Working with 3rd party consultants, they wanted to custom develop ways to do this. We had previously used your BDLC with SharePoint on-prem, so I looked and that's when I found Cloud Connector and it did exactly what we needed it to. > > **Cons**: For what we need, I honestly do not have a 'CON' to list. > > Was very easy. I downloaded the trial and within 15 minutes was syncing data between SharePoint online and local data sources. I found it to be very intuitive and easy to use. ----- ### "Fantastic Product - Easy to use and rock solid" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *20 August 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have some processes that sync 100K+ rows. Prior to this we had to utilize SSIS to do these syncs which was cumbersome to create and the performance was terrible. What used to take 1 hour to complete in SSIS takes less than 10 in Layer2. > > **Cons**: Parameterization of the data selections (at the destination) would greatly improve this product. Example, when sending data to a SharePoint list, I have to create (and maintain) a separate configuration for each folder that I want to send data to. If we could parametrize the select statement in the destination based on the source I could populate the folder in the source and have 20+ connections consolidated into one. Also, the ability to launch a job remotely (via a webhook or some other method) would be fantastic. If there was some way to trigger the jobs other than the schedule, this could be a game changer of a product. ----- ### "Review of Layer2" — 5.0/5 > **Eoin** | *9 January 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works in background, allows clients connect and review their data we host > > **Cons**: Original license non transferable when server upgraded > > OK but as a new server live we couldn't transfer the original license from the decommissioned server ----- ### "Layer2 Cloud Connector" — 4.0/5 > **Pilvilampi** | *16 August 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Layer 2" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *1 February 2022* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/419983/layer2-cloud-connector?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/419983/layer2-cloud-connector) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
