Automate.io vs. Zoho Flow

• That scenario where you want your tools interact each other, Automate.io is the best option.
• But even when you need to automate some functions and your tool doesnt give you the option to do it, Automate.io will help you with that.
• It have way more functionalities that im sure u will be happy to explore.

Zoho Flow helps us greatly in connecting other Zoho apps. We use Flow to connect Zoho Creator with Zoho Books so an invoice is created when a record is entered into Zoho Creator. We use Zoho Flow when certain fields containing data in Zoho CRM to send that data over to the Zoho Creator record. We use it to add a contact from the Zoho Creator record to a list in Zoho Campaigns. Zoho Flow has proved very worthwhile.

• Automatically populates information into other applications.
• Saves tedious work & time checking on information.
• Set it up once and it runs as needed.

• Works with all other Zoho apps to connect them together and share data
• User interface and dashboard are nice. Gives you a detailed look into flow history and/or audit of your flows
• The ability to set logic responses and incorporate custom functions makes the app even more powerful

Incentivized

• Speed. Screens sometimes take a long time to load, and data lists occasionally load very slowly or not at all, requiring a refresh.

• A deeper resources section, with more "how-to" videos
• More user functionality to tell you when an app fails, and not just after failing 3 or 5 times in a row.
• Maybe add some scenario flows connecting two apps with examples of how the flow works and benefits a user.

Excellent tool, offering excellent ROI.

It is brilliantly superb.

Jay from Automate.io has been very helpful in fixing a problem (my fault - I forgot to read the guide), but he did so in a way that he clearly understood my automation objectives and could provide relevant and handy guidance.

I've reached out to the support team several times with assistance requests in Zoho Flow. Each time the team has answered my questions promptly and accurately. And because we are mainly integrating other Zoho apps their teams are perfectly positioned to solve our problems.

Make sure the person managing it knows APIs and Databases, so they can 'understand' what Automate does and offers. Without such conceptual understanding, Automate is too geeky. WITH such conceptual understanding, Automate is a Church Picnic easy.

• Automate.io is way more friendly and easy to use
• Zapier is more expensive
• Way too many errors
• Zapier Api interaction is not the best

I've used Zapier and both programs are similar. Zapier has deeper integrations or more apps to integrate with but considering Flow's association with other Zoho apps this does it for us!

• Integration helps numerous departments who are now able to see the data ROI: priceless.
• Dozens of hours saved each month in following up and tracking results ROI: thousands/yr.

• It's part of our Zoho One package, so it's hard to comment on this one.
• Assuming we did pay full price, I would say the ROI would be justified. For our example of sending invoices to Books from Creator saves us a great deal of time.
• It takes a bit of time to configure each Flow but once you get the hang of it the flows really do save time and ensure data quality.
