Automation has transformed onboarding workflows and still needs clearer error guidance
I would rate Tray.io overall about a seven, give or take, with a consideration of seven and a half. I chose seven for my rating mostly for cost-related reasons as I would not really recommend it for smaller companies or startups. Zapier would be a more beneficial solution for those, but if you are looking to scale up, I think it is worth the price, which is the only reason I would give it a seven rating. My overall review rating is seven. The learning curve for new users on Tray.io is somewhat noticeable, as when you first log on having never used a low-code platform, you need to take the time to really learn how the workflows are deployed and how to connect everything. However, once you are using it every single day, it is quite easy to catch up, though there is still a bit of a learning curve. Tray.io integrates fairly well with our existing tech stack, as we utilize Okta, Slack, Google Cloud platforms, AWS, and a multitude of software-as-a-service applications, and Tray.io automates many of these. From my experience alone, it helps with onboardings, offboardings, and title changes.

Diverse integration options support workflow automation while pricing and support need improvements
You can build similar or dependent automations in one Zap, which helps with understanding the process without switching between different records. I would appreciate quicker response times and more direct interactions. It would be great to have a direct contact person for support, but bigger companies usually have solution partners handling support. I do not have a solution partner for Zapier due to using it for small use cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by helping us keep our internal database and this third-party service in sync, and it has really helped us automate a lot of that work because it is fairly straightforward to maintain and develop."
"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of redundant tasks that our team performs by approximately 80%, and the numbers are quite significant with the workflows alone, as we are working towards creating and utilizing AI within these workflows as well."
"Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market."
"I recommend Zapier because there is demand and it is easy to use."
"I utilized Zapier's feature of connecting over 2000 apps for various automations in my business processes."
"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"The product's most valuable feature is automation."
"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."
"Zapier is a really good tool for connecting multiple different platforms and data sources. For example, with Quickbase, I can easily integrate data from other sources like AWS or task-tracking platforms such as ClickUp or Asana."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
 

Cons

"One way Tray.io could be improved, especially for people coming in with no real coding experience, is with more comprehensive error messages."
"As our product got more complex, we needed to add more and more complexity to Tray.io in terms of our setup, and that is when the benefits of it being no-code or low-code started to pale in comparison to the cost of making everything slightly more complicated."
"Zapier is user-friendly, but when we have an application version that we want to connect with Zapier, sometimes it does not support us."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"It can be challenging to get timely responses as they typically answer questions after a long period, sometimes taking up to a month to respond."
"There could be improvements in creating more complex workflows within the data domain."
"To make it a complete BPM solution, the UI component needs significant enhancement."
"At the moment, they allow a limited number of apps. I look forward to getting more apps for each package."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
