Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that orchestration and development capabilities are easier with the tool."
"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."
"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
"The product's most valuable feature is automation."
"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 connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"It's almost semi-automatic because you must review and approve code push, which works well. Still, we had many problems getting there during the deployment process, but we got there."
"The user-defined functions have shortcomings in AWS Data Pipeline."
"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."
"I would like to see them improve the Quickbase integration. Currently, it only allows triggering actions when records are added, but it would be more useful if we could also trigger actions when records are modified or deleted."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"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."
"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."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"
