"Easy to use and reliable integration platform"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Frends?

Short learning curve if you are familiar with any programming language. Reliable platform and if you put any consideration on error handling most of the integrations are "launch and forget".

I've used it for very complex integrations and to fix messed up data from business systems. But I've never run out of optons or functions with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Frends?

If you hadn't chaged your pricing system I would have given 10 out of 10 points. Now 20% of development time goes into optimizing licensing costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Frends iPaaS review"
4/5
What do you like best about Frends?

The most helpful feature in Frends is the visualization of you autiomation pipeline. It is also quite easy to transfer files between systems using Frends. It is also possible to integrate your own custom apps into the pipeline quite easily. I have integrated our own Java app and it was no brainer to integrate that.

What do you dislike about Frends?

The use of environment variables is a bit annoying. Don't take me wrong here, you can do a lot with them, but user experience is not optimal with the environment variables.

Some of the components could be even more easier to use. I would also like a support for another programming language besides C#. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Frends integration platform review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Frends?

Partially self-documenting integration processes, reusable subprocesses, API management is very straightforward compared to Azure APIM, a plethora of ready made tasks to use straight-out-of-the-box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Frends?

The GUI othen times feels a little restrictive especially with expression logic, popups that obscure panels and not having a direct route to see source code for debugging purposes etc. For more demanding integrations, I'm wondering why choose Frends platform as opposed to custom implementations on Azure as the need for external services (e.g. Service Bus, fan-out..) would have to be implemented elsewhere -> connecting Frends.

"It's powerful and easy to use"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Frends?

The copy-paste functionality and subprocesses make scalability and reusability easy and user-friendly. The low code approach overall is excellent, you can create complicated solutions with a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Frends?

Frends is focused more on A2A, it would have been nice to have more B2B functionality out of the box. One example could be validations for common EDI standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Frends?

Some fields are in effect eventhough they are not visible or not chosen to be applicable to the process, this brakes the process and error messages are usually very cryptic and you have to hunt down or get very lucky to find the culprit(s). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
