Enterprise grade integration platform
Integration support simplifies automation and reduces errors without existing frustrations
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Workato is to do the maintenance of some BPA automation processes, building a recipe for everything in the process to make everything go smarter and faster. It works better than themselves.
One of those weekly automation processes uses a lot of approvals in the process, and I use Workato to define these approvers, set them, and check if everything goes well.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
At this moment, I do not remember anything I would see as an improvement.
I chose this number, 8.5, because if I would give a higher score, Workato should improve in some areas.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for one and a half years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I think it is easy to scale up in Workato because you can build flows with many actions and steps, allowing you to create big processes with many phases. I think that is very easy to scale up.
How are customer service and support?
I have never had to contact customer support, so I do not have any experience with them.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Workato, I used the native solutions of the platform called Pipefy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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. However, today, it is a good experience because the client has an unlimited license, allowing me to do everything I want in Workato, creating many different types of flows and complex processes.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate other options before choosing Workato. Workato is very stable, and I would like to keep using it.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Workato is to read the documentation of the platform to know how to use the actions, how to use the tasks, what to input, and what comes in the output. I think that by reading this documentation, you can understand faster how the platform works and do many different things more quickly.
At this moment, we are a reseller of Workato, but we do not have close contact.
I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review, and I have no additional thoughts about Workato before we wrap up.
