Data workflows have accelerated and now optimize migration and cost management
The best feature Airbyte Cloud offers is data transformation. Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted our organization by being very helpful and speeding up our work environment. An example of how it has helped speed things up is that we have data here and there, which helps us to organize and speed up our migration. Data tasks help our workflow and organization because most of the things we do manually, so that helps organize.

Automation expertise grows and enhances global collaboration
The most valuable aspect is the ability to integrate with over 20,000 applications, which is a superior feature compared to Make.com that has limited applications access. I use multi-step automation workflows in my tasks, which increases productivity and efficiency. The features such as if-else conditions allow for different branches in automation, making the automation more productive. I utilized conditional logic, text parsing, and formatting. My experience with these advanced features has been excellent. For instance, I once pushed data from Zapier to GoHighLevel while checking the date, and based on that date, I created automation in GoHighLevel that involved various branches, effectively creating a loop. Remote access to Zapier's automated workflows and cloud integration is beneficial. I use cloud services such as Google Drive and Dropbox within Zapier. The remote capabilities are advantageous, allowing us to provide services from Pakistan for businesses based in the USA, reducing company expenses when hiring employees from the USA. The ability to work remotely globally through Zapier is a significant opportunity.

"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"It revolutionized our back-office."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to integrate with over 20,000 applications, which is a superior feature compared to Make.com that has limited applications access."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"There are immense possibilities to scale your business through Zapier."
"I recommend Zapier because there is demand and it is easy to use."
 

Cons

"I think Airbyte Cloud can be improved by adding more connectors and more customizable connectors."
"Airbyte Cloud can be improved because it looks good so far, but based on the AI coming, they have to catch up with AI agents."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved."
"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"
"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."
"We did have stability issues, at one point every week. This was 3 years ago."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"In our case, very limited actions and limited objects are supported."
"The technical support is low."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
"It's very straightforward licensing. There's only one cost you have to pay, and if you want a relevant pricing plan, I think you have two or three different models or packages which include the number of notifications or Zaps, as they call it, that you can program."
"Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
"Zapier is a paid service. Its license renews monthly, and Zapier will downgrade your subscription to the free version when your credit card doesn't have funds. That significantly impacts your service because everything halts completely. Zapier doesn't have any hidden costs."
"The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks."
"Zapier's price is good."
"It's very affordable."
"Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
