Hevo Data vs. Layer2 Cloud Connector

It is of great help for unstructured data sources. The way Hevo Data flattens the high nested data is amazing. Schema management is also good by Hevo Data. The way it's tell about the data type and then we can identify any error in the model. Additionally, It is very easy to setup for any new user and once model is created then we do not have to worry about the script maintenance and updating the script daily.

We had a scenario where our clients have thousands of external party vendors/committees who regularly sync SharePoint data. Managing thousands of external parties can never be possible without using a Layer2 cloud connector. We managed the local network sharing and SharePoint integration by using the Layer2 connector. Layer2 is convenient with a large amount of data as the per-user license is high.

• Hevo is the best tool when you want to manage a large number of pipelines. With Hevo you can automate the pipelines very easily.
• Hevo's great features are automatic detection and notification of failed data pipelines.
• Auto mapping feature is also good. It's makes really easy to move the data.
• Integration is easy with so many databases like SQL, Google Sheet, etc.

• Per User cost is expensive
• A lot of pre-requisites
• UI needs to be more user-friendly

Much lower cost and faster syncs but not as good support. More flexible in terms of pricing, though. Fivetran requires annual contracts and is very inflexible.

We had also used Microsoft One Drive as a syncing tool but it requires Office365 for managing and syncing data across thousands of vendors which was not practically possible to manage users on Office 365. Layer2 resolved this issue by having 3 user licenses and they are enough to periodically sync all external parties' data with our SharePoint online.

• Comprehensive results from the data processing is a perfect approach from the tool.
• Authentic data models brings a high automation process and more productivity.
• Expansive data sourcing brings clarity and genuine results after inferential analytics.
