Considered Both Products
HubSpot Data Hub
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
Improved analytics, well easier to read and show to team members, and using it to keep track of sales and the status of those sales. The simple grid tracks were easy to use and see where each client was in the sale pipeline.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
We selected HubSpot Operations Hub because we already used HubSpot as a CRM and we heard good feedback from our clients.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
This tool is, in my opinion, the best tool of its kind. Other apps like Zapier and Integromat are great at syncing information between sources but PieSync is the best when it comes to contact information synchronization. If I had to recommend one tool for this specific job, …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
PieSync is much less confusing, and from what I remember, cheaper. But if you need a more robust solution to get more data from system to system, you will need to find something other than PieSync. Zapier can be confusing and complicated to setup. And as you get more and more …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
Zapier has no two-way sync. The only advantage is the amount of external integration, but it is also developing very quickly and quite possibly will catch up.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
We needed a solution for syncing data two ways between software. Zapier only pushes data from one software to another with each zap so it was ultimately not an option for us. PieSync is the only tool I know of that provides two-way data syncs in such an easy and reliable way.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
I have not tried any other system, PieSync was just the right choice for me at first viewing.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
PieSync is much more reliable than Zapier. With Zapier, our "zaps" consistently break and their notification system isn't the best at alerting you in real time.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
One of the top runners up for my sync needs. I needed something that would sync financial data in such a way I could generate thank you auto emails from Salesforce (if I remember correctly, it was some time ago). Also, I think that there were duplicate records created in …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
I haven't used any other products similar to PieSync. PieSync is the first contact sync platform I've used and don't have a need to look elsewhere. It meets the needs for my business and I'm happy with the product. Would highly recommend it to anyone who needs to sync their …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
We haven't evaluated any alternatives that move existing data like PieSync. We have used Zapier, IFTTT, etc. but they are more suited for new information.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
Zapier can be built to achieve similar "syncing" results. But you're bound to lose data since Zapier is an automation software. Not a 2-way syncing software. PieSync is also much easier to set up, especially if you have a lot of custom fields that you like to map.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
PieSync is a continuous, real-time sync. Zapier does a lot of single step automations. They're peers, but behave very differently.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
Zapier is a great product but it only does a 1-way sync. I was most impressed with the 2-way sync capabilities of PieSync and the way in which I could use that to help with compliance with the data regulations in place and coming soon to Europe such as the GDPR.
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
I would say these two differ, both have some strong differentiators. Zapier offers the possibility of custom workflows pushing/retrieving data and parsing it for other actions (where the pricing can get quite high). PieSync wins in terms of keeping data fields in sync, cost …
Chose HubSpot Data Hub
While Zapier seems to have more connections, the 2 way integration through PieSync seemed easier. Additionally, Nimble (our CRM provider) has natively integrated PieSync into their application which gives us a higher level of confidence when it comes to support issues. Also, …
SAP Data Services
Chose SAP Data Services
You cannot afford to run your business on questionable data. With SAP® Data Services software, you can access, transform, and connect data to fuel your critical business processes. Together, these enterprise-class solutions enable data integration and data quality, providing …
Chose SAP Data Services
SAP Data Services offers more connectivity options without external connectors that must be purchased separately. Currently it has become a very robust platform with nothing to envy of its competitors, demonstrating very good results in all implementations. It handles many …
Chose SAP Data Services
SAP Data Services is better at integration with other SAP products and data sources with native HANA connectors. There are also accelerators to consider when looking at it as a data migration tool for SAP implementations.
Chose SAP Data Services
We reviewed DS and decided it was the best option as it provides good integration options with SAP. Only alternate considered were flat-file enrichment and legacy system migration workbench.
Chose SAP Data Services
Sap data services has been the easiest tool to pick up and use productively. The built in repository works very well.

Likelihood to Recommend
Great to use if you have a few marketing systems that need to "talk" to each other and keep each other updated. Perfect for small agencies, companies, or freelancers. I wouldn't recommend using PieSync if you have MANY marketing systems that need to be synched. You'd be better off simplifying the resources you use, then putting PieSync in place

SAP Data Services is a data integration and transformation software application. It allows users to develop and execute workflows that take data from predefined sources called data stores (applications, Web services, flat-files, databases, etc.)

Pros
  • PieSync runs continually so there is little to no disruption and people always have access to the latest contact information for our clients and prospects.
  • PieSync runs efficiently in the background so there is little maintenance or attention that it needs, which is great.
  • PieSync does a great job of letting you decide how you want items to sync across platforms so you can customize to how your organization uses a particular software.

  • Extracting data from various types of data sources
  • Transforming data using joins, functions, look ups, etc.
  • Loading data into different kinds of targets

Cons
  • Price. It can get expensive if you have to sync a lot of contacts. You are charged on each syn, not on the number of contacts.
  • While most major integrations are available, there are still many popular tools that they do not integrate with so check first.
  • More complex rules and multiple syncs require higher priced plans.

Support Rating
Every time that I've had a question, PieSync has been very responsive. It is a reliable company with a great team that is devoted to helping their customers. I've been their customer for 2 years and I've never looked back. Support is an important reason why PieSync is my go-to app for this job.

As other SAP products, there is excellent support by SAP on this tool. You can access the SAP Help portal in order to give support either from the huge community or directly from SAP.

Return on Investment
  • PieSync has saved me a lot of time. It is straightforward to learn and use and therefore the initial set up time is not great, but once set up you can more or less forget that it is there working away in the background.
  • My business is small and was already pretty streamlined with a CRM system etc. PieSync is likely to have a much greater ROI for a business that is less streamlined or is more complex to start with.

  • DS has had a very positive impact by reducing deployment times for SAP and has provided ability to deploy multiple sites at the same time.
  • Ongoing master data creation/migration benefits significantly from DS, and it's easy to stand up a new business unit.
  • Data accuracy improved and manual inspections are minimal.
