Robust Product that meets our data sync needs

It's been great overall, we can get data we thought we previously could not as it was stored in a different database. Have had no reason to engage with the support team until the upgrade, and the support has been same day and great, much appreciated.

PROS

The ability to schedule syncs, to have multiple syncs. We use it to bring SQL data into SharePoint online which we loved as there was no other way to achieve what we needed. With Layer2, we can schedule syncs to take place overnight without interrupting business activity. We can then do an afternoon sync and switch data sources in our in-house apps so we have 24/7 data availability. Integration with SharePoint is great!

CONS

Found on occasion the job would fail due to throttling (429s). Have just upgraded from v8 to 10 and hopeful that some tweaks have been made. Ran one job already and no errors. This was annoying as it had to be communicated to relevant users within the business whilst the job re-ran taking around 2 hours to complete.

Reason for choosing Layer2 Cloud Connector

There was quite a bit of hype around Layer2 at the time I believe.

Vendor Response

Dear Andy W., thank you very much for the good review and we hope that everything is running smoothly again since the update. We are pleased that the support is so appreciated and that we were able to help. Best regards from your Layer 2 team

Review of Layer2

OK but as a new server live we couldn't transfer the original license from the decommissioned server

PROS

Works in background, allows clients connect and review their data we host

CONS

Original license non transferable when server upgraded

Vendor Response

Dear Eoin M, thank you very much for your review. We are happy when Layer2 Cloud Connector helps you and your clients. Regarding your comment about moving the license: when moving the license to a new server, a new license file is required. Because the file contains the server name, the file must be changed. We will continue to improve and optimize such topics. Best wishes from your Layer 2 team

Best support ever!

We needed a product that copied files from SharePoint online to a local drive, for processing the files to a server based software program. Layer2 Cloud Connector worked perfectly and was easy to set up for this purpose.When contacting support, the response was Quick and the answers given have always solved our issues.

PROS

The Cloud Connector works quick and is easy to set up. The support response is awesome!

CONS

For our purpose, we haven't found any issues. A licence had to be renewed after a software upgrade, but we assume this as a natural prosedyre in the life cycle prosess of software products.

Vendor Response

Dear Pelle K, you are right. From time to time the software needs to be updated because of changes and improvements. :) Thank you for your understanding. And many thanks for the compliment to our support. Your satisfaction is very important to us. Kind regards from your Layer 2 team
