Featured Reviews

Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.
Sachin Shrtivastava - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation of simple tasks improves with user-friendly interface but needs enhancement in handling complex scenarios
In my opinion, what could be improved in Zapier is its UI, which operates as a one-line system. Compared to Make.com and other tools that have a drag-and-drop system, this is lacking. If the scenario or automation is complex, it becomes difficult to create and deploy because of various routes. For example, with 20 routes, it becomes really difficult to create them due to certain limits, and the UI is not conducive for viewing all the routes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"Zapier is user-friendly and most information is available within the page for specific automation."
"There are a few valuable features, like the stability that it comes with and also the number of features that it offers. I've used other services like Pabbly, but they don't offer similar numbers of applications that Zapier has or allows to integrate with – it's maximum."
"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to integrate with over 20,000 applications, which is a superior feature compared to Make.com that has limited applications access."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"The initial setup is pretty easy to do."
 

Cons

"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"The workflow could be improved."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"There is a bug that bothers me whenever you try to open a workflow. There is this chatbot that opens up automatically, and you have to close it always manually, so that is something that is really irritating, so I would want that removed."
"Zapier needs more YouTube or video tutorials or more training for people. That would help a lot. In particular, Zapier should have documentation for every connector. Its documentation needs to be more detailed and visual."
"Being able to share Zaps and organize them with teammates would allow sharing and refining scenarios and even combining steps that require different people's credentials."
"There could be improvements in creating more complex workflows within the data domain."
"Zapier needs to improve in the same way most RPA solutions should, such as Robocorp, Make, or UiPath. They are not good at helping you find the connections that you need for the problem that you have. For example, if need something on Instagram. I'm going to have to do research for hours to be able to find the components or the app, which is going to do what I need it to do. It makes it difficult to use the system when you don't know what to use."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"Zapier's price is good."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"It's very straightforward licensing. There's only one cost you have to pay, and if you want a relevant pricing plan, I think you have two or three different models or packages which include the number of notifications or Zaps, as they call it, that you can program."
"Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."
"Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
"The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks."
"It's very affordable."
"There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
