Cleo Integration Cloud vs. Cloud Elements (discontinued)

CLEO Integration Cloud is well suited in any environment where you need to move and translate business data from one format to another or multiple other formats. It is very well suited to replace existing EDI systems that are cumbersome, are a lot of work to add new mappings (add customers for example), or where the support is lousy and you are constantly creating support tickets to try to resolve issues. It just works very well and is constantly improving including keeping up to changes made by various services such as Shopify.

Cloud Elements shines when you want to offer multiple options to the user on a type of system, such as supporting integration to CRM and wanting to offer Dynamics, Salesforce, and HubSpot on equal footing. If you only have a single integration with a single system, using Cloud Elements adds an unnecessary layer of abstraction.

• A great platform perfectly integrated with the rest of the company's software.
• Detailed design with simple and easy access from anywhere to our information.
• Multi-location and multi-device access.
• We save on hardware, software and maintenance, by minimizing the user's need for powerful equipment and the programs in charge of managing and configuring them, reducing the investment in their acquisition.
• Cleo integration is in charge of technical maintenance and updates.

Incentivized

• The API itself is very robust and easy to use, being a standard REST interface, standard HTTP response codes, well-packaged error messages, etc.
• Their uptime is great! I think I've seen one (short) 5-minute' blip' the entire time we've been connected for any type of primary function.
• Their support is top notch, they respond quickly, and the team that works with you is communicative and knowledgable.

Incentivized

• A fully functional help manual would be good. Some topics have no help at all, "envelopeassemblybycontext" for instance.
• A needed feature is to be able to sort files by either file type (FM, RS, BPS) or by filename. Some of our projects have almost a hundred files.
• Better, more descriptive error messages. Sometimes a ruleset or process fails and the error message is not helpful.

Incentivized

• The only thing I can think of that they could improve is the quality of the assets they produce in the go-to-market process. This is a huge value add service, but the quality of what was produced was lower than what we would have produced internally. We spent more time going back and forth on the assets than it would have taken us to build them from scratch.

Ease in understanding and setup.

Great data manager in the cloud, at a competitive price, backed by a great company and great professionals.

Incentivized

Before choosing a solution, we did a detailed analysis of cost, performance, scaling and support. Cleo checked all the right boxes and we have been very satisfied with our choice.

Incentivized

At the time we found Cloud Elements we found no other option that had a Unified API for cloud storage providers.

Incentivized

• We have easily improved our EDI tenfold (or more) as far as ease of adding new customers for example
• We have saved a ton of money by reducing chargebacks for missing ASNs for example
• We have improved customer scorecards where they measure our EDI performance such as one large brand name customer we sell wholesale to who originally scored us around 28% and after implementing CLEO we quickly went to a 96%+ score.

Incentivized

• Not my area of expertise, but it made my job as an implementer much easier, especially after finishing the first integration.
