Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"A very user friendly solution."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"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 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."
"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 gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The security features could be improved."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"
"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."
"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."
"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."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
