    Zapier is good - PieSync is better for two way sync
    Incentivized
    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 …

    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.
    Incentivized
    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
    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.

    It is the only one I can think about, however, as far as I know, Zapier doesn't have two-way sync.

    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.
    Incentivized
    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.
    Incentivized
    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 …

    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, …

    PieSync is another great bridge between systems, however, Piesynce offers 2-way sync and Zapier only allows you to push data or pull data in one direction at a time. There are times when Zaps are the best way to go and other times you need to keep data in sync.

    Zapier is much more versatile as it allows you to have a lot more triggers, whereas PieSync, in our use, only allows you to sync contacts back and forth between software.

    Zapier is more robust than the other options - PieSync is more of a database normalization application; IFTTT seems to be more focused towards individual use.

    I use both PieSync and Zapier. They are very complimentary, although you have to be careful about making sure they don't conflict with each other. I like that Zapier does have a free version, whereas PieSync only has a free trial. Zapier is particularly useful in moving data …

    • IFTTT just doesn't have enough power to be useful for us. It doesn't connect to tools we want to use and doesn't provide the kinds of triggers and actions we need.

    Better range of integrations. Easier workflow building.
    More B2B focus than IFTTT and faster time from trigger to action.

    PieSync is historical real-time 2-way syncing. It doesn't get any better than that. However, Zapier has way more connectors, so there is a place for both. Workato looked robust, but was really lacking on triggers and actions, and it cost more than Zapier and PieSync combined. …

    In cases of brands that have been in the market for a long time but do not see any impact from new clients or consumers, HubSpot is ideal since it allows to keep the brand fresh in the mind of the audience. HubSpot additionally provides insight into what we're doing and allowed us to align the sales team with company goals. It also ensures that you receive updates from your computer. We can handle all programming requests that come into our team. One thing that HubSpot can improve on is not having a good centralized dashboard that allows for a full view of ALL data coming in. You can go to each piece, but not having them all attached to the board adds a bit of a challenge. It's not very complex to handle, but it would be easier to use if it had that feature.

    If you have processes that are now managed and controlled using a spreadsheet, Zapier will give you a lot more control over what is happening and will help you increase productivity by eliminating simple steps such as sending emails and sharing information with your colleagues. It frees time for very transactional activities.

    Pros
    HubSpot
    • Easy to figure out. Once you login, it's incredibly easy to figure out what to do, thanks to their simple UIX.
    • Easy integrations with many partners. PieSync offers easy integrations with many partners. Integrating is as easy as clicking, filling in your login information and clicking again!
    • Allowing multiple integrations. I'm glad PieSync allows multiple integrations so you aren't limited with how you integrate your different systems with contact information. Very helpful!

    • Ease of use - multiple people in the organization can set up and run Zaps per their specific use cases without much training.
    • Connectivity - Zapier is able to connect to multiple applications we use on a regular basis.
    • Functionality - Zapier provides embedded functionality within the app itself (email, data conversion), but also appropriate triggers and actions for apps it connects to.
    • Versatile - Zapier can execute complicated and simple tasks and thus has many use cases.

    Cons
    HubSpot
    • The biggest issue we have had with PieSync is the lack of detail within syncing. Sometimes when there is an issue with a Sync it is hard to determine what went wrong. Even though most of the time it's user error, it's hard to diagnose issues with the current PieSync set-up.
    • The pricing of PieSync is a little odd and I think should be based on something other than number of contacts you're syncing.

    The interface is very user-friendly, and there are also many tools to help a brand-new user get started. For example, you can put your Zap idea into the AI bot, and it will basically build a shell of your Zap to get started on. The format for each step within a Zap is also very helpful (set up the connection/app, set up the fields/details, then test).

    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.

    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.

    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 into the weeds with Zapier, you start realizing that you need to upgrade from plan to plan as you add these more complicated steps.

    We actually utilize both Integromat and Zapier at our company, for all the reasons detailed in this review. Though Zapier is excellent for simple client integrations, we often run into internal use cases that require complexity that Zapier cannot provide. Specifically working with API calls (not just webhooks), complex multi-step integrations with Routing/parsing/etc, and large volume integrations. Integromat is perfect for these use cases, but doesn’t provide the simplicity and account scalability that Zapier offers.

    • PieSync saves our team countless hours of repetitive data input by syncing the data automatically.
    • PieSync has allowed us to use additional specialized marketing software and still be able to keep our contact data synced to our CRM.
    • ROI is positive as the cost has far outweighed the time savings of inputting data and reducing mistakes with client data.
