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.

Great automation and strong workflows useful for integration
The initial setup is quite straightforward. When connecting Workato with your on-premises system, you have to install the Workato agent on your network. It was not complex but a long process to configure and settle. Workato has not gone live for us yet, so only the developers are currently using it. But in terms of users, we will have close to 250 and maybe 30 additional direct users. We are seeing a lot of different use cases where we can add new recipes because we started small, and there are many different areas where we can implement Workato for automation.

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."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"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 most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"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."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"Workato allows us to streamline our operations by replacing multiple legacy systems with a single integrated platform."
"I absolutely think it is worth the money to have Workato as a tool."
"I would recommend Workato because everyone is moving away from writing extensive code."
 

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."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"I have observed some minor stability issues with Workato, particularly related to connectors failing occasionally and delays in report sending."
"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."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"One area for improvement is the CI/CD pipeline, which lacks a version control system similar to GitHub for easier deployment."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
