    For a mid size company it is a perfect tool like IT application companies but if companies having large Data like Banks it is less appropriate

    For small—to medium-sized connections between different applications, Zoho Flow is quick and easy to set up and test. However, as a Flow becomes more complicated with multiple connections and decisions, it becomes more difficult to track errors and faults and manage changes. Some of this is due to the history not being detailed enough, and some is just the UI, where you can't zoom in and out and clearly see connecting lines for flows.

    Zoho
    • 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

    Cons
    Devart
    • It has room for improvement in terms of security and making it possible for large organizations like us to use it in a more secure way with integrating with our in-house security systems.
    • Pricing could be reduced further for it to be adopted world-wide.
    • it isn't foolproof. Excel has no means of checking for human error during data entry, which means that the wrong information can skew all the results - sometimes severe.
    • Users unfamiliar with Excel syntax may also find entering calculations and calling up other functions a bit frustrating until they get a solid understanding.

    • Some history is missing, and not all error reporting is comprehensive enough on more complex functions.
    • The ability to run tests on custom functions exists in other apps like CRM.
    • Ability to create custom connections for OAuth like in the CRM application.

    Usability
    Devart
    It automated the whole reporting and excel. Our team can generate pivot, dashboards and multiple other reports in various formats and update them with one click. My Sales team need to update more then 1500 leads status on daily basis. By using this tool now they can do this in few minutes.

    Flow can accomplish almost anything you want to do. It's imperfect, but it could be with just a few more features and better error management/visibility. For someone who's not a developer, this is a no-brainer. Having used other products in the past, like Zapier, this is as easy to use, if not even easier.

    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.

    Microsoft Excel is the most used tool in the software universe. As such, asking Microsoft Excel to be the tool used post data acquisition makes a ton of sense. Almost everyone we hire has some idea on how to use this tool, which decreases the time spend training new employees.

    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!

    Return on Investment
    Devart
    • It had a positive ROI as we used it on its strengths. We could save time and make some of our processes simpler.
    • It does help us up to a certain limit - but it acts as a part of our general IT infrastructure. It cannot solve our direct business objectives.
    • It cannot be expanded in all directions as we need a lot more native coding and IT infrastructure.

    • Quick and Easy to set up without the need for a Developer.
    • Visibility into the history of flows and the ability to rerun is a big time saver.
