Jitterbit Reviews for 2018

In 2018, if you still haven’t purchased an integration platform, you are behind the competition in more ways than one. We have reviewed a number of integration platforms in the past few weeks, and our reviews have helped us realize where some integration platforms excel and where some fall short. We plan on doing a number of API integration platform and specifically Jitterbit reviews, and we are starting where we feel the most compelled. To come up with this article we looked closely at the Jitterbit platform as well as used Jitterbit reviews from other sources such as G2Crowd and Getapp.

The most striking realization for us was just how well of a fit the Jitterbit API platform is for mid-size companies. Jitterbit may not be the most complex or powerful integration platform out there and Jitterbit may not have even meant to fill this gap, but it still shines in a number of ways that medium-sized companies can appreciate. It is no wonder that Jitterbit is a favorite for this sector as per G2Crowd.com.

1. Popular Connectors Built-In

The Jitterbit integration platform comes with a number of popular ERP connectors built in for easier and quicker integration between many common SaaS options for mid-sized businesses. Not to mention an entire wizard devoted to Salesforce integration. These features allow mid-sized businesses with little to no integration knowledge or resources a lifeline to realizing the full value of their API integration platform investment almost immediately. You will not need to spend weeks training employees on the in’s and out’s of common API’s as well as bringing them up to speed on the integration platform itself. Out-of-the-box business analysts can turn into API integration experts in a matter of hours with the Jitterbit platform.

2. Intuitive Interface

Jitterbit’s easy to understand interface is another reason companies with little IT resources can pick up the program and immediately start creating value. The combination of drag-and-drop functionality combined with step-by-step wizards makes the platform truly business analyst-friendly. The interface is the definition of intuitive; things are just where you would expect to find them and work as you would think they would.

The platform allows you to save targets, end-points, scripts, and variables for easier access in the future, so you never have to set up anything more than once. You can copy and paste entire operations and create chain (multi-step) integrations with surprisingly little effort.

Custom scripting still requires technical knowledge. However, Jitterbit has recently updated its platform to allow for scripts to be written entirely in Javascript, a language most IT staffers are more than familiar with. The Jitterbit API calls will still take some time to get up to speed with, but the script editor provides plenty of help in the form of pop-up suggestions as well as full access to the API call catalog inches away from the script your working on.

3. Utility

The Jitterbit integration platform provides a remarkable amount of utility. Jitterbit as EDI functionality, enterprise-scale data migration capabilities, API integration, and can even develop custom API’s . This “do it all” product ensures you will only need one platform for moving any amount of data, anywhere, anyhow, saving the business the hassle of paying for and managing multiple subscriptions as well as providing all of your integration needs on one screen. This data utility belt is quite the tool for businesses with limited resources and staff.

4. Reliability, Support, and Security

Running in the Amazon cloud, Jitterbit boasts of a 99.99% uptime that is clutch for businesses all of kinds. The support and community are well-run and robust. You will never feel alone while using this platform; there will always be a partner, community member, or Jitterbit support agent who can provide some  guidance to help you move forward. Security is clearly not an afterthought, and you can rest assured knowing your data is safe behind a formidable firewall.

This type of support is consistent with a company that does not cut any corners, and you can rely on to reflect to your customers that your business is not an amateur brand and should be seen as a serious threat to the competition. With the Jitterbit platform, mid-sized companies get all the comfort and support of an enterprise grade system at a price point fit for a medium sized budget.
