Layer2 Cloud Connector vs. SAP Integration Suite

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.

E-commerce Integration:Scenario: An e-commerce business utilizes SAP Integration Suite to integrate its online storefront with back-end systems. This includes connecting order processing, inventory management, and customer relationship systems to ensure a smooth and efficient order fulfillment process.Real-time Analytics and Reporting:Scenario: A retail organization utilizes SAP Integration Suite to enable real-time analytics by integrating data from multiple sources. This includes POS systems, online sales platforms, and customer feedback applications, providing timely insights for informed decision-making.

• Layer2 provides best connectivity with SharePoint
• It syncs local network shared files to the SharePoint
• Provides details file history

• The drag-and-drop interface, as well as SAP regular improvements to its pre-packaged content, are also excellent features.
• The security features (such as the cloud connection for sending data to the local system, as well as encryption and scrambling) are really beneficial.
• Unlike other tools I've tested, the SAP connectivity package offers access to third-party cloud apps.
• Prototyping may be completed more quickly, and the team can determine whether or not to proceed with the integration depending on the feedback process.

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

• There are some loopholes there by which some problems appears, may be different usage in different modules, as i am working on PP module but we lack sometime with linkage of MM module.

SAP Integration Suite is very helpful to us in many ways to manage purchase procedures, stocks, and data of vendors and suppliers. Also, it helps to manage data for service providers. SAP Integration Suite has the tool to conduct training and evaluation. Unique features like the cloud can provide access from any place and by any device is very helpful.

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 selected it because its now one of the best thing to do and to work. As we are currently working from home it makes the work easy and comfortable and yet the main usage will be in office the environment created will be simple. The UI logic is based on some calculations which will rely on some natural intuations of mind and when it comes to mind it is easy.

• Layer2 resolves the time management issue
• Resolved data syncing issues across different external vendors
• LOE optimisation with using Layer2 connector.

• In the long run will enable us to undeploy our on premise solution
• As long as integration suite doesn't support all capabilities PO has complete migration is hard
• Will probably be cheaper than our on premise solution when we are completely migrated
