Ziplyne
Ziplyne brings digital adoption guidance and test automation together for enterprise applications. Ziplyne DAP provides step-by-step in-app guidance, no-code onboarding and change communication flows, plus analytics for tracking adoption. ZipRPA turns process recordings into tests, runs continuous regression checks, and can repair scripts when interface elements change. Tests can run across development, test, and production environments. The platform is pre-tuned for Workday, Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, Coupa, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics, and can also run in browser-based internal apps and portals. It connects with Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Bamboo, with REST API support for other pipeline systems. Available platforms are Android, iOS, web, extension, API, and self-hosted deployment. Ziplyne has no free plan; its 14-day POV trial is guided by Customer Success and is not self-serve. Paid plans start at $500/mo. Listed controls include SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA-ready deployments with a BAA available, and NIST AI RMF alignment; ISO 27001 is in progress.
