"Incredibly powerful tool with a steep learning curve"

What do you like best about Activepieces?

Tons of integrations or "pieces," allowing for very powerful automations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activepieces?

Some integrations and flows are pretty unintuitive to set up. It can still be pretty difficult to get started with, even for a no-code solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using it as a software developer"
5/5
What do you like best about Activepieces?

I am a software developer and starting my SaaS business.

I compared all the alternatives to Zapier that is really expensive, and found ActivePieces.

Much more cheaper than the competitors, it's true that they don't have all the integrations from Zapier but it's moving very fast!

Now I'm using it to call some workflow from my code app with Webhooks. It's perfect because I don't have to code all the complex integrations inside my code, and can change quickly things.

It's a bit similar to N8N, you can create branch with conditions, but also easier than N8N.

Last thing that I would have to mention : it's an open source project, so if you have a developper in your team, it's really easy to code your own integration (called "piece")

I had to call Mixpanel from my workflow, but there was no integration. I could create it in one hour with typescript and submit it to the community. 2 days after, it was released on the plateform!

If I would have used Zapier, I could not make this on my own, I would have to wait that one day, they add this integrations... So love that this is open source Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activepieces?

Less integrations than Zapier, but I can add them as a developer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Build flows that automate and streamline processes."
5/5
What do you like best about Activepieces?

I really like this software because it lets you build flows that automate and streamline processes. For me thats content and commerce workflows. You can set up triggers to determine when the flow is executed, like on a schedule or when a specific event happens. And the actions you can take after the trigger are pretty cool too – you can run code or connect with other services. It's super handy in real-life production situations because it simplifies tasks and makes things more efficient. Overall, it's just really awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activepieces?

There has been a surge in the number of automation platforms emerging in the market. It's exciting to see this growth, but it also raises concerns about the staying power and community interest of each platform. Personally, I have high hopes for ActivePieces and its potential to quickly expand its offering by adding more useful pieces. They have some cool features that make ActivePieces truly stand out from the rest. Still waiting on FB to be approved but thats why I hava a few other tools in my automation stack while thats being resolved.

"Lovely piece of software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Activepieces?

My experience with Activepieces has been quite good. In my opinion, one of the standout features of Activepieces is its workflow creation process. It's intuitive and streamlined, making designing and managing workflows very easy. The platform's attention to user experience is evident, ensuring that even complex workflows are manageable for all users.

Another aspect of Activepieces that enhanced my workflow automation capabilities is its JavaScript integration. This feature empowers me to create complex scenarios and manipulate data in real time before it's sent to its designated destination. This level of flexibility and control is invaluable, especially when dealing with data-driven processes.

Activepieces has provided me with an exceptional workflow automation experience thanks to its user-friendly interface and powerful JavaScript integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activepieces?

While I generally enjoy working with Activepieces, there are a few aspects that I find a bit frustrating. Firstly, the platform lacks an auto-retry feature for failed executions. When a workflow doesn't execute successfully, I have to manually review and re-execute it, which can be time-consuming, especially when multiple failures occur. It would significantly enhance the user experience if Activepieces implemented an automatic retry mechanism to alleviate this issue.

Additionally, I've found the execution log to be quite basic. It would be immensely helpful if Activepieces could provide more advanced features for log management. For instance, filtering logs by specific flows or searching for specific text within the execution log would greatly enhance troubleshooting and monitoring capabilities. These improvements would streamline the process of identifying and addressing issues within workflows.

Another concern is integrating services and their corresponding triggers and actions within Activepieces. While the platform offers a good range of integrations, it isn't very reassuring to see that not all available triggers and actions from external services are fully integrated. In some cases, only a subset of these capabilities is accessible within Activepieces. To deliver a more robust user experience, it would be beneficial for the Activepieces team to take a more comprehensive approach when integrating external services, ensuring that all available triggers and actions are accessible to users.

My experience with Activepieces has been positive overall, but there is room for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I am no integration wizard but for my basic uses I actively like Activepieces."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Activepieces?

Affordability: ActivePieces offers a competitive price point, making it accessible for both fun and professional projects.

Open-Source Advantage: The transparency and potential for community-driven enhancements due to its open-source nature are commendable.

I am not very savvy but I find it easy to figure out.

It supports reading RSS feeds and Chat GPT for automated content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activepieces?

Integration Limitations: The platform currently lacks support for Facebook and Meta. When benchmarked against established platforms like Pabbly and Zapier, ActivePieces has fewer integration options.

With less than 200 Activepieces supported you have to be a little deliberate with what you connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not a Zapier alternative, but actually my preferred choice"
5/5
What do you like best about Activepieces?

I have been using Activepieces for quite some time now and my experiences have been nothing but positive.

The platform is rapidly expanding with new services being added at an impressive pace. The community is vibrant and supportive, making it easy to get answers or feedback when needed.

Furthermore, the developers behind Activepieces are fantastic. They are approachable, always willing to help, and seem genuinely invested in providing the best experience for their users.

While many may use Zapier as the go-to integration tool, Activepieces stands out as not just an alternative, but in many ways, a preferred choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activepieces?

Given that Activepieces is still in its growth phase, you can occasionally encounter small bugs. However, these are always swiftly rectified and have never been a major issue for me personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Someday (probably) but not today"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Activepieces?

Activepieces is open-source so I have no doubt that it will be further developed pretty quickly.

*IF* you're tech savvy, you could probably get AP to do pretty much anything you wanted it to.

It works well when generating ai content through the open.ai integration.

There is also a discord community that appears to be pretty active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Activepieces?

While it may happen *someday*, I don't anticipate AP replacing tools like Zapier anytime in the foreseeable future. It isn't even currently in the same arena to be considered a contender.

Activepieces requires strong tech skills to be useful - even instruction pieces are written in jargon that wouldn't be understood by the average software user.

I can do basic coding and am pretty tech savvy. AP gave me a migraine after spending hours trying to get it to do anything that would be beneficial in connecting my current tech stack. - I finally resigned to plopping in my open.ai api and generating a few ai blog drafts to my Wordpress site. While they'll never actually see the light of day (and there were bugs which wouldn't make me feel confident autoposting anyways), I was just that desperate for some self-efficacy gratification.
