Robert Heck

Co Owner at Hecht und Heck GmbH

The solution is stable, scalable, and flexible

I rate the solution eight out of ten. The number of people required to maintain the solution is dependent on the other applications running. The solution in itself does not require a lot of maintenance. The solution is flexible and I recommend it when you have more complex applications with special requirements.

Automation Engineer at Axe Automation

Automation of simple tasks improves with user-friendly interface but needs enhancement in handling complex scenarios

In my opinion, what could be improved in Zapier is its UI, which operates as a one-line system. Compared to Make.com and other tools that have a drag-and-drop system, this is lacking. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."

"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."

"The main thing I appreciate about Zapier is that it has maximum availability of apps, with most tools being available compared to different solutions."

"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."

"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."

"The initial setup is pretty easy to do."

"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."

"Zapier is the tool with the most connectors and has been quite forward in that case."

"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."

"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."

More Zapier pros

Cons

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."

"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."

"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."

"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."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."

"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."

"It could support various languages along with Python."

"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."

"We currently switch from Zapier because it was so expensive. My experience shows that for our use cases, other tools are cheaper."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."

"The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."

"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 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."

"Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"It's very affordable."

"Zapier's price is good."

"There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."

SAS/Access

Overview

SAS/ACCESS is an out-of-the-box solution for integrating SAS and third-party databases. You can read, write and update data regardless of the database or platform. Because the data appears native to SAS, there is no need to learn Structured Query Language (SQL) or any other database-specific query languages.

SAS

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.
