Unified console
The New Exalate experience introduces a unified web-based console at exalate.app that manages all integrations in one place, replacing Classic's separate consoles for each platform. This unified interface provides workspace views showing connection status, sync activity, and configuration settings across all your integrations simultaneously.
Aida AI assistance
Aida is the most significant functional addition, offering AI-assisted script building and error troubleshooting based on the context of your connected systems. Unlike Exalate Classic, where you write all sync logic manually, Aida generates Groovy code from plain language descriptions and provides context-aware suggestions when issues occur. The platform also introduces versioning and rollback for sync configurations, allowing teams to track changes and revert to previous versions if needed.
Test Run
Test Run functionality enables safe testing of sync rules on specific work items before deploying to production. You can simulate how configuration changes will behave and review results without affecting live data, a capability not available in Exalate Classic. The side-by-side view for sync rules and error handling improves visibility into what's happening on both sides of integrations.
Activities
Activities gives you a record of who changed what on a connection, and when. Creating or launching a connection, inviting a collaborator, editing a script, publishing a new configuration, syncing an item manually, deactivating or deleting a connection - each action is recorded with the person who performed it and a timestamp. For configuration and script changes, you can open the entry and compare the previous version with the current one. The record is read-only and cannot be edited or deleted by anyone, including Exalate, and it is kept for 90 days. You can filter it by date range or by a specific connection. Activities is available on the Pro and Enterprise plans, and during the trial. Exalate Classic has no equivalent: changes are made on each node separately and leave no shared trail.
Subscription-Based Pricing
The pricing model shifts from instance-based to subscription-based plans tied to active items in sync rather than charging separately for each system. New Exalate uses Starter, Scale, Pro, and Enterprise tiers based on how many items you synchronize, making it more cost-effective to connect multiple systems under a single subscription.
What Stays the Same?
What remains the same is the core scripting engine, Groovy-based sync logic, autonomous control architecture, and the replica concept for data exchange. The flexibility to handle complex custom workflows through scripting continues unchanged between both experiences.
