Good question and one we get daily in our network.

We point our Cazoomi members to our "Data Integrators Features and TCO Matrix" to find out the true integration TCO for their business.

Our teams have worked with the vendors & spent 100's of hours doing the research so you don't have to | http://bit.ly/8Y4o48

I think we need to add RunMyProcess as well soon.

Thanks Clint, this is a great comparaison table, I did not know it existed but that is exactly what I needed. I think you are right, the guys at RunMyProcess also deserve your attention.
Thanks again

Sure Brian,

We can get you up and running on any platform you choose or a custom solution that fits your needs.

When building workflow/process applications new needs comes up as you start optimizing the process. An API that at a first look provides rich functionality is actually quite limited in practical use. For example you can create a new project through the API, but there is no way of adding users to the project. When asking the vendor to add this functionality in the API, the standard answer is "we are working on this". But nothing happens.

Another issue we experienced was a hook in the API that did not allow us to use the API integration as a background task. A user had to be login to the system and confirm the action in the user interface.

For REST based integrations use RunMyProcess, they have pre configured integrations available for most SaaS applications and it is easy to start with.
