Considered Both Products
Okta Workflows
Chose Okta Workflows
I think Okta is so much more complete and FUB is more only sales oriented instead of Customer Service, with Okta you can call, chat, get in contact internally with other departments, and do different things to solve customer issue.
Chose Okta Workflows
We have not used other products similar to Okta.
Chose Okta Workflows
I evaluated Zapier and Microsoft Flow before coming across Azuqua. Zapier was too simplistic and didn't allow for transfer of enough variables. The price point also didn't work for the value it could provide. Microsoft Flow couldn't make the connection with Smartsheet, and I …
Chose Okta Workflows
Stampley - on the surface they look similar, but I came across this alternative after integrating with Azuqua so I haven't fully evaluated it against Azuqua.
Chose Okta Workflows
None, Azuqua seemed to do what we needed.
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua handles multi-stream processes very well, however provides some nuances with connecting data.
Chose Okta Workflows
Zapier primarily, I prefer the workflow creation in Azuqua. The UI is very user friendly.
Chose Okta Workflows
I have used Mulesoft, Workato, my own code and in past years heavyweight data (e.g. ETL) platforms along with a number of bus technologies. In this case, I was looking for the cloud-based approach that matches our strategy of being totally cloud-focused along with simpler …
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua was the first application we assessed for our purposes, and served our needs so well that we felt no need to search further. It gave us the solutions we needed in a way that was easy to set up and maintain, and the support we received was above and beyond expectations, …
Chose Okta Workflows
I had to use the Automate tool for funneling image assets in bulk (tens of thousands) from FTPs into various destinations on an eCommerce platform. The user interface was quite harsh in comparison to Azuqua. Far more text/code line driven.
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua offered the most customization of the other platforms we tried. While it was comparably intuitive to use, in terms of entry level, Azuqua maintained this intuitiveness at higher levels of sophistication/integration whereas the other platforms either lacked the same logic …
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua was more intuitive.
Chose Okta Workflows
IFTTT / Zapier - There really isn't a comparison as Azuqua allows for full customization of your flows and IFTTT and Zapier do not.

Talend Open Studio is built more for doing database / file integrations and it can do API calls. Talend is much bigger but cannot accomplish what …
Chose Okta Workflows
We have not used another tool besides Azuqua to help us solve these business needs.
Chose Okta Workflows
Smartsheet notifications is the main competitor for what we use Azuqua for. When we got Azuqua, there was no competitor and Smartsheet actually recommended it as the solution. Now, we split up the work between the 2 tools and use Smartsheet for the easier notifications and …
Chose Okta Workflows
Easy to build out complex if/then scenarios and fire of multiple other workflows within one workflow. Like the UI of seeing how data is being utilizes, ported, and manipulated across the workflows. Also like the workflow history for optimization as well as troubleshooting. Raw …
Chose Okta Workflows
I evaluated another platform, but I can't recall their name.

ServiceRocket didn't work. I tried to integrate with them, but it was a mess and a waste of time. The other platform was 10x as expensive at Azuqua.
Chose Okta Workflows
Azuqua was the only product we looked at in this space.
Zapier
Chose Zapier
No other solutions i experienced in our Automation workflow with current organization.
Chose Zapier
Power Automate is great if you live exclusively in the Microsoft Dataverse. However, we have lots of apps that aren't fully represented - that's where Zapier shines. It has such great reach to so many other apps. Zapier is my go-to automation solution.
Chose Zapier
Zapier is excellent when working with those tools because even though they have automation capabilities, they lack a lot of connection with different apps.
Chose Zapier
We selected Zapier because of its reputation. That was a mistake. There are many other platforms that do the same job for considerably less money.
Chose Zapier
I personally chose it for the wide variety of integrations it has. I can connect to any app I need to use. Also, they are always adding new ones. The ease of use is an important factor for me and its simple and fast interface. For the use that I give it, it seems to me that the …
Chose Zapier
Zapier is pretty much easier to use unlike other paid CRM tools available in the market. Its intuitive user interface and free trial make it easier to switch to it. Its free plan of 100 tasks per month also helps small businesses who can't afford to buy high-price tools.
Chose Zapier
In case of IFTTT at the very begining you could use any of them to solve the same problem but with the time IFTTT became more hardware automation and Zapier more software services automation so eventually I end up moving 100% to Zapier and I still think IFTTT has its own use …
Chose Zapier
We actually utilize both Integromat and Zapier at our company, for all the reasons detailed in this review. Though Zapier is excellent for simple client integrations, we often run into internal use cases that require complexity that Zapier cannot provide. Specifically working …
Chose Zapier
Similar--free and paid accounts, both suitable for small businesses and sole proprietors. Similar apps also allow you to set up workflows so when a specific action is taken, a followup action is then taken. Works wonderfully and really helps save time on a day-to-day basis. It …
Chose Zapier
Zapier fills in for some of the features that are missing from Google Forms. Using them both is the best option for us.
Chose Zapier
Zapier is the best option for users with no coding experience, it has a very simple and welcoming interface that leads you directly to your goal. Also, there are useful articles and forums that help you navigate through the system. Also, there is great customer service in case …
Chose Zapier
I’ve used the free version of Hootsuite. I think this program is a more robust program once you pay for its features. Zapier is still better as a free version. So if you are looking to round out your digital presence with little investment go with Zapier. If you’re trying to …
Chose Zapier
  • Zapier is a much more mature platform with much more software that you can integrate into and they add to their portfolio every month
  • Zapier has more functions for each software they connect
  • Zapier has their own services that are very useful
Chose Zapier
Zapier seemed better positioned to do what we need to do from a business perspective. I may be wrong but IFTTT seemed more personal/home use.
Chose Zapier
There is not really any other product out there that compares to Zapier. It is one of the best products for automation and it can be used with ease.
Chose Zapier
I am currently using Zapier and it became for us a must have tool that make us win a lot of time .
Chose Zapier
We started out very quickly with Zapier, and it worked very well for us an organization, and have simply scaled on that specific platform. While we have used and tested some others, we decided at the end to stay with Zapier due to the extent of adoption across the …
Chose Zapier
Zapier is by far the best of any services like that I've seen. I really do recommend it to every small business I know!
Chose Zapier
IFTTT is much more open and extensible but doesn't come with nearly the amount of pre-baked integrations and pre-built workflows that Zapier does. When we first used Zapier years ago, IFTTT was more of a hobbyist/tinkerer platform and not primarily aimed at the enterprise …

