What do you like best about the product?
It works very quickly. The updates are almost online.

Project Management and reporting, and as part my CRM.
My Opinon

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have integrated Quickbase with many tools like Device Magic, Hubspot and Highlevel...
Has valuable automation features, but it could support multiple coding languages
What is most valuable?
The product's most valuable feature is automation. We do not have to deal with any functionality. Another efficient feature is looping. It doesn't incur additional costs for extra steps and requires no coding.
What needs improvement?
One notable concern is the time-out resources assigned to automation when running. It could support various languages along with Python.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Zapier for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable platform. However, when automation fails, they could provide information about the reasons for failure. We have run automated tests again in debug mode with the same data. I rate the stability a seven out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the platform's scalability a five out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
It is an easy-to-deploy product with free trials available.
What other advice do I have?
The users are willing to work around issues and assist with replacements related to custom firmware and existing software. It demonstrates a proactive and problem-solving mindset. The users prefer integration rather than retraining or retracing to maintain a seamless workflow. However, it is expensive.
Automating this process through Zapier eliminated the need for repetitive copying and pasting, freeing valuable time for more meaningful and strategic activities. The integration with Python has helped with efficient visual-based data manipulation.
I rate it a seven out of ten.

With Zapier we interconnect all the tools we need
What do you like best about the product?
This network can be used for free in order to streamline procedures that are really short and do not require to be executed in a large amount, this is useful for people who have repetitive tasks but that are not a great complication and do not require to develop subtractions to be automated. For me, it is a good alternative for people or companies that would like to try this technology for the first time and, in turn, choose a plan that is not excessively demanding, since it is possible that some tasks may be generated to automate, however, the totality of the tasks are not too demanding to choose a plan that fits this technology. This is why this feature is perfect for small companies that have a very low volume work sequence that requires automation with this platform without having to pay extra for it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have observed that throughout the use I have given to the system in question is that sometimes the automation fails, that is, the execution of certain actions does not occur, so you lose the time not performed because the automated actions are not executed. Consequently, you have to keep a close eye on Zaps completions, as it is possible that the characteristics of the platform that is connected to Zapier are influenced by execution delays, that is, a delay in the progression of jobs. My advice is to regularly observe the execution of the Zaps to be sure that all of them are running correctly and that there are no issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I consider it as a great help that gives me the possibility to interconnect several tools and automate them without the need to perform repeated actions and have time to develop other tasks at home that require my attention. By doing this I reduce time and costs. The best part is the way it allows me to get to develop these automatisms between different platforms; I only need to drag and drop, I have also had the opportunity to specify a more direct through the API of each system that I needed to couple, and everything has gone as planned, thus giving the possibility to automate more deeply with particularities that match my needs.
