Elastic.io - Fast, scalable and cost effective integration

Pros

  • Unlike other integration platforms, using and implementing elastic.io is fairly simple and intuitive
  • You do not need to worry about scaling since it is taken care by the platform itself
  • Developing new connectors isn't complicated

Cons

  • The number of seeded or default connectors can be improved
  • The value for the money isn't exceptional
  • White labeling is not included in standard packages

Return on Investment

  • Instead of outsourcing the integration to external vendors, the client was able to identify the in-house resources and have them trained on elastic.io. It was made possible because it is quite intuitive and easy and this saved a lot of costs
  • In future when the client is expecting the transactions to go exponentially high in current systems, the number of efforts that will have to spend in scaling will be significantly lesser ensuring the savings of time and cost
