Azure Logic Apps vs Zapier

Likelihood to Recommend

Azure Logic Apps are a very powerful platform once you get your head wrapped around what they can really do. It is best not to go into them thinking of it as the total solution. Think of them as small tasks that can be chained together by other Azure Logic Apps or other custom applications to create the whole solution to the problem.

We use Zapier to automatically email relevant team members about events that are specific to their region. This data comes through our billing system and Zapier is able to decipher the region and based on conditions we have set up, forward emails to the relevant staff members.
Zapier can capture webhooks and send these wherever you want. We have set up webhooks for errors in our application. These are immediately forwarded to message tools so our team know about the issue immediately, rather than having to log into our monitoring system.
We have several apps that have similar information and we want to keep them in sync. However, they do not have native integrations with each other. Zapier can take events from one app and post these into the other app.

We have multiple forms on Formsite that we need to connect to SharpSpring. It looks like we're going to have to do some additional work to get it to filter them separately. This just came up, so we are still working on it.
I really have no other complaints. It's been a great, easy solution to what otherwise would be a complex problem. We also used it to send leads from Eventbrite to SharpSpring.

Azure Logic Apps 8.0

Based on 2 answers

Azure Logic Apps is a quite handy tool for your toolbox as it integrates very easily with other MS products. It also has a lot of features that allows it to be easily deployed and updated via JSON and can be torn down and brought back up in different accounts quickly.

Zapier 7.0

Based on 4 answers

Zapier is very user-friendly. They walk you through each step of the zap-building process in an orderly and easy to understand way. Each step of the zap is tested before moving onto the next step. For simple zaps, you can have them up and running within minutes. For more complicated zaps, it may take some experimentation, but Zapier is there to help you troubleshoot.

Azure Logic Apps 7.5

Based on 2 answers

Azure Logic Apps are backed by Azure and Microsoft. There is a wealth of information on the internet about both of these platforms. In addition to this Microsoft has a huge bush to using this platform and have offered many solutions and support options to the user. The only drawback is that it is a fairly new platform so the 3rd party information tends to be lacking.

Zapier 9.1

Based on 11 answers

Before we purchased Zapier, I contacted support and asked them if Zapier could support my intended workflow (this is actually a selection on their support form - awesome). Within 2 hours, I was contacted by a support team member who seemed sure it would work, but granted me premium access for 2 weeks to try it out for myself. Sure enough, it did! Ever since then, support has replied rapidly to any problems I have experienced and answered my questions within a few sentences.

Microsoft Logic Apps is much more enterprise-ready. With our company being more invested in Microsoft, this was a no brainer for us to leverage the tool. Its ease of use and scalability makes it a good choice for an enterprise workload.

Zapier is the biggest name and game in town. I didn't really go shop elsewhere, and once I started using it, there was no going to others for the things that it does. It was simple enough and inexpensive enough that I just don't have a good incentive to try other solutions out there.

It allowed us to make greater exploitation of other paid tools and integrate services that our users didn't use as much.
Now we have many processes linked together in a way that eliminates daily repetitive and tedious tasks that our personnel had to carry out on a daily basis. This gives them more time to focus on more important endevours.
It's given us the capability to expand our services to a wider array of users and handle more activity without the need to necessarily increase the number of people in our department.
