Efficient data integration and good automation with challenging configurability
The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met. The application also lacks capabilities within its terminal commands that are not available in their GUI. It requires a lot of configurability, which could be streamlined for an enterprise application user.

Diverse integration options support workflow automation while pricing and support need improvements
You can build similar or dependent automations in one Zap, which helps with understanding the process without switching between different records. I would appreciate quicker response times and more direct interactions. It would be great to have a direct contact person for support, but bigger companies usually have solution partners handling support. I do not have a solution partner for Zapier due to using it for small use cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."
"The ingestion engines were pretty good."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
"I recommend Zapier because there is demand and it is easy to use."
"I utilized Zapier's feature of connecting over 2000 apps for various automations in my business processes."
"The main thing I appreciate about Zapier is that it has maximum availability of apps, with most tools being available compared to different solutions."
"The product's most valuable feature is automation."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
 

Cons

"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."
"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."
"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."
"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."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"There could be improvements in creating more complex workflows within the data domain."
"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."
"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."
"It can be challenging to get timely responses as they typically answer questions after a long period, sometimes taking up to a month to respond."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Zapier's price is good."
