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.

A tool for automation purposes requiring an easy initial setup while offering a very helpful technical support team

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. So, it's not about the automation process but the triggers that trigger an automation to start running. Sometimes if you set up an automation trigger on a specific application, we wouldn't know if Zapier received data to start running. So we cannot understand whether the problem is in Zapier or the steps before. Branching scenarios is something I want to add to the solution to make my life easier. We want to apply a logical workflow with a yes or no condition. On Zapier, you can have a condition, but you can build the actions after one value on this condition. So, the question can be responded to with a yes-no option or not answered. In your scenario, you have only the actions after yes get chosen. A second scenario is needed for the answer, no, and a third one for not answered. While in Make, we create a diagram, according to which if the response is yes, then do follow this path, and if it's no, then follow another path.

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 features of Oracle Integration Cloud Service are the seeded integrations with many communication platforms, such as Slack and emails. It works best for the historical communication methods. Those are still prevalent with all the other clients. When we are doing the integrations, it makes it a little bit easier for us to communicate the same output over Slack, rather than sending out an email and downloading the report. The number of seeded functionalities within the Oracle Integration Cloud Service platform is better."

"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."

"Provides various ways to secure services as well as providing extensive support."

"It's easy to build an integration and make changes to it."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its ease of use. We do not depend on any tool to develop it. Everything is on the browser and is easy to integrate, even for someone who does not understand a lot about coding."

"The product's initial setup phase is simple."

"OIC offers a number of pre-built technology and SaaS adapters for high productivity for a wide range of target systems, both in-house via agents and cloud/SaaS, via a very flexible range of interfaces."

"I particularly like the drag-and-drop feature for designing integrations and processes."

More Oracle Integration Cloud Service pros

"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."

"Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments."

"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."

"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 most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."

"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."

"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."

"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."

More Zapier pros

Cons

"They need to make tools framework available for implementation partners"

"Sometimes, the tech support is slow to get back to us. We have had to wait up to two weeks for a response."

"Oracle Integration Cloud Service can improve the downloading and uploading of files. I've submitted this issue to the Oracle Idea Labs. The issue is from the front end of Oracle Integration Cloud, we cannot download or upload a file directly or drag and drop it."

"There is a payload size limit and we're unable to integrate some legacy applications."

"Our client was quite concerned about the cost, which is something that could be reduced."

"The solution should improve its support."

"The error retrying mechanism could be improved. If an error occurs, it can be retried automatically, it would be helpful."

"We would love to have more and more ready-to-use interfaces from Oracle."

More Oracle Integration Cloud Service cons

"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."

"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."

"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."

"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."

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

"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."

"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."

"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."

More Zapier cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."

"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."

"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."

"The solution is less expensive than other products."

"The price is fair."

"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is good. It is reasonable and is priced well for the market segment. The model they use is on a per-package unit and we have a two-year subscription."

"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."

"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."

More Oracle Integration Cloud Service pricing and cost advice

"It's very affordable."

"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."

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

"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."

"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 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."

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

"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."

Reviews from Real Users

Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it has good adapters, is user friendly, and produces a solid ROI.

Rishabh S., Business and Technology Delivery Associate Manager at Accenture, says, “It has good performance, easy integration, is user-friendly, and also has helpful technical support. The dashboard provided by Oracle Integration Cloud for monitoring and error handling is very intuitive. You do not need a third-party dashboard or logging framework when you initiate the integration. There are a lot of adapters, which is what I like the most.”

“The most valuable features of this solution are the SFTP adapters, file adapters, and risk adapters, that we use in everyday projects,” says PeerSpot user Arun N., Technical Manager at a financial services firm.

Kanhaiya C., Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy, explains, "Oracle Integration Cloud Service is a really good product and the ROI is very good with it. It lowers development time. A development cycle that may have taken a year without Oracle Integration Cloud Service can drop down to three or four months with it."

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.
