Featured Reviews

Robert Heck - PeerSpot reviewer
Co Owner at Hecht und Heck GmbH
The solution is stable, scalable, and flexible
I rate the solution eight out of ten. The number of people required to maintain the solution is dependent on the other applications running. The solution in itself does not require a lot of maintenance. The solution is flexible and I recommend it when you have more complex applications with special requirements.

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.

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 aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."
"One issue I experienced was that when Zapier did not automate or threw an error, the error was not user-friendly."
"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
"The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."
"Zapier's price is good."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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."
"It's very affordable."
"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
"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 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."
