Glances was purpose-built to eliminate the complexity, fragility, and risk of traditional two-way data integrations. It gives you the data you need, when and where you need it. There’s no syncing, storing, or duplicating anything.
Two-way sync integrations automatically push updates between two systems so the data stays the same in both places. This can work for some situations, but it comes with significant drawbacks, especially in regulated environments like banking.
Key challenges with two-way syncs:
Glances takes a modern, no-code approach. Instead of syncing or copying data between systems, it gives your team real-time, read-only access to live data, straight from the source.
What makes Glances different:
Feature | Glances | Traditional Two-Way Sync |
---|---|---|
Syncs data between systems | No syncing – view-only access | Yes (bi-directional) |
Setup complexity | Low (no-code) | High |
Ongoing maintenance | None | Required |
Risk of overwriting or data loss | No – original data remains intact | Yes |
Data stored outside source system | Never | Often |
System performance impact | Lightweight and browser-based | Can slow systems |
IT resources needed | Minimal | Significant |
If you need real-time visibility across systems and want to avoid the risk and complexity of traditional syncing, Glances is the better alternative.
It’s not a workaround. It’s a smarter way forward.
