Verified User Anonymous Chose IFTTT Zapier is always trying to feed me information I don't want, whereas IFTTT has a clean, easy to use website.

Verified User Anonymous Chose IFTTT I initially was using Zapier for some of my simple integrations but started using IFTTT for some of our project work as it allowed me to do logical connections between applications. While it's great in some areas, it can be improved upon to allow for more deep configurations. Incentivized Helpful? Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Chose IFTTT We have used Microsoft Flow, Stringify and IFTTT for various solutions. Stringify is no longer an option as it was shut down. We have found that IFTTT and Flow both have their place and in some places working together for the same task. We have found there is no one … Incentivized Helpful?

Josephine Stafford Owner Chose IFTTT I like that IFTTT is free and it’s just what I need for my business currently. Incentivized Helpful? Benjamin Hale Digital Marketing Analyst Chose IFTTT IFTTT is free and easy to use, where Zapier has a freemium business model. We actually use both platforms for different things. I prefer Zapier for more complicated connections, where IFTTT allows us to have more connections without the added fee. Additionally, IFTTT allows us … Incentivized Helpful? Marcelo de Vasconcellos Senior Visual Designer Chose IFTTT As IFTTT, Zapier also helps users to connect apps and services, but it seems more directed to the corporative world. While IFTTT provides support for home devices (as lighting and security systems) and voice assistants (Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant, and Siri), Zapier … Incentivized Helpful? Jeff Huisjen Director of studentLife Chose IFTTT IFTTT has worked better for us than Hootsuite because we utilize it spur of the moment and only have to post to one platform. Once that post is done IFTTT does the rest and we're good to go. Using the native social media apps and software has allowed us to schedule posts in a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose IFTTT Honestly I use both, since Zapier is a bit more robust. However, IFTTT is much easier to use and configure. It is much more friendly. Incentivized Helpful? Atilla Vekony Vice President Chose IFTTT I am using both but for different uses. DLVR.IT seems to be opimized for social media sharing only, whereas that is only a small part of what IFTTT does. Incentivized Helpful? Jerry Janes Digital Media Specialist Chose IFTTT Compared to Buffer, IFTTT has a far greater reach and scope, across numerous Social and off-site platforms. If you work in SEO, Content, or marketing in general, marrying IFTTT with Buffer will provide functionality you otherwise pay for. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose IFTTT Office 365 has a program called Flow that functions similar to IFTTT, however, IFTTT has more integrations with 3rd parties and Flow has problems with getting triggers to go off properly. Unless there were some corporate requirement to utilize Flow only or limit integrations, I … Incentivized Helpful? Jared DeLong DIrector of Engagement Chose IFTTT I haven't used Zapier extensively, but it seems that IFTTT is much simpler to set up. However, Zapier appears to be a much deeper integration where you can sync a variety of fields of data and customize the sync more than you can with IFTTT. Zapier may be more valuable for … Incentivized Helpful? Chelsea Baldwin Founder Chose IFTTT Basically the same, though it seems Zapier can do more complex things. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose IFTTT In my mind, the only real competitor to IFTTT is Zapier. Zapier is great because of the amount of SaaS tools that it has, but Zapier fails in the ease of use category. Zapier's website is slow, and the integrations can be confusing to set up. IFTTT is simple, easy to use. Incentivized Helpful? Jared Whitley SaaS Administrator Chose IFTTT IFTTT has more "end user" connections that Zapier thus making it more for users and less for power-users. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose IFTTT In the past, I have run scripting on a Linux server to provide some level of integration of some of the smart devices in the workspace.

