# CloudRail Reviews **Vendor:** CloudRail **Category:** [Industrial IoT Software](https://www.g2.com/categories/industrial-iot) **Average Rating:** 3.8/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 4 ## About CloudRail CloudRail API Integration Solution: Save Weeks of Development Time. Unified APIs: Tired of learning different APIs and dealing with bad API documentation? CloudRail gives you a unified API for multiple Web-APIs. So, for instance, the function upload() works exactly the same for Dropbox as it does for Google Drive. Easily integrate whole categories of providers, e.g. Social Log-Ins, or change a provider with a single line of code. API Change Management: APIs change all the time, leading to broken integrations, unsatisfied customers and even more wasted development time for you. We monitor all APIs and keep your integrations running. You get immediate notifications about changes and all you need to do is replace the CloudRail library with the latest version – no code changes required. Simple APIs and Perfect Documentation Tired of complex APIs and hundreds of pages of bad documentation? We’ve done everything to design clean and easy APIs and provide a documentation which we love as developers. Direct Data Non of your data will ever pass a CloudRail server! The system doesn’t use a hosted middleware. All data transformation happens in the CloudRail library which is integrated in your App. This means no data privacy concerns, no down-times and no additional SPOF. OAuth Made Simple Doing oAuth authentications is a pain. There is OAuth1 and OAuth2 but actually all are implemented differently. CloudRail makes authorizations as simple as adding a single line of code. ## CloudRail Reviews ### 1.

An API Integration Solution **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Suru S. | Data Science Trainee, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2022 **What do you like best about CloudRail?** I like how it pre-processes the data acquired from different resources especially the IOT devices use case I've used it in and manage it while connecting to the cloud platform in a short span of time with the help of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) which is all unified. **What do you dislike about CloudRail?** Compared to other API Management tools or API management Hub, the one thing that I do not like is it misses out on Live Monitoring feature where we can keep track of all the performance metrics and load metrics. **What problems is CloudRail solving and how is that benefiting you?** Bridges the gap of integrating Services (Saas) at a very minimal cost with remote updates and good security enabling integrations stay updated even if the APIs get changed with time. Eliminates on-site configurations which is a tedious task. ### 3.
