Mansoor-Mohammed - PeerSpot reviewer
SRE at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Weekly mobile releases have become reliable and pipeline incidents have dropped dramatically
The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point. Mac build machines are considerably more expensive than Linux equivalents. As our team has grown, the monthly bills have scaled accordingly with limited room to optimize without reducing concurrency. The self-hosted runner option was evaluated as a potential cost-saving measure, but the documentation and tooling for it are still less mature than the cloud product. Build debugging remains a log parsing exercise. There is no interactive debugging session or live SSH access into a failing build environment, which would be a meaningful productive improvement. The analytics dashboard is very minimal and basic and lacks the depth that anyone would want for capacity planning and trend analysis.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Bitrise gives us the full development life cycle automation, and it is very good to use."
"With Bitrise, as a team of 10 to 12 people, we are able to independently generate the build and save overall 20 to 40 hours per day."
"Within three months of going live on Bitrise, we moved to weekly releases, and now we have a reliable hotfix pipeline that can ship a production build within 45 minutes to an hour of a fix being merged."
"Bitrise has positively impacted my organization by helping me reduce time by around 50% or more while I am using it for my personal project."
"Bitrise has positively impacted our organization by improving release speed."
"Bitrise has had a significant positive impact on my organization because we do not have any other platform to realize these builds and deploys with mobile apps."
"There are many uses for operations, marketing, and sales."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"Zapier is a powerful tool; it helps us automate social media curation, sales funneling, client onboarding, and qualitative data collection, while improving team productivity, collaboration, transparency, and accountability."
"Webhooks and multi-step zaps are the most valuable features."
"The ability to link Google Sheets to Salesforce is the most valuable feature."
"Thanks to Zapier, I was able to integrate all the appointments into the Salesforce calendar."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Bitrise is sometimes stable, and sometimes I experience problems with Bitrise."
"One improvement Bitrise can have is enhanced debugging tools for analyzing failed builds."
"Bitrise has to work more on the error part. Sometimes I face issues when I trigger a build to generate, and I get a build failed without getting the proper log, which sometimes makes the user too annoyed."
"They need to add some extra documentation for how to use the parameters, such as variables, where to add them, and how to use them below the workflow."
"I think Bitrise could be improved if it was easier to generate Android QA and iOS at the same time."
"The improvement I would suggest for Bitrise is that the cost is significantly the friction point."
"Some colleagues don’t find the chat/email channels that intuitive."
"The pricing could be a little cheaper."
"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."
"Zapier could improve on some Google Sheets features. For example, having the Zaps not break down when one row has been moved, but the header has stayed the same."
"To make it a complete BPM solution, the UI component needs significant enhancement."
"It can be challenging to get timely responses as they typically answer questions after a long period, sometimes taking up to a month to respond."
"Zapier needs to improve in the same way most RPA solutions should, such as Robocorp, Make, or UiPath. They are not good at helping you find the connections that you need for the problem that you have. For example, if need something on Instagram. I'm going to have to do research for hours to be able to find the components or the app, which is going to do what I need it to do. It makes it difficult to use the system when you don't know what to use."
"I think the history of "zaps" could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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 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."
"Zapier's price is good."
"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."
"Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
