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.

Integration support simplifies automation and reduces errors without existing frustrations
In Workato, I can see everything that goes behind the process. You can see how everything works, how the tool works in the background. If something goes bad and an error appears, I can see why it happened. The best features Workato offers, in my opinion, are the easy integration with many different types of tools. The Workato interface is so easy to use. Workato has impacted my organization positively by reducing errors, which is one of the most important improvements I can see, and one great thing is that in Workato I can do many things that the main BPA platform we use does not do. Error reduction has helped our team in Workato as we can see more details about the most common errors and what makes everything go bad. With this specific data, we can develop a new and better solution. Workato helped us to do this. We can see more details about the errors and solve them. Workato has improved a lot of my work because there I can develop many flows easier and faster. At this moment, I do not have anything that frustrates me.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

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."
"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 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."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"Moreover, AI automation simplifies integration development by understanding requirements from prompts and creating the necessary automation."
"Workato is less expensive and offers similar integration capabilities."
"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."
"I would recommend Workato because everyone is moving away from writing extensive code."
 

Cons

"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
"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."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"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."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"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."
"Workato could be improved by adding a proper debugging feature. Currently, there's no way to set breakpoints to stop the process and debug an error as you can in other tools like webMethods."
"There are storage limitations in Workato. The event streams come with a limitation of only 512 KB."
"From a technical standpoint, the security features at the data orchestration level could be more organized, and improvements in certificate management are necessary."
"Though I find the task-based usage in Workato challenging, requiring careful workflow design."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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