We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect, Informatica Cloud Data Integration, and Zapier based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), MuleSoft, Matillion and others in Cloud Data Integration."I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"Technical support is good."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"It has all the advantages of the Cloud in that you can use it without worrying about infrastructure, upkeep, or upgrades."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"The solution's initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"The solution is straightforward."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"Zapier is a really good tool for connecting multiple different platforms and data sources. For example, with Quickbase, I can easily integrate data from other sources like AWS or task-tracking platforms such as ClickUp or Asana."
"Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments."
"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."
"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."
"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 user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"The interface could be better."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"Updates are constantly delayed."
"One more important point is that if IBM improves its CI/CD capabilities, it will make a big difference. Right now, I have to create my own CI/CD setup from scratch for every client, which is inefficient."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"One area where Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve is in providing more accelerators for certain functionalities."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"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."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"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 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."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"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."
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
