Overall Satisfaction with Zapier
Zapier is being used across the entire organization by multiple departments including finance, operations, sales, marketing, product & engineering. Zapier allows us to connect the different systems used across the organization, to transfer relevant data between these systems and enable different actions to be taken. Specifics problems addressed include data visibility, data mobility, workflow efficiency and creation.
- 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.
- Complexity - due to the flexibility it provides, this can introduce some complexity across the different steps being set up operationally.
- Dependence - depending on the use case Zapier becomes a key tool and dependency and thus needs to be monitored, without internal control to fix things. If Zapier goes down (rarely, but can always happen), then this could present a problem.
- Variability in pricing - pricing relies on the numbers actions being triggered and depending on how you've set up the zap, it could increase quickly, and thus needs to be monitored and understood.
- Improved operating efficiency - we can test and implement processes for efficiency much quicker.
- Data visibility - we are able to provide appropriate information to key users within the organization quicker.
- Creativity - solving problems calls for creative thinking and Zapier fosters that which has great benefits beyond just the business problem at hand.
- Tray.io and Automate.io
We started out very quickly with Zapier, and it worked very well for us an organization, and have simply scaled on that specific platform. While we have used and tested some others, we decided at the end to stay with Zapier due to the extent of adoption across the organization, an overall competitive price point and a developing solution that evolved and grew with our needs. In short - we were happy with the product so our comparisons were quick.
