#1 Exalate alternative for busy enterprise IT teams

The Exalate alternative
without the consultancy fees

Exalate is good at getting a first integration live cheaply. IT teams graduate to ONEiO when the consultancy fees
and broken connectors add up - because they'd rather hand off the headache than own it themselves.

The pattern we see

Exalate looks like the low risk option. It's not.

It usually starts the same way. Low entry cost, quick setup, works fine for the first use case. Then complexity grows.

The consultant bill arrives.

Exalate’s scripting engine requires specialist knowledge. The ‘secret language’ Exalate customers talk about. Most teams don’t have it, and weren’t told about it until it was too late. So they hire someone (typically around €1,000 per day) just to get it working.

It breaks. Nobody sees it coming.

A platform update. A field mapping change. Something stops syncing. Exalate runs on proprietary scripting logic that most teams can’t read or diagnose themselves. There’s no proactive monitoring. Just a problem that surfaces, code nobody fully understands, and another invoice to fix it.

Scaling becomes its own project.

Exalate is built for developers, not the business. The technical team can extend it, in theory. But the people accountable for outcomes keep asking why those outcomes aren’t arriving. More systems, more custom requirements, more resource requests. The tool keeps growing. The results don’t.

Nobody owns the outcome.

Exalate provides a platform. What happens on it, and what it costs, is your responsibility. Costs are unpredictable. Outcomes are unguaranteed. When things go wrong, there’s no accountability on the other side. Just a support ticket and a wait.
