    Zapier is always trying to feed me information I don't want, whereas IFTTT has a clean, easy to use website.

    I initially was using Zapier for some of my simple integrations but started using IFTTT for some of our project work as it allowed me to do logical connections between applications. While it's great in some areas, it can be improved upon to allow for more deep configurations.

    As IFTTT, Zapier also helps users to connect apps and services, but it seems more directed to the corporative world. While IFTTT provides support for home devices (as lighting and security systems) and voice assistants (Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant, and Siri), Zapier …

    IFTTT has worked better for us than Hootsuite because we utilize it spur of the moment and only have to post to one platform. Once that post is done IFTTT does the rest and we're good to go. Using the native social media apps and software has allowed us to schedule posts in a …

    Compared to Buffer, IFTTT has a far greater reach and scope, across numerous Social and off-site platforms. If you work in SEO, Content, or marketing in general, marrying IFTTT with Buffer will provide functionality you otherwise pay for.

    In my mind, the only real competitor to IFTTT is Zapier. Zapier is great because of the amount of SaaS tools that it has, but Zapier fails in the ease of use category. Zapier's website is slow, and the integrations can be confusing to set up. IFTTT is simple, easy to use.

    Truthfully I use both of these products. IFTTT is a very robust app but it does not get any where near as robust as Zapier. But although Zapier is more robust, for simpler tasks IFTTT is not only easier to set up, but gets the job done just as well. And now that IFTTT is …

    IFTTT is great for personal, home-life use, as it targets social media, personal email preferences, and home-automation devices. Zapier is much more business-oriented and does not provide integrations with Amazon Alexa or WeMo home devices.

    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

    Pros
    IFTTT
    • 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.

    Cons
    IFTTT
    • 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.

    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.

    Usability
    IFTTT
    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

    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.

    • 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.
