User Testimonials
	Layer2 Cloud Connector	NetWeaver Process Integration
Likelihood to Recommend	Layer 2 GmbH 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. Umair Mehboob Senior Devops Engineer Read full review	SAP I would recommend using NetWeaver Process Integration with an SAP application only. SAP ISU/ECC can integrate with the PO very well to interact with non-SAP systems. It's best suited for extracting data from SAP systems into flat files, encrypt it, and sFTP to any 3rd party vendor.

Pros	Layer 2 GmbH Layer2 provides best connectivity with SharePoint It syncs local network shared files to the SharePoint Provides details file history Umair Mehboob Senior Devops Engineer Read full review	SAP Combined advantages of advanced business application programming (ABAP) and Java SAP with [other] SAP products and SAP with other solutions Real-time customer service Cascade data model Incentivized Onur Demir Software Developer Read full review
Cons	Layer 2 GmbH Per User cost is expensive A lot of pre-requisites UI needs to be more user-friendly Umair Mehboob Senior Devops Engineer Read full review	SAP Complicated UI. Could be more simple. Need more clear instructions on development environment. Hard to debug errors. Have many dependencies like Basis support. Incentivized Bora Aymete Systems Analyst Read full review
Support Rating	Layer 2 GmbH No answers on this topic	SAP It works great for integrating SAP applications. Without the box connectors and integration flows, the speed of development is fast. However, It has challenges in connecting other non-sap applications. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Layer 2 GmbH 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.

Return on Investment	Layer 2 GmbH Layer2 resolves the time management issue Resolved data syncing issues across different external vendors LOE optimisation with using Layer2 connector.
