Divya Prakash - PeerSpot reviewer
An integration tool that is highly compatible and easy to maintain
Dealing with the large file sizes has occasionally been a challenge, though we have found workarounds. But dealing with large file sizes could be easy in integrations. I have also come across schema files where headers, footers, and bodies are there, but it's not a valid schema. None of the MSCAs are defined properly. In such cases, we have to think of multiple workarounds, such as splitting or merging. But this is a standard requirement for organizations, so custom solutions should be provided. There are cases when the systems don't expect additional MSCAs, or they expect headers, footers, or tags with different values. But this is not a proper XML. So if we are dealing with XML conversions, mapping, and integrations, we have to do some custom work. These are solutions that Oracle can provide.
FrankHo - PeerSpot reviewer
Though the tool offers a visually appealing UI, it needs to improve its documentation
With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation. The product has many bugs, so users have to wait for a period ranging from five minutes to an hour to see where the Zap went. In Zapier, Zaps aren't very understandable owing to the way they work. As a user, you would think that in Zapier, a Zap works in a particular way once you set it up, but it won't happen. At times, some Zaps can interfere with each other, because of which there might be infinite loops that may occur, owing to which multiple Zaps continue to run or break down in general, after which nothing would run in your environment. You would not be notified about the breakdown of Zaps. The bugs in the product may be considered to understand or get an explanation of how Zaps works between software systems, so for something between Gmail and HubSpot, Zapier would explain through better documentation what would work and what wouldn't work. Maybe if Zapier had better functionality with Python or any other coding language in general, it would make the product a lot better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Integration Cloud Service is easy to use."
"The most important part would be the use of connectors. The significant number of cloud connectors available for active integration is its value."
"We mainly use the solution's ICS component."
"The dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive."
"The out-of-box integration between Oracle and SAP is really beneficial"
"The initial setup of Oracle Integration Cloud Service was easy."
"I particularly like the drag-and-drop feature for designing integrations and processes."
"In our customers' organizations, Oracle Integration Cloud Service mainly integrates their other applications with the Oracle Fusion stack. It's very handy in scenarios where they want to seamlessly maintain data flow between applications, with business tools and logic validations in place."
"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."
"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."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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 solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"The ability to connect web applications to trigger actions in another app after having enriched, formatted, delayed, grouped, and filtered is really valuable for many businesses."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive."
"The solution's customer service could be better."
"With JSON, if the tool provides support similar to XML, then it would be helpful."
"It would be helpful if there were more tutorials or documentation to learn about Oracle Integration Cloud Service."
"Configurable timeouts on each connection would be good."
"While most of the adapters are available through Oracle Integration Cloud Services, they do not have a lot of features. I would like to see some enrichment in this area and for the solution to go deeper into the applications and upgrade the adapters."
"Now the platform is not built in a way that you can define."
"In terms of the area of improvement in the product, I would say that the way we design the services is very limited."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"The pricing could be a little cheaper."
"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"
"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."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is less expensive than other products."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
"The price is fair."
"The price is cheaper than all other cloud integration providers."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"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 price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
"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."
"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."
"Zapier's price is good."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
