Likelihood to Recommend I think it's great for giving any/all users the ability to deploy servers for whatever they want. It's also great for scaling up/down large quantities of servers. It also has some pretty good plugins and "orchestration actions" that you can write for yourself. I don't think it would be best suited if you want to set and forget it. It needs some TLC, and the interface and initial setup [are] not the most user-friendly. So if you're planning on using it for some complex tasks, make sure you have someone dedicated to it, at least for the initial setup. And make sure you have monitoring on it.
Read full review Because of the multitude of options with IFTTT, it is hard to describe the best use scenarios, but I will share how I use the platform at this time. I use IFTTT to check Craigslist for certain IT equipment postings and email me if that occurs, turning items on and off with geo-fencing and WiFi network presence, and linking my calendar to my to-do list
Read full review Pros Create configuration with Microsoft endpoints. Support complex globally distributed multi-domains. Create and remove dynamic OU. Allows for static text in combination with dynamic content. Read full review IFTTT manages a number of social media accounts quite well. Being able to login to one platform with access to all your accounts is great. IFTTT is easy to set up. IFTTT has a number of crowd sourced and created formulas that you can use, or if you're looking for something specific you can create your own. This allows for an endless number of combinations and ways to engage with the program. IFTTT doesn't require constant upkeep. Once you have things setup you can forget about it and it just works.

It would benefit from some search and filter functionalities. Some services lack ingredients. "Ingredients" are attributes passed from one service to another to enhance IFTTT's power. However, some services (like Evernote's notes, for example) currently have too few ingredients available. It is not possible to link more than two services. It would be great, for example, to have an option to take a mail message and post in multiple social networks and blogs with the same applet. Read full review Likelihood to Renew There is no better alternative and although Integromat is new and the GUI is slick, they make you pay per push and IFTTT does not. The rest of the competition make you pay per integration or are just not as seamless in usage or have the depth of catalogue. If you use
Zapier for instance, it is because they have an integration you have to use, not because
Zapier does a better job.
Read full review Usability For the most part, IFTTT is great but it does have its limitations. You may only do one thing at a time. If you want branching logic it can be cumbersome and clunky. This it where something like
Microsoft Flow does better. For simplicity, nothing can beat IFTTT for how easy it is to set up and use right out of the box
Read full review Support Rating I have had a few issues with apps over the years. Compared to other services, ITFFF is the best choice but no service is perfect unless you build it yourself for yourself. ITFFF needs more tutorials on how to create a custom platform, but overall I will recommend it as an easy to use, time-saving service.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We selected SovLabs Microsoft Active Directory because is one of the best automation tools for Active Directory. The tool offers a lot of features that we use. Good support from the vendor and a good community. I strongly recommend SovLabs Microsoft Active Directory for automation. The tools does a great job.
Read full review I haven't used
Zapier extensively, but it seems that IFTTT is much simpler to set up. However,
Zapier appears to be a much deeper integration where you can sync a variety of fields of data and customize the sync more than you can with IFTTT.
Zapier may be more valuable for someone with a complex need and IFTTT is built for simple solutions for more basic apps.
Read full review Return on Investment We have invested countless man hours to troubleshooting and being support's QA. Most of our teams have saved an invaluable amount of time by being able to automate their deployments. After the initial time you spend [understanding] all the nuances, the configuring of groups, permissions, etc., does make administering it easier.

We have been able to reach out to our clients faster because notifications are coming to our attention in more ways than just our inbox. Read full review ScreenShots
