Senior Operations Analyst at a computer software company with 201-500 employees

Provides users with an initial setup phase, which is fairly simple to manage

I don't know what could be improved in terms of what my company was used to previously or after moving over to Rivery. I have not had much experience with platforms other than Rivery. For me, Rivalry was a way to step up from what we used. To be honest, I am not really sure what improvements could be made in Rivery. Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better. I am not aware if there are additional packages for smaller organizations, but if there are no packages available, then maybe that would be a good way to introduce something new in the tool.

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 solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."

"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."

"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."

"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier."

"The initial setup is pretty easy to do."

"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable 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."

"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."

"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."

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

Cons

"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."

"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."

"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"

"Zapier is user-friendly, but when we have an application version that we want to connect with Zapier, sometimes it does not support us."

"It could support various languages along with Python."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."

"Zapier's price is good."

"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."

"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."

"It's very affordable."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"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."

Overview

Rivery is a serverless, SaaS DataOps platform that empowers companies of all sizes around the world to consolidate, orchestrate, and manage internal and external data sources with ease and efficiency.

By offering comprehensive data solutions and partnering with complementary technology providers, including Google, Snowflake, Tableau, and Looker, Rivery enables data-driven companies to build the perfect ecosystems for all their data processes.

Rivery

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.
