Innovative, works well with GraphQL, and can connect to any type of data source
It has the ability to connect to virtually any type of data source, whether it's a database, an API, or an old-school XML-based data source. Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature. I believe it is adequate, and I would say that it is a very innovative solution.
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

"Support for multiple data sources and formats is a fantastic feature."
"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 connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
 

Cons

"Moving to other clouds is impossible without significantly rearchitecting your applications."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis, and it is a pay-as-you-go model."
"There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
"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."
"It's very affordable."
"Zapier's price is good."
"Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
"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."
"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