Mudassir Malik Oracle Certified HCM Cloud Consultant Chose IFTTT While other paid services might give your a little extra features and possibly a connectivity with enterprise application, it's nearly impossible to beat IFTTT with the cost factor, ease of use, hundreds of channels and a great community of users. Incentivized Helpful? Justin Strachan Business Owner Chose IFTTT IFTTT has the most integrations, the least bug recipes and it is the cheapest alternative. IFTTT has also been in the game for years. Automation for the people! You cannot get the kind if ideas from any other integration site, and many are missing key apps like Instagram or … Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Rincon MBA, LUTCF Insurance Advisor Chose IFTTT Truthfully I use both of these products. IFTTT is a very robust app but it does not get any where near as robust as Zapier. But although Zapier is more robust, for simpler tasks IFTTT is not only easier to set up, but gets the job done just as well. And now that IFTTT is … Incentivized Helpful? Elaine Foster Customer Success Manager Chose IFTTT IFTTT is great for personal, home-life use, as it targets social media, personal email preferences, and home-automation devices. Zapier is much more business-oriented and does not provide integrations with Amazon Alexa or WeMo home devices. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	IFTTT	MuleSoft Anypoint Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	IFTTT is a great tool for people wishing to integrate different productivity tools, but who lack the resources and/or knowledge about programming these connections themselves. Anyone who uses at least email, calendar and social networks on a regular basis can benefit from IFTTT. However, it probably won't be appropriate and/or relevant to casual users, or users inexperienced with the many possible links between smartphones and online apps. Incentivized Marcelo de Vasconcellos Senior Visual Designer Read full review	MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is best tool in the market for developing APIs with complex structures communicating with various different types of applications including web applications as well as legacy applications. Also applications including database connectivity for fetching and updating data in the DB tables. I cant think of any scenario which MuleSoft Anypoint Platform could not be used for developing the integrations. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Their UX and UI for creating recipes is brilliant. So easy to use and very well thought out. I love that you can search for recipes other users have created and implement those if you choose to do so. It saved me so much time vs. having to figure certain recipes on my own. Their notification and syncing options are spot on. I love how much I can customize what I want to see. Their variety of apps is also phenomenal and I love that they're adding new integrations/apps every week. Incentivized Jared DeLong DIrector of Engagement Read full review	Provides wide range of popular connectors like salesforce, netsuite, sftp and many more. A user can easily integrate with those services using specific connector. Support API development using RAML and desing tool. The platform is very good in data type classification. Cloud deployment and post deployment monitoring is easy. A user can configure application worker as per need. Alert and notifications are real time. Incentivized Kamta Prasad Technical Lead Read full review
Cons	It would be nice if there were more business software platforms on IFTTT, but I think that will come with time. I wish the site had an area to search pre-built integrations based on category or need. There really aren't too many cons to using IFTTT, the service gets better all the time and continues to grow almost daily. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Has more features than what we really need so we're paying for more than we use. Sort of like paying for an Abrams tank when all we really need is a Toyota Corolla. Not a value product, tends to be expensive. Takes a while for developers to learn to use Mulesoft Anypoint. Incentivized A Verified User Cloud Solutions Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	There is no better alternative and although Integromat is new and the GUI is slick, they make you pay per push and IFTTT does not. The rest of the competition make you pay per integration or are just not as seamless in usage or have the depth of catalogue. If you use Zapier for instance, it is because they have an integration you have to use, not because Zapier does a better job. Incentivized Justin Strachan Business Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	For the most part, IFTTT is great but it does have its limitations. You may only do one thing at a time. If you want branching logic it can be cumbersome and clunky. This it where something like Microsoft Flow does better. For simplicity, nothing can beat IFTTT for how easy it is to set up and use right out of the box Incentivized Kyle Kochtan Technical Lead Read full review	MuleSoft Anypoint Platform is really very easy to adopt for application integration. Simple UI and easy data weave language allows user to focus on business portion only. The API management and deployment of application are hassle free. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	I have had a few issues with apps over the years. Compared to other services, ITFFF is the best choice but no service is perfect unless you build it yourself for yourself. ITFFF needs more tutorials on how to create a custom platform, but overall I will recommend it as an easy to use, time-saving service. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Anypoint Platform support is very responsive. There is also a huge knowledge base and an active online forum where answers to most questions can be found. When needed support engages the engineering group so adequate solutions or workarounds are always provided. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	Just try it for your own social media platforms. Then imagine how much money it can save/make. Incentivized Justin Strachan Business Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	IFTTT is free and easy to use, where Zapier has a freemium business model. We actually use both platforms for different things. I prefer Zapier for more complicated connections, where IFTTT allows us to have more connections without the added fee. Additionally, IFTTT allows us to do more unique and one-off automations. Incentivized Benjamin Hale Digital Marketing Analyst Read full review	Once we have moved all of our system integration APIs to the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, we will need to communicate with a wide variety of external systems. All of our business and service logic is stored in the aforementioned core systems. Anypoint Platform (and all of our APIs) makes it easy to connect to various other platforms. In order to link to these many other systems, connectors and/or components are utilized, and they are simple to configure and integrate. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	IFTTT was a free program for us and has worked wonders. The time that it saves us when it posts across platforms is great because we only have to post one picture and caption and it goes out to all of our social media accounts. IFTTT has definitely helped us to communicate more and in better ways. Incentivized Jeff Huisjen Director of studentLife Read full review	Mulesoft can be used to provide an integration platform to a large number of systems like Salesforce, ODBC, JDBC, SAP, Mongo DB, etc. An excellent option to develop microservices and real-time integrations. Not as robust in handling large data volumes, Informatica is better in that respect. Incentivized Nikhil Kohli Service Delivery Lead Read full review
