Likelihood to Recommend 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.
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 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! 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. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review The website section "Activity" tends to get very crowded over time. 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 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 I used it with a couple of systems that I was not expecting to be smooth sailing and it just worked without any issues.
Read full review 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 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.
Read full review 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 Implementation Rating Just try it for your own social media platforms. Then imagine how much money it can save/make.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
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 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. Read full review We have not had to purchase a subscription to a social media automation tool. We have saved time sharing information between systems. 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 HubSpot Operations Hub Screenshots
