Likelihood to Recommend For all type of integration except those with a huge volume. It can deal with 20MB of transactions and processing of 1GB file when a file is being read using file or FTP adapters. It cannot be used for EDI as this support is not there. OICS is a perfect fit for other integration and is best when a customer has Oracle applications in the landscape. It is even greater if you have a requirement to create a custom form and make use of Process Cloud. All of these work very well together seamlessly. API needs can be handled by APIary.
Read full review Zapier is perfect for simple integrations and setting up generally low-volume accounts that require very little configuration and maintenance. For a distributed structure where a client/outside party is responsible for billing, it’s easy to create an account, put them on a low-cost plan, configure a simple integration and teach them how to alter the setup. Its webhook-based setup is perfect for many simple use cases and there’s no reason to use a more complex or expensive solution.
However, if you have integrations that are increasingly complex (involve parsing, multiple non-linear steps, the integration of non-native APIs), significant in overall volume/data or require additional features (time delays for API limits), Zapier likely isn’t your best choice. Other integration platforms offer higher levels of customization and capability, though they’re typically significantly more complex and expensive.
Read full review Pros Auto-association of Oracle applications prepopulates the application connector select box and preconfigures Oracle Integration (OIC) using secure credential access for faster integration. Various other system connectors are available to use readily. User-intuitive experience--Connectors, integrators, and dashboard can be seen on one page. Read full review 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. Read full review Cons Currently, it is not retaining the logs for more than 3 days, which it needs to address. We also need some functionality inside the interface to re-push the same transaction again so that it will be helpful while testing and fixing the issue. Also, some log errors are not giving the correct details. Oracle needs to rectify those.

Read full review Usability Zapier is very user-friendly. They walk you through each step of the zap-building process in an orderly and easy to understand way. Each step of the zap is tested before moving onto the next step. For simple zaps, you can have them up and running within minutes. For more complicated zaps, it may take some experimentation, but Zapier is there to help you troubleshoot.
Read full review Support Rating The team is proactive and takes the issue up for resolution, they follow continuous development and release.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The nearest thing I have used to OIC is UiPath, as it is often used as a tool to integrate software together. However, it is much more suited to legacy software which have little to no API endpoints. If the infrastructure already exists I understand why people use RPA for integration, however for when API's are easily accessible and you're using Oracle tools, OIC is better.
Read full review Zapier is a much more mature platform with much more software that you can integrate into and they add to their portfolio every month Zapier has more functions for each software they connect Zapier has their own services that are very useful They have so many existing work flows that you can easily add Read full review Return on Investment Created a solution for unique business integration with minimal processing times Saves my team about 7 hours per week because of how it communicates with all the information. Because it communicates faster, and because there's a lot of information to communicate with, another solution might not work. Read full review It saves us hours of time every week being able to connect services automatically. It enables automations to happen that would not otherwise be possible at all. It allows us to choose other software for specific purposes without the limitations of only the built-in connectivity. Read full review ScreenShots Oracle Integration (OIC) Screenshots
