We performed a comparison between Alteryx Designer and Zapier based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"Alteryx Designer is a tool that is pretty much easy to install."
"The functionality of drag and drop is the most valuable. It is a very user-friendly tool that can be understood easily. My teams also work with other solutions, such as Integration Services, and these solutions are very difficult for people who don't have technical knowledge."
"I believe in the ability to connect to multiple data sources, as well as the ease of use to transform data and output data in a variety of formats."
"For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"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."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"Its price can be improved. It is too expensive for our country. Because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region. We used to be their reseller partner. There is also an additional cost for automating the data and running the flows, which makes it even more expensive. It will be very good if they can let users automate the data for free. Other solutions like Tableau provide this feature for free."
"Optimizing processing times is one area I would like to see improved in Alteryx Designer. Sometimes, the workflows take an extremely long time to run. There are days when I have had to wait two to three hours for a single process to complete. There needs to be a functionality to split the processes."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow."
"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
