Allen E
President
5.0

Allen E.: Hey, my name's Allen and I'm the president of a small rehab company and I give Zapier a five. Before using Zapier, I was doing a lot of manual work, just pulling data from one app to another and it depended on my employees being on top of things. Once I got Zapier implemented, it easily connects a lot of my apps together, automates a lot of my workflow. As soon as I enter data in one place, it populates multiple other apps and areas and reduces a lot of the redundancies and inefficiencies ahead of my company. Brought in Zapier because we were having a lot of inefficiencies as far as entering the same data in several different either Google Sheets or CRM or other places and keeping things in sync. When things would change in one software, we had to remember to change in another software and Zapier just simplified all that and automated it so all the data was synced across the apps and services that we use. Using Zapier was very easy to integrate and start using. It's very intuitive. It just asks you for which apps you want to connect, your login info, where the data is stored, what format you want it to be pulled and what data you want it to be inputted into the next app. It takes a couple minutes to set up each of those apps and pretty simple. If you're planning to try Zapier, they have a free trial. It doesn't hurt to just try it. I think you'll love it. I know there are other connectors out there. But Zapier I found to be just very easy, intuitive and they give you a lot, even on their free tier trial. But you're probably going to want to expand past that if you're going to be a heavy user.

5.0

Jawad K.: Hi, my name is Jawad. I'm the owner of A&A's General Retail Store, and I give Visio a five star rating. I attempted to make organizational charts and office plans on my own by creating them on my own. With Visio, it already comes together. So I chose to use Visio instead of trying to develop my own charts. The reason why I chose Visio is because it came with my school. Microsoft 365, it's already paid for. It comes with the whole thing. You can make organizational charts, office plans, and it's already free with Microsoft 365. And that's one of the reasons, plus the quality of the software is why I chose Visio. Getting started with Visio is easy. Go to Microsoft 365, it has all the apps, such as PowerPoint, Visio, Office, and it was free. It's easy just to pull up online, and plus you can have an app with your Windows software. It took me a few minutes and it wasn't hard at all. I recommend that you choose Visio. If you have a school or a business account with Microsoft 365, it's already free. You can just download the app or use it online. It's a great organizational tool, and it'll help you save time.
