It's a powerful tool that can read and load most data sources."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"It allows us to migrate from one system to another, from one server to another, with no downtime, no outage. We can get the data synchronized with multiple databases and then switch the connectivity across to the new servers."
"The solution's existing SaaS platform for data integration gives us an edge."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"The solution is useful for data transformation."
"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."
"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 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."
"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'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."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"GoldenGate is expensive. It's costly because this solution is unique in our market. The GoldenGate Cloud Service is cheaper than the on-premise solution."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"The solution, in general, should be easier to use, with less need to perform workarounds within the system."
"The GoldenGate license is very costly."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"Lacks the ability to become a full-scale ETL tool."
"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."
"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."
"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."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"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."
