We performed a comparison between Alteryx Designer and Zapier based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."
"One of the things I like about Alteryx Designer is how easy it is to connect numerous data inputs, including API connectors. This helps tremendously in reducing the time required to extract data from systems like SAP that don't have straightforward connectivity options."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."
"Alteryx Designer is easier to use for machine learning models. However, I am not very good at Python scripts which you will need to make the machine learning scripts."
"When you open a raw Excel file, it can be hard to look at everything in detail. Alteryx makes it much easier to go through the data, summarize it, and use different tools for analysis."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"Workflow automation, in general, is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"Improving the key-based sign-on process and making it more user-friendly would be a benefit."
"I would like to be able to include small snippets of code inside of the solution. The tool has only drag-and-drop features to make it easy to use, but sometimes I feel like this makes it more complicated."
"Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."
"The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"When configuring the Logix, the UA could be improved."
"Its price can be improved. It is too expensive for our country. Because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region. We used to be their reseller partner. There is also an additional cost for automating the data and running the flows, which makes it even more expensive. It will be very good if they can let users automate the data for free. Other solutions like Tableau provide this feature for free."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier 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."
"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"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."
"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."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"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."
