"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"Technical support is good."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"Provides good security features."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"The support is very good."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
"Zapier is a really good tool for connecting multiple different platforms and data sources. For example, with Quickbase, I can easily integrate data from other sources like AWS or task-tracking platforms such as ClickUp or Asana."
"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."
"The ability to connect web applications to trigger actions in another app after having enriched, formatted, delayed, grouped, and filtered is really valuable for many businesses."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
"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."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"The product should improve its support."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"A general improvement in icons and the virtual interface would be good."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"Zapier needs to improve in the same way most RPA solutions should, such as Robocorp, Make, or UiPath. They are not good at helping you find the connections that you need for the problem that you have. For example, if need something on Instagram. I'm going to have to do research for hours to be able to find the components or the app, which is going to do what I need it to do. It makes it difficult to use the system when you don't know what to use."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"Being able to share Zaps and organize them with teammates would allow sharing and refining scenarios and even combining steps that require different people's credentials."
"System-to-system is fine, but when it comes to system-to-user, where Zapier is helping to communicate to a user, that's a one-way communication. If that user has to perform some action on that notification, the action isn't handled by Zapier. So there's no way to orchestrate that and it's very cumbersome."
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