Likelihood to Recommend
The integration I used Azuqua for was based on Salesforce, Wrike and Office 365. I found the integration of Salesforce reasonably straightforward, Wrike was limited in the "cards" capability but functional (there are bugs but there are also workarounds but they required assistance from the Azuqua support team) and Office 365 was quite immature (primarily around Excel bugs but also email was limited).

If you have processes that are now managed and controlled using a spreadsheet, Zapier will give you a lot more control over what is happening and will help you increase productivity by eliminating simple steps such as sending emails and sharing information with your colleagues. It frees time for very transactional activities.

Pros
  • The best part about Azuqua is that you do not need to write code. You do however need to have an understanding of logic and how the software works. This happens to fit me perfectly as someone with basic programming experience.
  • Their Support is second to none. Not only are they extremely quick and responsive, but their answers are never canned responses and always provide valuable content.
  • They seem to take feedback seriously and will continue to evolve and make a better product.

  • Ease of use - multiple people in the organization can set up and run Zaps per their specific use cases without much training.
  • Connectivity - Zapier is able to connect to multiple applications we use on a regular basis.
  • Functionality - Zapier provides embedded functionality within the app itself (email, data conversion), but also appropriate triggers and actions for apps it connects to.
  • Versatile - Zapier can execute complicated and simple tasks and thus has many use cases.

Cons
  • I think it requires an easy way to migrate flows created from one user to then move the ownership to another user. It happened to us that one of our engineers left the company and he had the Azuqua account and flows. It required quite some time, cases and telephone calls to do the migration to my account.

  • Being able to turn off one leg of a Zap without having to delete it or turn the whole Zap off
  • Not all fields populate when using certain aspects of Salesforce, but that could be an SF issue
  • Communication when support is actually needed basically doesn't happen

Usability
The system is working as it should, keeping our programs safe from outside hackers. Helping us keep our passwords safe, convenient and already ready to get us logged into the program securely and quickly. Verification that only authorized users are able to access our company's programs. Okta Workflows (Azuqua) is a very good system that has helped our company greatly.

The interface is very user-friendly, and there are also many tools to help a brand-new user get started. For example, you can put your Zap idea into the AI bot, and it will basically build a shell of your Zap to get started on. The format for each step within a Zap is also very helpful (set up the connection/app, set up the fields/details, then test).

Before we purchased Zapier, I contacted support and asked them if Zapier could support my intended workflow (this is actually a selection on their support form - awesome). Within 2 hours, I was contacted by a support team member who seemed sure it would work, but granted me premium access for 2 weeks to try it out for myself. Sure enough, it did! Ever since then, support has replied rapidly to any problems I have experienced and answered my questions within a few sentences.

Alternatives Considered
I evaluated Zapier and Microsoft Flow before coming across Azuqua. Zapier was too simplistic and didn't allow for transfer of enough variables. The price point also didn't work for the value it could provide. Microsoft Flow couldn't make the connection with Smartsheet, and I was unable to get Microsoft support or Smartsheet support to assist me with the issue.

We actually utilize both Integromat and Zapier at our company, for all the reasons detailed in this review. Though Zapier is excellent for simple client integrations, we often run into internal use cases that require complexity that Zapier cannot provide. Specifically working with API calls (not just webhooks), complex multi-step integrations with Routing/parsing/etc, and large volume integrations. Integromat is perfect for these use cases, but doesn’t provide the simplicity and account scalability that Zapier offers.

Return on Investment
  • Increased time savings. We could not function as a matter of daily business if we did not have a tool to automate project folders (and complementary workflow management profiles) for the thousands of projects that flow through daily.
  • Opens up a greater understanding of all the silos and divisions within the company infrastructure and tests secure means to link those groups safely and share information.
  • Opens up the chance to communicate with other API information sources if our company is doing a partnership with another organization. Granted everything is square with IT security.
