Pros
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable.""I have found the solution to be scalable.""This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background.""The product's initial setup phase was easy.""I really appreciate the on-the-go access through the browser and the B2B integration.""AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations.""I like the tool's optimization feature.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."

"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient.""Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use.""It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform.""Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."

"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier.""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 most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices.""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 product's initial setup phase was very easy.""Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market.""The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve.""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."

Cons
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view.""The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle.""Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area.""Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required.""The product's UI could be more convenient.""Documentation could be improved.""Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc.""They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."

More Boomi AtomSphere Integration Cons →

"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities.""It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."

More Workato Cons →

"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.""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.""There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved.""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.""Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was.""My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy.""With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
  • "They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
  • "The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
  • "This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
  • "The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
  • "When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
  • "The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "Approximately 20k annually."
  • More Boomi AtomSphere Integration Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
  • "Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
  • "Workato is an expensive solution."
  • More Workato 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."

    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.
