What are the challenges/benefit of using gravity form instead of marketo forms?

Recently our stakeholder told us that now they want to use gravity forms in our wordpress pages and we have to do integration between gravity forms and marketo through zapier. I am afraid that they will work similar to marketo forms? Does anyone have any pro and cos of using these forms?
1. Does this sync works on the basis of filled out form trigger?
2. Is it gonna check the duplicate leads before pushing it to marketo?

3. Will we be able to build the report on the basis of form fill out?

Any help with this will be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Sant

Using Zapier (and by extension the REST API) creates a ready-made Denial of Service vulnerability. It is not for use in a professional environment.

In addition, no, you will not see any Filled Out Form activities in Marketo. Leads can be deduped on Email Address... so at least there's that.

However, what you can (and should) do is use a visible Gravity Forms form in conjunction with the Forms JS (browser) API to submit a hidden Marketo form. This would be the best of both worlds and have acceptable scale. And your Filled Out Form activities would appear as usual.
