Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's scalable.""The virtualization tool is useful.""The data lineage is great.""The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""The interface is really user-friendly.""Great features available in one tool.""The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities.""The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."

"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier.""With the previous CRM we were using – the Google Ads landing pages we had – we were collecting leads manually. That process was not efficient and took a sales team a lot of time to insert these leads manually. Currently, the process is smooth and we use Zapier to collect the leads for us.""The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve.""We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up.""Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say.""Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments.""Zapier's interface, for me, is the solution's greatest value proposition. It is designed and developed for people who don't have a clue about what they're trying to do. It has a very user-friendly interface.""There are a few valuable features, like the stability that it comes with and also the number of features that it offers. I've used other services like Pabbly, but they don't offer similar numbers of applications that Zapier has or allows to integrate with – it's maximum."

More Zapier Pros →

Cons
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive.""The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved.""The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""Some error messages can be very cryptic.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""The workflow could be improved."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"Zapier needs more YouTube or video tutorials or more training for people. That would help a lot. In particular, Zapier should have documentation for every connector. Its documentation needs to be more detailed and visual.""I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it.""With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation.""Some apps are not available yet. For instance, a connection with Joomla! would be great. In general, all the most-used apps are available, but I bumped into Joomla! with a client.""The pricing of the solution is quite expensive.""There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved.""The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments.""My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
  • "It's expensive."
  • "The solution’s pricing is high."
  • More Palantir Foundry Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
  • "Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
  • "It's very straightforward licensing. There's only one cost you have to pay, and if you want a relevant pricing plan, I think you have two or three different models or packages which include the number of notifications or Zaps, as they call it, that you can program."
  • "The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
  • "Zapier is a paid service. Its license renews monthly, and Zapier will downgrade your subscription to the free version when your credit card doesn't have funds. That significantly impacts your service because everything halts completely. Zapier doesn't have any hidden costs."
  • "Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
  • "It's very affordable."
  • "The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks."

    Reviews from Real Users

    PeerSpot users like Palantir Foundry because it has many advantages:

    “It is user-friendly, good automation, and allows you to do a better job of data governance.” - Associate, Inhouse Consulting at a pharma/biotech company

    “Works seamlessly with good end-to-end capabilities and the capability to scale.- Wallace H., Sr. Director at a tech services company




    Zapier is a tool for primarily non-technical users to connect together web apps.

    An integration between two apps is called a Zap. A Zap is made up of a Trigger and one or more Actions or Searches.

    Whenever the trigger happens in one app, Zapier will automatically perform the actions or searches in another app in order.

    Zaps are very lightweight and easy to set up. Zaps do not import or export old data (they only operate on new items created after the Zap is enabled). Zaps are also not kept in sync ("two way syncing") after the Zap is triggered.

    Zaps are deceivingly simple if you're used to dealing with complex and difficult integrations. Their simplicity is what enables anyone to create them.
