We use Zapier to combine loads of data into Google Sheets -- it helps us with data analysis and goaling, and it's made the process significantly easier.

What do you dislike most about this product?

For better or for worse, Zapier updates some of their zaps pretty frequently, and I can find that I'm using a deprecated version of a Zap without really any heads up. Once deprecated, the Zaps have a tendency to fail more often, and it's always a troubleshooting exercise -- I wish I had better notice around the deprecations.

Zapier enables us to automate simple processes that individuals perform on a daily basis, freeing them up to focus on more inventive work.

I enjoy how Zapier links to so many different websites. This has facilitated a smooth transition to other apps. It's also, for the most part, fairly simple to set up. I like how many apps you can link to using Zapier. It is incredibly simple to automate processes between practically all of my company's systems. It's also quite simple to convey to our clients that if they want to automate a process, they may utilize Zapier.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Our clients have reported instances of Zapiers disconnecting for no apparent reason. Using Zapier to produce records is simple: when X occurs, Y gets created. What I find more difficult is updating and removing records. Yes, this is feasible, but I normally have to take extra measures to save IDs when I create data, then seek for those IDs (usually in a google sheet or something) when I want to update/delete records.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is the best integration tool I have ever worked with, plus it has many more integrations available than its competitors.
