A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users
The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

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.

Pros

"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."
"I would recommend Workato because everyone is moving away from writing extensive code."
"Moreover, AI automation simplifies integration development by understanding requirements from prompts and creating the necessary automation."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Workato reduces total development time as it generates code seamlessly and integrates with SQL databases or APIs through configuration."
"The recipe-driven automation in Workato is very impressive; for the same client project, we extracted purchase orders from emails and pushed them into the file system, and the automation worked as expected without any issues with the Workato email connector."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
 

Cons

"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."
"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities could be improved."
"Though I find the task-based usage in Workato challenging, requiring careful workflow design."
"I have observed some minor stability issues with Workato, particularly related to connectors failing occasionally and delays in report sending."
"There are areas of Workato that have room for improvement, and they continue to develop their AI capabilities."
"From a technical standpoint, the security features at the data orchestration level could be more organized, and improvements in certificate management are necessary."
"Currently, Workato is a low-code platform without native programming capabilities. I would appreciate having a dedicated programming language for tasks like transformations and functional programming."
"The data flow and debugging processes need improvement, especially for tracing issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't pay for a license."
"Workato is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
