User Testimonials
	Layer2 Cloud Connector	Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud (DIPC)
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	Oracle For daily transactional information and customer data needs it has been an extremely fast and reliable system. Several thousand users are able to connect many third party tools and run a large number of extracts while still experiencing great performance. For smaller systems in use with limited user accounts this system is less appropriate due to maintenance resources required. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Oracle ODI uses ELT architecture, which enhances the load performance and is very scalable. ODI is platform independent. It supports all platforms, hardware and operating systems. It comes with pre-built integration, allowing immediate data replication, transformation, and data governance while ensuring data quality.

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	Oracle Training and ramping up to learn all the Oracle specific intricacies. Security concerns with administering some of the tools to end users. 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. Umair Mehboob Senior Devops Engineer Read full review	Oracle We are longtime ODI on-premise users. So, it was easy for us to migrate to the ODI cloud rather than implementing another solution.

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.
