    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.

    • It is great for companies or people that are using software that is mainstream and would like to extend the capability of that software with added features.
    • Also great for companies that use more than 1 software and need to have them interact with each other to make them more efficient
    • Great for companies that need to automate functions that are repetitive throughout the organization

    I really enjoy using Pabbly, it is fast, pretty simple, has lot of connections and support has been fairly helpful. I would give it just a higher rating if it came with a faster live chat and more templates for non techies like myself but overall has been reliable, usable with no bugs, and helpful to connect tasks especially any google sheet/doc/form etc task

    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.

    I think Integrately has a superior UX, it is a little easier and less techy to use, but doesn't have the amount of integrations that Pabbly has. So far, a lot more softwares offer Pabbly connection than Integratly and that is really the deciding factor
