Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects
I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

Intuitive automation streamlines workflows with room for more deployment options
The best features I appreciate about Workato are how intuitive it is, its low-code, no-code feature, and its true cloud-native environment where we don't need to worry about infrastructure settings and fine-tuning. Though I find the task-based usage in Workato challenging, requiring careful workflow design. The benefits from using Workato include automating workflows using the low-code approach, demonstrating while creating workflows, and making changes on the go. These capabilities enable faster delivery compared to our earlier work environments when using hybrid integration platform or MuleSoft. The delivery time has drastically improved using Workato because of its low-code feature and pre-built connectors which are very easy to use compared to MuleSoft. The ease of deployment is a distinct feature when compared to Tipco, MuleSoft, or any other integration tool. The delivery time is drastically reduced, allowing changes to be made immediately and demonstrated.
