, SnowMirror is primarily designed for one-to-one replication, resulting in limited scalability.

Data volume: Transactions per day

Why we win: Our efficient data replication solution uses push technology to replicate data into a message bus. The message bus can then distribute data to the target system(s) without impacting ServiceNow's performance.

In contrast, SnowMirror’s point-to- point, API-based replication competes for the same system resources as users, causing performance degradation as usage scales.

40M+
