How to choose the best iPaaS (Integration platform as a service)

What is an iPaaS solution?

Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) is a set of cloud services that makes it possible to create, run, and manage integration flows that connect any combination of on-premises and cloud-based processes, services, applications, and data within a single organization or between multiple organizations.

1. Connector library

The quality of a reverse ETL tool's connectors is only as good as the tool itself. Examine the connector library as well as the depth of the critical connectors.

2. Event-Driven Integrations

Event-driven architecture allows you to create powerful real-time integrations. Instead of waiting for a scheduled sync, your pipelines should be updated instantly across all your applications.

3. Intelligent and Rule based

Intelligent and condition based pipelines allow you to update the specific data that should be updated. This will speed up your updates and make your business applications smarter and faster.

4. Hybrid Integration

A hybrid platform increases your flexibility and enables your company to integrate to systems wherever they are located. Connect to cloud-based or on-premise applications behind fire-walls.

5. Reliability and Speed

Your reverse ETL tool's arguably most important feature is its synchronization reliability and speed. For various use cases, you probably have multiple syncs pulling from the same connector.

6. Easy-to-Use

You must be able to use the tool, regardless of its theoretical superiority. Crosser offers a low-code drag-and-drop environment, for anyone to master.

Your customers expect you to safeguard their sensitive information and your reverse ETL tool must uphold the required security standards.

8. Cost of the Platform

Transparent pricing and the ability to calculate costs as the business grows is important to most business managers.
