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 Zoho Flow helps us greatly in connecting other Zoho apps. We use Flow to connect
Zoho Creator with
Zoho Books so an invoice is created when a record is entered into
Zoho Creator . We use Zoho Flow when certain fields containing data in Zoho CRM to send that data over to the
Zoho Creator record. We use it to add a contact from the
Zoho Creator record to a list in
Zoho Campaigns . Zoho Flow has proved very worthwhile.
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 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 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 A deeper resources section, with more "how-to" videos More user functionality to tell you when an app fails, and not just after failing 3 or 5 times in a row. Maybe add some scenario flows connecting two apps with examples of how the flow works and benefits a user. Read full review Likelihood to Renew The tool is very "set it and forget it" and reliable!

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'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.
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'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!
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 It's part of our Zoho One package, so it's hard to comment on this one. Assuming we did pay full price, I would say the ROI would be justified. For our example of sending invoices to Books from Creator saves us a great deal of time. It takes a bit of time to configure each Flow but once you get the hang of it the flows really do save time and ensure data quality. Read full review ScreenShots HubSpot Operations Hub Screenshots
