Bardeen vs. Integrately

Integrately boasts a long list of products that it works with, but I feel that the actual implementation is clunky hit-or-miss. In my experience, the UI to create automations is miserably terrible. It shows way too many fields and is constantly resetting collapsed steps, so there is an absolutely dreadful amount of scrolling and searching involved. The order of fields often seems extremely random, which further makes the process for me extremely painful. There seem to be relatively few products that they truly integrate with, and most rely on JSON publishing. Testing is very difficult in my experience as it would only look for the most recent JSON data. It is not possible to test the automations with historical data. The actual success rate of automations is extremely spotty and it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot given the terrible UI. Split workflows (if/then) are very, very clunky. I wasted a huge amount of time manually replicating automations for various gateways.

• Marketing Automation
• Enroll learners in a course
• Send Instant Order Confirmation Email, SMS and Whatsapp Message
• Connect Google Sheet with other apps

• Their workflow builder is almost impossible to use.
• Troubleshooting errors is difficult unless you are a programmer.
• User unfriendly for non-techies.
• Relies heavily on JSON publishing for many tools rather than native integration.

Integrately is super easy to use, there isn’t a huge learning curve to using it, and their live chat support is also great, so Integrately is better than most.

• I wasted a huge amount of time building workflows that I ultimately walked away from because they did not reliably work.
• They are more affordable than Zapier but in this case, you definitely get what you pay for.
