"Great email/calendar integration for our CRM"
5/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

Nylas makes it very easy to integrate with both Google and Microsoft-based emails/calendars and also legacy email accounts. We can use one API to work with all of those and don't need to worry about the housekeeping side of things. The scheduler is a really great tool for appointment creation. Nylas saved us months of work and is keeping us from having a lot of ops headaches. It is a joy to work with their sales and support team.

We are also excited about the new functionality they are developing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

There is not much to dislike. Obviously, I'd always love lower pricing but compared to the engineering resources needed it's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Email Synchronization Service"
5/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

Their service is easy to use, and it allows us to sync with pretty much every email provider out there. Also, their customer support is fantastic! We couldn't be happier by using Nylas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

They cannot do Bounce Checking, and their Reply detection could be a little bit better. But, I'm aware that they are working on improving the Bounce Checking. Hopefully, the Reply Detection is not that far down the line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nylas is a great way to provide enhanced functionality to your applications."
5/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

Nylas made it easy to add two-way calendar syncing into our application. We saved countless developer hours by utilizing Nylas versus building an Office 365 and Exchange integration in-house. It also gives us the ability to expand to Google Calendar in the future.

Also, the support provided by Chris, Chase, Brayton, and the Customer Success team was top-notch. Anytime we had an issue come up, we had a response from someone the same day. That kind of support is invaluable when you're integrating with a third-party API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

The speed at which updates propagate can be a little slow. It's not so slow that real users would notice, but it is noticeable during demos when you have your application and the calendar client open side by side. Nylas has told me that the new beta calendar API is quite a bit speedier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable business partners"
5/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

The Nylas solution was exactly what we were looking for and indirectly assisted with other needs we had as an organization. Their support as business partners is exceptional. IT is a pleasure to work with them, would refer to anyone without hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

Really nothing that we dislike. At this stage, we hope they develop other solutions we would need in the short term as quickly as they can so that we expand our dealings with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ServiceNow-Nylas-Outlook integration"
5/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

The customer service was excellent and a very good turn around time for solutions when problems popped up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

We built 80% of our solution on the ServiceNow side. It would have been nice to see Nylas do some of the lifting out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Partnering with Nylas frees up multiple engineers and gives us tons of time back"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

Instead of maintaining, managing, and troubleshooting issues with Exchange, we can rely on Nylas to successfully manage the MS Exchange Integration. It gives so much time back to our ProdDev team, so we can focus on building exciting new features for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

There are specific nuances in wording when it comes to disconnecting accounts. For example, what we would consider "stopped" is not the same as "disconnected". So, there is a manual process in removing accounts that are no longer active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrific Email Integration API"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

Nylas is easy to get started with and configured for your project. The Nylas API enables your team to build a powerful email/calendar integration spanning multiple providers (Google Workspace/Office365). On top of that are several other features that we found helpful, such as the sentiment analysis and readily available machine learning APIs that let you extract signature information or retrieve only the critical text from an HTML-heavy email. The Nylas support team is great and has answers for every step of your way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

We found the server-side NodeJS package a bit lacking and isn't maintained quite as frequently. That said, the critical pieces were there, but at times we directly interfaced with the API using Axios. The documentation is massive, and it can sometimes be challenging to find what you're looking for.

While not a problem with Nylas, if you are looking at building an application that uses Google/Google OAuth with emails outside your domain and uses restricted scopes (reading/editing emails/etc.) Google essentially has a paywall for security that requires a relatively expensive audit. If you're building an app for use within your domain or just targeting Outlook365 then you have nothing to worry about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good tool with potential to be great"
4/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

Reuseable UI elements and simple, well documented APIs. There is a good foundation for future enhancements in automated messaging and SMS to align with what exists today for email. Our support contacts have been pleasant and knowledgeable. The scheduling editor and event management tools in general are highly configurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

The inflexibility of hosted auth approach for the calendar API forced our hand into pursuing native authentication- if some consideration had been given to allowing a configurable ui element to tie into the hosted auth on nylas' end it would have saved quite a bit of time on our end. Although the documentation is thorough there are occasional contradictions/maintenance issues that can cause (albiet brief) delays in development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Never have to think about email integrations again"
5/5
What do you like best about Nylas?

- integrates with every email service (that matters)

- 10x'd our development speed

- excellent documentation for the technical product

- very simple and easy to use

- staff are extremely helpful with any questions

- top notch security or compliance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nylas?

- not too much, honestly. Nylas removes the technical challenge of integrating with other email services, but not the organization challenges (working with IT teams at other businesses). over time, we'd love to see Nylas provide best practices on how to make it easier for IT teams to integrate their custom Office or G Suite setups with the product.
