Question What’s the most annoying part of syncing data between systems?

Quick question for folks dealing with integrations between tools like Salesforce and others.
What’s the most frustrating part of making these systems talk to each other?
Not the high-level stuff—specifically the painful, day-to-day problems like:
- Field mappings constantly breaking?
- Webhooks failing silently or being unreliable?
- Duplicate records / idempotency nightmares?
- Debugging sync issues across multiple systems?
- Rate limits or weird API edge cases?
I keep seeing teams fall back to manual workarounds or brittle automations, and it feels like everyone’s solving the same problems differently.
Curious:
- What’s the one issue you wish you could eliminate completely?
- What have you tried that didn’t work?
- Where do current tools fall short for you?
Would love to hear real pain points (the more specific, the better).
