IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
The pitch for Integrately is simple: Like Zapier but much cheaper.
As we move increasingly toward SaaS and cloud-based tools, we need to coordinate the use of more and more tools that do not natively interact with each other. Through the use of services like Integrately we can link these together and automate certain tasks in order to create a more consistent workflow and cut down on data input errors/omissions.

Pros
- Lower cost than Zapier
Cons
- Their workflow builder is almost impossible to use.
- Troubleshooting errors is difficult unless you are a programmer.
- User unfriendly for non-techies.
- Relies heavily on JSON publishing for many tools rather than native integration.
Likelihood to Recommend
Integrately boasts a long list of products that it works with, but I feel that the actual implementation is clunky hit-or-miss. In my experience, the UI to create automations is miserably terrible. It shows way too many fields and is constantly resetting collapsed steps, so there is an absolutely dreadful amount of scrolling and searching involved. The order of fields often seems extremely random, which further makes the process for me extremely painful. There seem to be relatively few products that they truly integrate with, and most rely on JSON publishing. Testing is very difficult in my experience as it would only look for the most recent JSON data. It is not possible to test the automations with historical data. The actual success rate of automations is extremely spotty and it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot given the terrible UI. Split workflows (if/then) are very, very clunky. I wasted a huge amount of time manually replicating automations for various gateways.
