For years, Security and DevOps SaaS vendors have faced a persistent challenge: customer facing integration with third-party tools . As enterprise customers now expect seamless connectivity across their toolsets, integrating with other platforms has shifted from being optional to essential. Yet, building and maintaining these integrations remains a costly, time-consuming drain on engineering resources. Each tool comes with its own unique requirements—authentication, rate limits, workflows, data formats, and interfaces—making integrations a constant challenge that slows down innovation.
The Idea and Its Evolution
Sudhanva (Unizo CTO and Co-founder) and I built an in-house framework “Universal API Adapter” while building an infrastructure SaaS in 2015-2018 when we faced this challenge first-time without realizing scale and impact of this problem in the industry. Both of us have been dealing with this challenge firsthand while building security and infrastructure SaaS products at different companies since then. Every new integration meant countless engineering hours spent wrangling APIs, resolving inconsistencies, and managing breaking changes. As we scaled, the problem compounded—each integration added new layers of complexity, fragility, and overhead.
Through conversations with other security and DevOps vendors, it was clear – this wasn’t just our pain point; nearly every SaaS company was caught in the same cycle. At the same time, another shift became evident: AI agents are rapidly becoming central to security and DevOps automation. These agents rely on seamless, real-time access to data and tools to unlock their full potential. But without smooth, reliable integrations, their effectiveness is hampered, and the adoption of AI-driven automation slows.
The problem became clear: integrations are holding back progress, especially as the AI revolution accelerates. So, we asked ourselves: What if there was a better way?
What if there is a unified layer that abstracts the variance across all these tools? A solution that standardizes interactions, scales effortlessly, and provides a unified interface to product teams?
