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 centralized 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 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 Classic. The side-by-side view for sync rules and error handling improves visibility into what's happening on both sides of integrations.
Pricing model changes
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 work items you synchronize, making it more cost-effective to connect multiple systems under a single subscription.
Authentication improvements
Authentication improvements mean administrators can manage integrations without requiring admin privileges in the connected systems themselves. This separation provides better security controls and more flexible access management compared to Classic's authentication model.
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.
