Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
Tungsten RPA is scalable, flexible, and adaptable, but requires skilled deployment and faces challenges like licensing and upgrades.
Sentiment score
7.4
Zapier is adaptable for small to mid-size businesses, but scaling can be costly and less suitable for complex automations.
Make.com and nEn nEight n excel in handling complex automation tasks.
Automation Engineer at Axe Automation
Scaling it gets quite expensive, and while I cannot evaluate it purely from a technology perspective, compared to Workato, I would give Zapier a seven for scalability.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Tungsten RPA is stable and reliable, though some find it complex with legacy apps; it scores 7-9/10 for stability.
Sentiment score
6.7
Most users find Zapier reliable, despite occasional connectivity issues and challenges with integration changes affecting performance.
In my current company, we had significant challenges with Zapier regarding maintenance, as Zaps were often broken, not necessarily due to Zapier, but due to changes in the input variables.

Room For Improvement

Tungsten RPA needs interface improvements, better scalability, AI features, enhanced integration, and support for complex processes and legacy systems.
Zapier needs better Google Sheets features, API support, UI improvements, enhanced logic functions, documentation, and integration capabilities.
The error message options in the dashboard should be improved. It should be user-friendly so that beginners or non-technical users can figure out the problems and solutions on their own.
Webflow Developer at Qureos
Compared to Make.com and other tools that have a drag-and-drop system, this is lacking.
Automation Engineer at Axe Automation
While Zapier already has more than 2,000 webhooks, users or developers should have the flexibility to create additional custom connectors.

Setup Cost

Tungsten RPA offers flexible subscription pricing with unlimited workflows, varying costs by project needs, and requires upfront payments.
Zapier's pricing ranges from free to $800, depending on usage, with mixed opinions on cost versus time-saving benefits.
The pricing is in accordance with market standards and even lower in some cases.
Chief Technology Advocate at PURESOFT GLOBAL LLC
The pricing of Zapier is slightly higher compared to other market automation tools such as Pabbly, Make.com, and N8N, which have good features but are priced lower than Zapier.

Valuable Features

Tungsten RPA offers seamless integration, robust automation, and ease of use with advanced tools for document and process management.
Zapier seamlessly connects apps for task automation, offering intuitive interfaces with advanced features like webhooks and multi-step zaps.
The automation capabilities are impressive.
Business Intelligence Developer at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Integrations are better in Zapier because it has more advanced features.
Automations and CRM developer at LodhranGPT.com
I actually used most of the automation features. When a user submits a form, I get the details or leads of that form and put them on other third-party tools, such as Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, or send a lead to Slack.

Featured Reviews

Jamil Milhem - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager-Senior RPA Specialist at DEWA
Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection
I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

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.
