IFTTT's value is how much time it saves my clients.
Score 10 out of 10

I use IFTTT to help set up starter information for several of my client's blogs. One of the services offered by my business is researching industry news or other relevant news for blog posts. For example, I set up apps at IFTTT that will post set information from online, feeds or internal website use directly as a blog draft. I can use the drafts to decided what information I want to expained upon to create blog post(s).
- They are easier to use than other products.
- Website is straight forward giving you the information you need and not information you don't.
- You can quickly set it up so data goes directly to cloud spreadsheets.
- Email to social media share.
- Ability to have several users on one account.
- Create your own app. I wish I could add more custom codes or shortcuts to draw other information automatically.

- Huge time saver to get the information to go where I need it to.
- IFTTT creation platform filter codes needs a tutorial.
- IFTTT platforms need price plan example.
- IFTTT could use more add ingredients.
- Compared to other services, IFTTT does a great job of not having a website full of distracting information.
Zapier is always trying to feed me information I don't want, whereas IFTTT has a clean, easy to use website.
Microsoft Flow is time-consuming to set up, IFTTT isn't. In my line of work, time is very important. I need to do the work and get it done.
Automate doesn't offer the setting I need. IFTTT is a closer fit for my client's projects.

We used IFTTT for some of our prototyping before we built out a more complicated orchestration tool behind the scenes. It was a great way for us to connect a couple of services we've built in the past so that we can easily move things up to production.
- Quick and light weight.
- Fairly reliable.
- Easy to set up and adopt new connections.
- Wish it had a better way to chain commands. It only has a single step and is not very easy for complex operations.
- It's a little too basic and has issues working with a more complex use case. When you have requirements to do transformations, it is not the right solution.
- Some less used integrations break since they aren't used regularly. Support isn't always up to date on all integrations.

- Response time for the process is great
- Saved us a lot of time and money in set up of integrations
- Great tool for testing and initial builds

IFTTT for Enterprise Integration
IFFT is being used as part of our automation back end. We are currently using it as a bridge between multiple services such as Google and different sensors that do not normally talk to each other. We are using IFFT to publish data to Google Docs and read in data from other services.
- Very simple interface.
- Connects to a multitude of services and sensors.
- Allows integration between services that would normally require expensive custom solutions.
- The interface is sometimes too simple.
- There are some clunky issues when you want to do more than one event at a time.
- Not open for full customization.

- This has been a great positive ROI as we no longer have to build custom integrations between services.
- Our time to live integrations has been considerably shortened.
- We have been able to find new services just by exploring what IFTTT has to offer.
We have used Microsoft Flow, Stringify and IFTTT for various solutions. Stringify is no longer an option as it was shut down. We have found that IFTTT and Flow both have their place and in some places working together for the same task. We have found there is no one universal platform and it is all about the end solution.

IFTTT will change your life, like it automated mine.
IFTTT is a seamless and intuitive automation platform that allows you to link the various APIs that different software use to communicate. This creates novel "recipes" that make the use of RSS feeds and group collaboration effortless. Also included are multiple smart home automation tools and apps that are designed by the IOT manufacturers. I really recommend this platform for both the solo blogger/freelancer and the midsize organization that wants to maximize the bang for their social media buck.
- Application Automation.
- Ideas to allow for new automation between old integrations.
- Many new apps added regularly.
- Pricing is free.
- Multiple IFTTT accounts can contain the same integrated app profile.
- No limits.
- They could start making integrated apps that fill voids they see in their usage analytics.
- They could promote themselves a bit better.
- A IFTTT run version of the now defunct Yahoo pipes would always be nice.
- AI that recommends API recipes based on the content you are pushing.

- Replaces many hours staff would devote to social media
- Many staff have reported finding more cost efficient APPS using the IFTTT directory.
- Positive ROE is off the board as the service is free and many of the platforms were being used by us already if they required payment.

Content aggregation, real-time news, team projects, support, sales and invoicing have all been seen reduction in both cost and hours spent on repetitive tasks.

IFTTT can be used by the most computer illiterate staff, as long as they have the company logins and passwords relating to the integrated platforms. The recipe ideas that are generated by IFTTT can be pleasantly co-opted as their own.

Zapier use was replaced whenever IFTTT on boarded the missing integration. Integromat is now being used as it seems to fire some RSS feeds faster per hour. I would not ever expect any competitor application to IFTTT to catch up with their catalogue or do the job cheaper, in the future.

IFTTT allowed us to fire 22,000 tweets to a twitter site in 20 days using a yahoo pipes generated RSS feed. IFTTT has been integrating may of our lives in business and personal scope for half a decade. The site is free and I have over 40 accounts, all with a different purpose.
IFTTT were the originals and they have not been copied effectively since. The evaluation is merely a list of disadvantages incurred using any competition to IFTTT. The process is evaluating the use of IFTTT in your organization and personal life. When you hear people mention using an alternative, it reminds me of bottled water from EVIAN.
- Implemented in-house
I found the website looking for an API integration solution.

Change management was minimal
IFTTT can be implemented as slowly as you want to save money.

- Free time
- Changes in job descriptions
- Social media explosion
No
Every time I log in tto IFTTT and they have included the integration for an application I use, thus allowing me to sit and think of the different possibilities available.... I think the support that went into focusing on the API expansion is key, as the service does not break.
- Recipe API ideas.
- Loading your identity into the various integrations
- Utilizing RSS feeds relevant to your niche or skillset.
- App discovery
- API development
- Live support
Yes, but I don't use it
IFTT closed the two mobile apps it released because they did not add to the application experience, especially for the power-user.
