Activepieces is a breath of fresh air when you compare it to the currently established Business Automation Tools, The fact it's Opensource and provides the ability to deploy a fully featured self hosted environment of AP free of charge allowing you to have as many flows as you want, for as many runs as you need is extremely competitive in the market and quite generous of the AP team.

AP offers many of the essential BA tools that you would need, Such as webhooks, Integrations with many common Google services such as Excel/Drive/Gmail and much more. And the interface provided is quite simple and clean, only showing the important details relevant to the current piece/flow you're working with.

And the best part is that it's only going to get better and larger! every week the team anounces new Pieces ready to be used in AP either from the awesome community contributors ( yey opensource! ) or the AP team themselves! So it's only a matter of time until AP catches up with industry giants like Zapier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more detailed documentation for AP. I've struggled with some Pieces that had no documentation on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Activepieces has been the easiest and most user friendly automation software I've used, I've found it extremely easy to set up flows and get automations up and running in a very short space of time.

The community site and discord servers are very active and have lots of information, definitely worth checking out if you ever get stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the documentation can be quite vague around pieces, it's definitely improving but showing use cases of how core pieces can be implemented would be really helpful. Luckily there are examples from users on youtube that show this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- AI assistance for adding code as needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to be super critical, the documentation could be more a little more comprehensive. However, updates are in progress, and the active Discord community is super helpful for urgent questions. I’m confident the documentation will improve over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The custom code piece that allows you to use javascript and npm packages for lots of flexibility. *update: the new ai hints for custom code is fantastic! Also, the custom API builder got some nice improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

*update after 6+ months: the team has been constantly updating the system and adding new integrations. The limited amount of native integrations available, which means you end up having to read the API docs for your apps and write the code yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to get started. Major applications in the cloud have their components, and it's easy to integrate with any of them. As a developer, I'm also very happy to have an open ecosystem to work with. I can self-host the application, deploy it privately, and develop custom components for very specific projects while reusing common ones.

Modifications to existing components get approved quickly. Adding new components is relatively easy because all the building blocks already exist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a developer, most of the time I can figure things out by looking at the code or searching the web for technical details. Documentation is probably the area where Activepieces still needs to improve, especially the online documentation. A good example is how to get ClientID and Secret from some integrations. Either the steps are absent or obsolete, which makes it a bit longer to integrate those flows.

Otherwise, the number of components and actions is behind Make or Zapier. But it is certainly growing rapidly, and as a developer, I'm very happy to contribute a little in that area with development in Odoo, Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, and others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all it is open Source, So lot many developers are contributing the project.

Fastest growing workflow automation against Zapier, Pabbly, Make

Creating pieces is open for all, also can create custom pieces, so both beneficial for public and private usecases

Overall I had the best experience with ActivePieces Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They dont have GUI editor to make pieces, like Pabbly have, If they can bring this thing, I expect more pieces creators can build, without coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It's open source so you can host it yourself. Their hosted version is awesome too with very competitive pricing.

- Integrations and autorhization with external services are handled very well.

- Community driven product with lots of contributors adding new "Pieces" (or integrations) all the time.

- You can develop your own pieces or integrations and then share them with the community!

- Lots of UX/UI improvements in the past months that make it really easy to integrate and debug flows (including incomining/outgoing webhooks which are a pain to impkement in some platforms) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Some pieces are still missing some functionality depending on the third party service they connect to, so if you need to implement something specific be sure to check the related pieces documentation to see if the actions you need are supported (or, if you have a developer on hand, just go ahead and implement the required actions) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The use of AI to help add code when needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation could be more comprehensive; however, I can already see some updates coming, and the Discord is quite active when I have any pressing questions. I know that with time, it will be updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UPDATE: I'm confident that Activepieces is a solid product, simply because automations are relatively easy to use (no-code/low-code) and their pricing is fair, which has been updated. Also, I've been really impressed by the community as people seem engaged and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside is quite small (just missing some integrations) since I know they're speeding things up by creating integrations with AI!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's open source so the possibilities are endless. This tool is so user friendly that it literally guids you through every steps so the chanes of making a mistakes goes down tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lesser integration and no direct support. Instead they have a community where people can share their concerns. Maybe they should have direct chatbot or something like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
