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

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."
"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."
"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."
"On a personal level, I used Zapier to automate otherwise tedious and manual tasks."
"Improved communication and efficiency through interconnection of instant messaging, email, CRM, ERP and ticket management systems is the main output of using Zapier at Glispa."
"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."
"Automatic connections between CRM and the email system is the most valuable feature."
"I utilized Zapier's feature of connecting over 2000 apps for various automations in my business processes."
"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."
"Technical support is fantastic; top notch."
 

Cons

"Needs easier automated failure recovery, more and more intuitive auto-generated or filled-in code for components, and easier or more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"In our case, very limited actions and limited objects are supported."
"I think the history of "zaps" could be improved."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"One issue I experienced was that when Zapier did not automate or threw an error, the error was not user-friendly."
"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."
"If the scenario or automation is complex, it becomes difficult to create and deploy because of various routes. For example, with 20 routes, it becomes really difficult to create them due to certain limits, and the UI is not conducive for viewing all the routes."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"The error reporting UI and organizing Zaps could be improved."

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