Fast support, good data ingestion, and a nice UI
I am happy with the product. It has solved our business challenges. It is easy to integrate into multiple sources. We did have to use a data transformation tool which would take months to map and transform data that was being dumped into our secure file transfer. Previously, by the time we finished ingesting the data, it was no longer relevant. This has since changed. Therefore, there are no areas needed for improvement.

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.

"It has improved our integration with our data supplier."
"The solution has increased efficiency and productivity and saved us time and money."
"Being able to seamlessly make changes to how one can do mapping visually without having to be a seasoned developer is great."
"The Flowgear tool is helping us reduce the manual work that is done."
"Great for data flow."
"The no-code visual front end, along with pre-built samples, allows someone with very little technical ability to get an integration up and running."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"The best feature of Workato that I especially appreciate is its low-code, no-code platform, enabling us to primarily use these methods even when client's requirements are atypical."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Workato has positively impacted my organization by improving processes overall, as it has saved time because it was easy to connect through the UI without needing technical, detailed coding experience."
"I definitely recommend Workato to others; it is the best product in our technology stack, allowing us to integrate legacy systems and address diverse requirements."
"The features of Workato are very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."

Cons

"We would like to see more learning videos for beginners."
"The product would be nice if it could provide the deployment features in the lower packages."
"The product needs to improve the self-help tools and samples."
"The UI could be improved."
"The initial setup was a bit complex as we were new."
"Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required."
"The software itself needs to keep up with the daily demand to service all clients as the need arises."
"The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities could be improved."
"The data flow and debugging processes need improvement, especially for tracing issues. Additionally, Workato struggles with scalability when handling high volumes of data, such as terabytes, requiring chunking for initial data loads."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"Integrating on-prem applications is challenging, even though they have an on-prem agent."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was a bit challenging in the past because the client I was working for did not have an unlimited license to use unlimited tasks and could not create many different processes and flows in Workato."
"There are storage limitations in Workato. The event streams come with a limitation of only 512 KB."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Workato is an expensive solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
