"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"Support is expensive."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."
"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."
"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"Business monitoring (BAM) needs improvement because the analytics and prediction module very often has performance problems."
"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"
"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"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."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
