Integration orchestration
One of the best integrations platform
What do you like best about the product?
Workato integration implementation is very easy, does not require any coding skills. You can just integrate the applications in minutes. As a boomi developer in past, I did not have any learning curve, it was that easy. It is quite impressive in its customer support and community. I reached out to customer support many times, and I was able to get my answers. In fact , support team helped me in technical review as well. Quite impressed with its features e.g., List, hash etc. In fact, formula modes in fields are great. As compared to boomi, where we need to configure quite big logic for complex transformations, here it can be done in a single formula field.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the functionalities are missing such as e.g., Salesforce lead conversion operation not available, application error code can not be directly accessed. As it recipe grows vertically, sometime it becomes difficult to match the code blocks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are implementing the Order to Cash process for client. It is great fit considering their business processes.
Exceptional Support Makes Workato Shine
What do you like best about the product?
I'm consistently impressed by Workato's incredibly responsive support team. Within minutes of an inquiry, a live person is there to ensure problems are solved, questions are answered, and recipes are working perfectly. Even as the company has grown, their support and attention to users haven't diminished.
What do you dislike about the product?
Workato can feel a little intimidating at first, and there's a bit of a learning curve, which might be challenging for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workato is solving the problem of needing to manually run and monitor scheduled SQL queries in one of our databases. Specifically, it automates the execution of these queries and, crucially, detects anomalies in the results. Instead of our team having to remember and take the time to perform these checks, Workato handles it.

Workato has quick time to value. The integrations and modern UI make it a tool you can use right out of the box.

Cost efficiency improves management through job reporting features and simplifies process creation
What is our primary use case?
I am an integration consultant, and I use Workato for integration. Recently, one of my clients wanted to migrate from using Workato to another platform, so I started exploring Workato to understand why it's attracting big clients. The focus has been on cost efficiency since the cost of other platforms is quite high. I noticed Workato is less expensive and offers similar integration capabilities.
What is most valuable?
I appreciate Workato's job reporting feature, which consolidates recipes and jobs for easy management. I also like the control over performance, cores, etc., and the simplicity of creating recipes. Workato has around 100 connectors, allowing anyone, even without an IT background, to work with them. Additionally, the platform resembles Salesforce in presenting both solutions and their benefits.
What needs improvement?
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. Although the drag-and-drop framework is easy, incorporating a coding language could enhance functionality.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Workato for at least three months.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
Deploying Workato was easy and clear. Although the components are good, I would like an IDE or similar tool to test recipes locally. Considering AI integration with agents in future releases would also be beneficial.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not observed any stability issues, but it should be tested with large files or data sets to determine its latency performance.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Workato lacks manual control over scalability. Their cluster management automatically calculates the necessary resources like VCores.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used other solutions previously but explored Workato when my client wanted to switch due to the high cost of those solutions.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward and fast. Connecting components took some time depending on the authentication method, such as OAuth 2.0 or JWT, but overall, it was easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Compared to integrators like Boomi or MuleSoft, Workato is priced reasonably. While Workato was a target for acquisition by Salesforce, its CEO declined the sale, but Salesforce is one of its investors.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Solutions evaluated include Boomi, MuleSoft, and Workato.
What other advice do I have?
For new users, having an IT background simplifies using Workato, especially regarding aspects like schedulers and connections. Those without an IT background should acquire basic IT knowledge. My overall ratings are eight for user experience and courses, ten for simplicity, and eight in terms of cost. I suggest creating academic projects or exercises for better learning. Although Workato is new in Europe, it shows potential for being cost-effective and time-saving. I rate the overall solution as eight.

Enables seamless integration and empowers non-technical staff with process creation
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use Workato to extend functionality to legacy systems. We employ Workato to orchestrate processes, gather information via other interfaces like Teams, and push it into our core systems. We also utilize Workato for onboarding processes, contractor management, and timesheets entries through Teams. Additionally, it is used for resource forecasting with Excel and Power BI, integration between our K2 system and Azure AD for identity management, and interfacing with external solutions for employee and project lists. Workato orchestrates Power BI for managing refreshes and notifications.
What is most valuable?
A key value of Workato is the democratization of its use. We've enabled more junior users to create and work with processes, extending usage beyond IT to non-technical staff. Workato is also highly reliable, and migrations require minimal effort. Noteworthy features include its drag and drop UI, numerous integrations, ease of creating new integrations via SDK, and the Copilot model. Workato's reliability and the ease of volume processing are invaluable, positioning it above alternatives like Microsoft Power Automate.
What needs improvement?
More features related to the application side would be handy. A larger library of community recipes and connectors around common but complex applications, such as Microsoft, could be beneficial, as they are often complicated to handle.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Workato for a little over two years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
The initial setup of Workato was straightforward. The environment wasn't new to us, and we partnered with a third party to quickly overcome the learning curve. The setup process was efficient, allowing us to deploy recipes within a week.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Workato is very stable. Once deployed, solutions do not break, making it more reliable than other solutions like Microsoft Power Automate that often disconnect.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I believe Workato is very scalable, as we have not encountered any limitations. It easily handles our volume requirements.
How are customer service and support?
Workato's technical support is excellent. They are available online for chat support and typically find solutions promptly. In cases needing escalation, responses are usually received within hours. The community around Workato is also influential, offering support and monthly meetings to address questions and share information.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using Microsoft Power Automate and custom automations. However, Power Automate was frequently disconnected, and relying on a single developer for custom solutions was complex. Workato proved to be a superior solution, offering greater reliability and ease of use.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was facilitated by a partner who helped us to quickly learn and implement Workato. We focused on specific tasks while some development was carried out by the partner and later handed over to us.
What about the implementation team?
We engaged a partner who assisted us in navigating the learning curve efficiently and built initial processes, which were then handed over for us to learn.
What was our ROI?
We know that we've improved processes, replacing formerly manual tasks. Workato provided spreadsheets for ROI calculations, but we haven't taken the time to assess it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Workato provided good value for money. We managed to negotiate a flexible deal that suited our needs, adjusting the initial offer for viability.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated Microsoft Power Automate and custom automations before choosing Workato.
What other advice do I have?
Based on my 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. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Workato a nine out of ten.
