"The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it."

"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"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'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 solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."

"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."
"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."
"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"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."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."
"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."
