Albato is Promising But Very Flawed
I purchased like 6 months ago and im still using Albato for a couple of things, but i can't say it has been clear sailing, Albato has potential, but i think several issues hold it back:
Unreliable: Albato automations stop working frequently, with no clear cause or descriptive error messages, this means i have to rebuild them quite often, sometimes it works out, other times i just can't make it work.
Limited Functionality: While Albato boasts many integrations, they often have far fewer triggers and actions compared to competitors like Zapier. This limits a lot of what you can achieve, you can only do like 2 or 3 things with Twitter... while with Zapier you can do 20, lots of actions and triggers that seem obvious are just not available on Albato, so what's the point of having a integration if its useless for what you you need.
Complex Interface: Albato's interface is both confusing and cluttered. Even simple tasks feel overly complicated, its menus inside menus with no clear idea of what anything does or goes, first you have to check if Albato has the trigger and actions needed, then create the automation in your head, paper, computer and then use that as a guideline to try and build the automation on Albato.
Difficult for Complex Workflows: Building advanced automations is a nightmare on Albato. Processes require excessive steps and workarounds. While at the same time you never know if something is working or pinpoint where something has failed. In Zapier it's easy to get data from RSS, pass it through OpenAI and post on Twitter, on Albato the same automation requires way more steps, including in the end having to truncate the whole thing so it can post inside twitter's character limit (while on Zapier that step is obviously automated).
I'm not saying that Albato have to be Zapier, IFTTT or Maker, but there are is a lot they should mimic, because it just works! But as of now Albato just isn't on the same league, giving it like 4.5 stars in my opinion is not a clear assessment of the current product, and 6 months in i'm still using Zapier and Maker...
