These tools offer benefits such as improved business close rates, increased customer retention, and market expansion by providing necessary integrations. However, they also present challenges, including the need for technical expertise, the burden of building individual integrations, and limitations in maintenance and management capabilities. The text highlights Merge's Unified API as a solution that addresses some of these drawbacks by allowing scalable integrations and offering comprehensive monitoring and management features. It also mentions various vendors in the market, such as Tray.io and Workato, and emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between them.
