API2Cart vs. Jitterbit

API2Cart allowed us to save money, time, and development resources by allowing online retailers to interact and utilise store-based information from any of the above-mentioned platforms. When we used API2Cart we were able to get the relevant store information from any of the supported carts into our eCommerce system in a uniform way.

This is a great tool for bringing data out of your locked, internal systems and getting it into the cloud. It meshes well with Salesforce and is fairly easy to use, helping the transition from other older, more complex tools into a more modern environment. It has lots of competition in this space and some are better than others, but if your data is straight forward and you know it well, Jitterbit will get the job done. If you are not as close or comfortable with your data and need to do some wildly complex migrations, there might be better packages out there for you.

• API2Cart makes it simple to connect to a variety of e-commerce systems
• API2Cart eliminates the need to create a separate connection for each new platform
• We can now get data on orders, items, customers, and abandoned orders from several e-commerce platforms thanks to API2Cart

• UI is super easy to understand with a low learning curve so admins can figure it out and maintain it without breaking anything.
• It's FREE! There's a paid version too but I like that you can use most of the features for free and they're not pushy with buying.
• There's a great user community that you can google and ask any questions. Most problems I've encountered have been posted and answered already.

• There were some initial hiccups in understanding how our program would interact with data stored on multiple platforms
• Custom pluguins must be installed by your customers in order to interface with on-premise e-commerce systems
• Would be nice to get a notice when the subscriber limit has been exceeded

• Migrating operations from QA to Production work well for initial deployment, however, when migrating an update to an existing job to production, sometimes certain project items are duplicated. This is not the end of the world... the duplicates can be removed, but would be nice if it was not required.
• I have not found a way to trap under-the-covers SOAP errors (for example, when a query you are running against Salesforce takes too long). You get a warning error in the operation log that the job only pulled a "partial" file, but it does not fail.

I have been evaluating other tools as a continuous improvement practice. I would like something that would be easier to use for a non-technical user. I work for a small organization and have no back-up for Jitterbit if something happens to me. We don't have the technically savvy employees to understand it.

They have some of the best support of any software vendor that we use. They always get our issues resolved quickly

We were able to get the integrations we required thanks to the service. Our software's needs were discussed by the team. As soon as feasible, we intended to link our software to Magento, Shopify, eBay and Zen Cart, which we already had established a connection for. For us, API2Cart was a breeze to use. As a result, API2Cart's clients are satisfied, and we are as well.

Evaluated Dell Boomi and Celigo as alternatives prior to purchasing Jitterbit. We went with Jitterbit at that time because we could handle all changes ourselves without any assistance from Jitterbit, and we liked their size and nimbleness. Dell Boomi was too big for us, and Celigo at that time did not have a self-service model. Every change had to go through them (although that has since changed). We were not in a position to be able to wait for someone to make changes for us given the rate of change within the business.

• API2Cart's features are extremely beneficial to us and our clients.
• We utilized API2Cart to connect our e-commerce systems and place a number of orders on behalf of our business.
• That made it possible for us to experiment with various different product variants.

• The time it takes to connect systems has reduced by orders of magnitude. Previously, we would custom-develop connectors between various systems and they would all be managed by different vendors. With Jitterbit speed-to-deploy and the efficiency gained by managing all connections in one dashboard has been the greatest piece of the ROI.
