      Pros:
      The possibilty to connect to any source that can be adressed via ado.net or odata service. Great together with using self coded transformations inside the Cloud Connectors dynamic columns.
      Cons:
      The UI is very Windows2000ish. Its using the MMC UI, that is ok, you can configure your connection, but its not state of the art design any more.

      Hello Jörn K., we are happy that Layer2 Cloud Connector is hepful for your use cases. We note your comment on the design for improvement suggestions. Kind regards from your Layer 2 team

      Pros:
      The Layer2 Cloud Connector ensured that the integration between our ERP and SharePoint was smooth. The support team at Layer2 deserves a special mention. Whenever we had questions or faced minor hiccups, their team was right there, ensuring we had the answers and solutions we needed.
      Cons:
      The current UI gets the job done, but there's potential for a more modern, intuitive, and visually appealing interface. A more refined UI could make the process even smoother.

      Vendor Response

      Hi Pilvilampi H., many thanks for your review. Great that our tool and our support are helpful for you. Offering good support is very important to us. :) We are happy to continue working on improving our tool and for this reason your comment about the UI is also very relevant for us.

      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

      Pros:
      Layer 2 makes it very easy to keep data in sync between multiple sources. Our primary use for this product is syncing data between SharePoint and SQL and it does this flawlessly. The product is very reasonably priced and support is quick to respond if you need help. We have used this for about 4 years now and it is one of the few product we have that you can set and forget.
      Cons:
      I think the only improvements would be an improved interface that offers help right in the window you need. I don't end up in this application very often though so this is a pretty small con.

      Vendor Response

      Dear Chris S., great that Layer2 Cloud Connector simplifies your everyday work. We'll keep your comment about the interface in mind, because we want to improve the tool constantly. Thank you very much for your review. Greetings from your Layer 2 team

      Cons:
      In case of errors, it's sometimes difficult to figure out what exactly goes wrong. Also, one connection became kind of corrupt: we couldn't remove the corrupt field and still haven't figured out why the field was giving trouble.
