Why engineering teams pick Paragon over Tray

While Tray was built for operations teams stringing together internal automations, Paragon is designed from the ground up for developers building customer-facing, multi-tenant integrations.

Integrations-as-code

Build integrations in code or in a workflow builder

Paragon offers a Typescript Framework that is fully integrated with our visual workflow builder. This combines the benefits of our Embedded iPaaS with the flexibility and control of code.

Version control, code review, and collaborate on integrations

Bi-directionally synced with your git repository

CLI for managing your Paragon project programatically

API Coverage

White-labeled and native to your application

Whereas Tray redirects users to a Tray URL for auth and configuration, Paragon enables you to provide an integration experience that is native to your application.

White-labeled and customizable embedded JavaScript modal

Dynamic field mapping and user settings

Fully customize the UI with our headless SDK

Deployment

A robust deployment process

Don't risk accidentally deploying untested changes to integrations into production on Tray.

Paragon provides a robust release environments pipeline to ensure changes are safely deployed and version controlled.

Separate Development, Staging, and Production environments

Diff that highlights changes between versions

Warnings that highlight potential breaking changes being introduced

Monitoring

Robust monitoring & observability

Don’t settle for Tray's simple task-level logging.
Paragon enables you to stream errors to your team’s observability platform and provides a support dashboard for managing your customers’ integration states.

Support dashboard for integration health

Webhooks for streaming errors to DataDog, Sentry, New Relic, etc.

Task history API to query usage patterns

Hosting options

Enterprise-level security

If you sell to enterprise customers (or even to the government), having Tray host and process their credentials and data will add complexity and concerns around data residency to the sales cycle.
That's why Paragon offers both cloud and self-hosted deployment options, to fit your security requirements.
