What do you like best about Exalate?

It is very flexible. I could implement practically every scenario I wanted because I was not limited by the interface. It is script based but there are so many ready to use scripts in the documentation that it is not a problem if you do not know the groovy scripting language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exalate?

If the sync gets stopped it is hard to identify the reason just by reading the error log. Maybe some kind of filtering would be helpful. Also, sometimes the sync stops without any reason and then you need resolve and retry a connection. However, notifications about it can be configured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exalate solving and how is that benefiting you?

It connects two Jira instances so one of them can be put in front of a firewall and the other remains in a secured environment.

It can connect two teams in one Jira instance where outputs of one team can become an input for another team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Exalate?

It really helps to cut down on repetitive work by automatically creating the Jira ticket from Zendesk.

We have Exalate in our Zendesk support ticketing and use it with Jira. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exalate?

Exalate tends to go down randomly pretty often. Never for very long, but just long enough to ask colleagues, "Anyone else having issues?" you get a few yesses and then it's working again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exalate solving and how is that benefiting you?

It cuts down having to enter ticket information in multiple places by doing it for us. It also allows the technicians to reply to Support via Jira, since they never access ZD (nor have any reason to). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Exalate?

Easy to start using, you can create the first version very quickly and see the results.

Great support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exalate?

No filtering options in connections/triggers

When updating connections the order of connections in the list is changed and it's challenging to follow up on what connection you already updated and what is still left.

Error messages are console messages and users without experience can't easily understand what's the error about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exalate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our customer did need to copy tickets from JSM-project to "Development"-project(s) based on different criterias. With Exalate we can easily create separate configurations with simple UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Exalate?

It is a good representation of our desired use case. I like the option of being able to configure the app via scripting.

I don't know any competitors so I can't do a comparison here :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exalate?

We often get unexplainable issues that can be resolved by clicking "Resolve and retry" once without any other action. I wished that if a sync fails Exalate automatically retries it once after some delay so there is no need that a JIRA admin clicks the button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Exalate:

The support is great and if you are a talented Groovy coder you can for sure do cool things.

It is recommended to work with static typeing when writing sync scripts.

Please also note that the Connect option does not fire the sync scripts again - this is an important "need to know, else you may run into a trap". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exalate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Copying this from ticket in helpdesk:

our use case is as follows:

We do have an external JIRA which acts as helpdesk for our clients.

We do have an internal JIRA which acts as issue tracker for our developers.

This setup has been chosen because we did not want to open our internal JIRA to the world since it can include confidential data.

If a client reports a bug we do not yet have in our issue tracker we use Exalate to clone the ticket into an internal issue that we then update with some additional information manually.

If now further clients also report the same issue we will connect their tickets to the existing internal issue.

These process is done because we have various automation to inform the clients in the ticket about the progress of their cases based on the status of the internal issue.

So the use case in a nutshell is to connect customer tickets to internal issues (retrospectively). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Exalate?

The visual interface, although new is a good way to go. Easy to configure. There are bugs that I reported but once that is fixed, the product will be complete.

It did take some time to polish all bugs, but after that was done, it didn't require us to monitor anymore.

I strongly suggest you opt-in for professional services if you have time constraints.

Sales and support are excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exalate?

It takes some time to understand how the product operates. Definitely not a tool for quick fixes.

It will become a great product once all interface issues are solved. Before that happens you need to get into groovy scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Exalate:

If you have simple tasks that you need to do, then you might consider Exalate. Using it across platforms (Zendesk, JIRA DC, JIRA Cloud) as I do is painful and not reliable at all. Errors are popping like Xmass lights for all kinds of reasons. Even if you make it work and for hours there is no a single Sync error, two days later you come back, there are 60 errors in the bucket. So it needs to be constantly monitored. Which goes into the reliability section.

Features are different, depending on the platform. For instance, Visual editor which is simple to use and which I do like is available in Zendesk -> Jira Cloud migration, but when you try JIRA DC -> Jira Cloud migration, this option is not available. You need to go with the script. So if you didn't have any contact with Groovy, now you will have to excel it. So definitely you should check if using something to do API calls instead of Exalate is something that is easier to set up.

Some of the bugs of the Zendesk component interface I've already reported so these need to be fixed. Limitations like the addition of the new fields you need to overcome.

Here is the explanation. If you create a connection using Visual editor and after you are done you want to add one new field to be synced, this is not possible without writing a script. It doesn't o refresh.

Also, system fields from Zendesk are not being synced so I cannot catch Zendesk Issue ID and place it on the JIRA ticket for reference. This is a problem when keeping track of issues you have in Sync! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exalate solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm using Exalate to support migration from Zendesk to Jira Cloud and from Jira DC to Jira Cloud.

Important to mention is that I'm not using it to migrate issues! I'm using it to keep them in sync (unidirectional) until the cutover date. Another tool is being used for the actual migration of issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Exalate?

App handles connection boilerplate and allows us to focus on mapping the business logic for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exalate?

Not so much a dislike, but Groovy can be difficult to maintain, and as it is code, we would like to see support for this being pulled from Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Exalate:

Exalate is extremely powerful and configurable. Like many tools, this is both a strength and a weakness. Make sure you fully understand your business requirements before you start writing any mapping logic. Treat the configs as code and store them in git. Make sure to do PRs as part of your process to make changes. If you need help reach out to the Exalate team early. If you need help with anything, work with a local consulting firm / Exalate partner who is experienced in working with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exalate solving and how is that benefiting you?

We deployed Exalate for clients who needed to synchronize internal and external Jira systems. By doing this, our customer has been able to achieve a level of security that meets their risk profile and needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Exalate?

The ease of configuration between Zendesk and Jira made the application a breeze to set up. The Customer Service Staff new the product and gave me answers almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Exalate?

I understand that they are trying to build their Q&A section and forums, but sometimes there is a time crunch and a quick answer from the team is better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Exalate:

Test it out, if it isnt what your looking for...keep looking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Exalate solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to get the customers problems to the Developers and IT teams. Jira is not a good customer service ticket system, but is the leading for IT and Devops. By linking the two platforms, we cut out duplication and missed communication by creating one ticket for both systems and updating both as we go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
