Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The prebuilt connectors have saved our customers a lot of time and money.""The advantage of using MuleSoft as part as the Salesforce ecosystem is that anything new they build is guaranteed to work with the new features that are coming from the other side.""The product is easy to use. You don't need programming skills to use it."

"With the previous CRM we were using – the Google Ads landing pages we had – we were collecting leads manually. That process was not efficient and took a sales team a lot of time to insert these leads manually. Currently, the process is smooth and we use Zapier to collect the leads for us.""Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say.""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.""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.""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 product's most valuable feature is automation.""We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature.""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
"The technical support team's response time must be improved.""This solution could be improved by offering more integrations with other platforms.""MuleSoft Composer needs to improve its interface and scalability."

More MuleSoft Composer Cons →

"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation.""The pricing of the solution is quite expensive.""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.""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.""My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Salesforce is licensed by user and by products and so pricing depending on what your requirements are."
  • "MuleSoft Composer is affordable, and I rate its pricing a five to six out of ten."
  • "The tool is a bit expensive."
  • More MuleSoft Composer 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."

      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.
