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

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

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

"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."

"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."

"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."

"The initial setup is pretty easy to do."

"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 ability to connect web applications to trigger actions in another app after having enriched, formatted, delayed, grouped, and filtered is really valuable for many businesses."

"I recommend Zapier because there is demand and it is easy to use."

Cons

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

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

"The pricing could be a little cheaper."

"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."

"Zapier needs to improve in the same way most RPA solutions should, such as Robocorp, Make, or UiPath. They are not good at helping you find the connections that you need for the problem that you have. For example, if need something on Instagram. I'm going to have to do research for hours to be able to find the components or the app, which is going to do what I need it to do. It makes it difficult to use the system when you don't know what to use."

"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."

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

"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."

"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."

"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

"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."

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

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

"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 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."

"Zapier's price is good."

"The product is reasonably priced."

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

"It's very affordable."

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.
