Automate.io vs. UiPath Integration Service

Any information transfer between systems. They have a lot of different applications that integrate with their system, which saves a lot of tedious follow-ups.

Areas where it would be appropriate:

1. If you want a really 'deep' integration with a third party software, and you want all the control over how it interacts with your software
2. If you want a totally white-labeled solution, that is totally invisible to your customers.
3. if you care more about a well thought out/useful API, rather than a pretty UI

Areas where it is less appropriate:

1. If you want a Zapier-esque hands-off integration for YOU.
2. if you want your customers to do more of the work, pay for it/etc.
3. if you're a really small business, it could be too expensive. But it depends on your individual contract with them.

• Speed. Screens sometimes take a long time to load, and data lists occasionally load very slowly or not at all, requiring a refresh.

• There weren't really many cons to our experience. The only slight downside was the cost but they worked with us on that to make it work.

Excellent tool, offering excellent ROI.

It is brilliantly superb.

Amazing customer service! You can schedule a time to chat through the issue or use the chat. I've used each method once and both times they understood my issue and helped me resolve it. They were very thorough and persistent in determining the issue and fixing it. For example, July 1 on a Google Form was showing up as January 7 in Monday.com due to formatting conversions. After trying multiple versions to fix it myself, I couldn't get it corrected. Abhijeet from Automate fixed my bot to ensure the date was being reflected correctly in Monday.com and was patient enough to wait for me to test it several times. Customer service makes all the difference when you run into an issue and happy to report this crew rates an A+

Make sure the person managing it knows APIs and Databases, so they can 'understand' what Automate does and offers. Without such conceptual understanding, Automate is too geeky. WITH such conceptual understanding, Automate is a Church Picnic easy.

• Automate.io is way more friendly and easy to use
• Zapier is more expensive
• Way too many errors
• Zapier Api interaction is not the best

MuleSoft is also a similar product to Cloud Elements, but is not available as an option in this form.

Workato and MuleSoft are competing cloud API connector platforms that perform a similar function to Cloud Elements. We chose Cloud Elements over them because CE provided a more robust path to unifying the behavior of connected systems.

Zapier is a workflow automation tool that I feel draws erroneous comparison to Cloud Elements that I need to highlight. Workflow automation tools (Zapier, IFTTT, Microsoft Flow) do provide multiple integrations, but for simplistic scenarios where only a handful of explicitly described steps need accomplished. Cloud Elements is a platform for developers to deliver faster and with higher reliability than making integrations one-by-one in complex systems that solve demanding problems.

• Saves me 1-3 hours of work every single day.
• Automating data entry has allowed me to keep a great visual record of numbers and customers in Google Sheets instead of relying on checking individual orders on Shopify or individual emails, etc.

• We are able to build integrations in HALF the time we could build them from scratch.
• They allow our development team to spend more hours focused on developing our core product, not connections to other products.
• Their large catalog of services to connect to allows us to spend much less time researching other platform integration endpoints and increases our R&D speed a considerable amount.
