Accurate data and reliable
CData Connect is used to extract data from our own Facebook ads campaigns The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data. The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved. I have been using CData Connect for approximately three months.…

Modular automations have streamlined onboarding and now orchestrate delayed multi-day workflows
Zapier offers the best features through the capability to make our own webhooks and the delay functionalities, which stand out in Zapier.The delay functionality and custom webhooks are valuable for our organization because of how we deal with things at our organization by creating things in a very modular way. We will have different modules talking to each other for a specific complex workflow. A webhook is what helps solve most of it because we can create all the different modules as a separate workflow in Zapier with their own custom webhook URL and then call them or chain them together to create a complex workflow solving a bigger use case problem. Secondly, the delays, with having a bigger delay in number of days, gives the automation a bigger window to run in, which is not the case with make.com or any other platform that we use for automation. The delays on other platforms are mostly within the range of one to five minutes because the scenario needs to run on that particular go. With Zapier, the scenario can span over multiple days and it does not take up running memory. Rather than that, it goes to sleep and runs back again after the designated time. With Zapier, I am able to handle workflows much faster. I have been able to reduce the effort the manual onboarding team and the operations team had to do in terms of employee onboarding. We have reduced the workflow time and made things more efficient and smoother and avoided any repetitive tasks in the day-to-day workflow of a team member. There is a significant reduction in manual work and team members save time by eliminating multiple workflows which are repetitive in nature that the automation team builds for them using Zapier.

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 feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"I utilized Zapier's feature of connecting over 2000 apps for various automations in my business processes."
"Requeue is a time saver."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"I think it’s brilliant because the webhook feature allows you to basically send information from any application and connect to all the most common applications on the market."
"The product's most valuable feature is automation."
"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."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"The initial setup is pretty easy to do."
 

Cons

"There is a limitation in the amount of data that can be imported. This should be increased."
"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."
"The Google Analytics integrations (especially the Facebook Lead Forms to Google Analytics) HubSpot, that leads to Android phone integration"
"The cost of the solution is high. It's a bit costly as compared to Tableau or other solutions that are available in the market."
"We did have stability issues, at one point every week. This was 3 years ago."
"Some apps are not available yet. For instance, a connection with Joomla! would be great. In general, all the most-used apps are available, but I bumped into Joomla! with a client."
"There could be improvements in creating more complex workflows within the data domain."
"Zapier is good for small businesses, but it’s not reliable enough for large enterprise businesses where you need to automate business critical services."
"My biggest concern with Zapier would be their pricing strategy."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
"It's very affordable."
