User Testimonials
	Layer2 Cloud Connector	RepreZen API Studio
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	RepreZen RepreZen API Studio is well suited for running on two operating systems and the nice UIs are good. But better appearance could improve the UX. Behdad Ahmadi CEO (Chief Executive Officer) 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	RepreZen Running on OS X and Windows Great performance Nice UI and UX Behdad Ahmadi CEO (Chief Executive Officer) 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	RepreZen No answers on this topic
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. Umair Mehboob Senior Devops Engineer Read full review	RepreZen No answers on this topic
