Overview and Configuration Guide: Integrating Axcient products with Gradient
Overview
Note: The Axcient team recommended creating three separate integrations for their products: x360Recover, x360Cloud, and x360Sync—as:
- All products pull usage data from the same endpoint. If a partner has multiple Axcient products, their customer names will appear multiple times under different account IDs, as each Account ID is unique to the product, which may cause confusion with mapping.
- The Axcient billing API retrieves the latest usage data on the 1st of each month. Any changes made between the start and end of the month will be reflected in the following month's update.
- Each product uses a different billing metric.
Billing metrics
-
x360Recover: Device allocation and storage usage
-
x360Cloud: seats
-
x360Sync: seats
