Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that orchestration and development capabilities are easier with the tool."

More AWS Data Pipeline [EOL] Pros →

"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup.""We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature.""The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature.""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.""Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say.""Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices.""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."

More Zapier Pros →

Cons
"It's almost semi-automatic because you must review and approve code push, which works well. Still, we had many problems getting there during the deployment process, but we got there.""The user-defined functions have shortcomings in AWS Data Pipeline."

More AWS Data Pipeline [EOL] Cons →

"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.""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.""I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it.""The pricing of the solution is quite expensive.""Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application""After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The way we use it, I think it is fair as we're getting a good value for money compared to having a server or some other data pipeline."
  • "I rate the pricing between six to eight on a scale from one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
  • More AWS Data Pipeline [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
  • "Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
  • "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."
  • "The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "It's very affordable."
  • "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."

    Overview

    AWS Data Pipeline is a web service that helps you reliably process and move data between different AWS compute and storage services, as well as on-premises data sources, at specified intervals. ... AWS Data Pipeline also allows you to move and process data that was previously locked up in on-premises data silos.

    Zapier is a tool for primarily non-technical users to connect together web apps.

    An integration between two apps is called a Zap. A Zap is made up of a Trigger and one or more Actions or Searches.

    Whenever the trigger happens in one app, Zapier will automatically perform the actions or searches in another app in order.

    Zaps are very lightweight and easy to set up. Zaps do not import or export old data (they only operate on new items created after the Zap is enabled). Zaps are also not kept in sync ("two way syncing") after the Zap is triggered.

    Zaps are deceivingly simple if you're used to dealing with complex and difficult integrations. Their simplicity is what enables anyone to create them.
