What do you dislike about the product?
On the API side, it needs some work.
For small businesses, subscription fees could offer more flexibility
The ability of the Python connection to use libraries other than those that are already accessible is something I would like Workato to enable.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not found an efficient way to pass data across two different recipes. For that either use lookup or save data to some other files/system.
Lookup has a limitation of 10k rows.
Lookup table and Properties: The team members can either have full access or have no access. It should also be read-only access.
CVS parse has also a 50k limit.
Switch case or IF/ELSE IF/ELSE structure missing.

Chatbot to auto-response
It is an awesome no-code tool that helps you automate business processes and integrate business apps
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is very user-friendly and easy to use.
The data from API calls and APP actions are very well organized in the data pill. It helps a lot in mapping data for various integrations.
It stores the recent jobs data and also allows a user to repeat the job process with the same data when failed.
Customer support is also one of the best I've experienced so far. They are very quick to respond and provide accurate details and help with queries.
Apart from this Workato also offers free training and certifications.
There is a community library where developers publish different automation that comes in very handy sometimes.
One of the most useful features is Workato's real-time event-based triggers. This is the best Workato offers.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is no dependency graph or details available to sort out the dependency and tracking of CRUD operations on the lookup tables just like they provide for the connections.
There is no option to jump to jobs from a specific date in the past. When you have automation with hundreds of jobs every day, it is very hard to look for the past job while debugging because you have to keep going to the next pages and scroll to the bottom for each page.
The external database platform support is needed like MongoDB.
The most needed and useful feature we often use in programming is the while loop and loop break (on a certain condition) features. I often came to certain situations while building the automation where I must need to use these features in order to implement the logic and also reduce the complexity. But they don't provide it. I suggested it via customer support a quarter ago but I guess the support staff didn't pass the information to the Dev team.
There is a timeout limit of 90 minutes for an automation job. This is sometimes troublesome when we have to run automation that processes a larger amount of data/requests and can not be divided into multiple jobs, in this case, we can not automate such a process via Workato.
There is a limitation of reading CSV with maximum of 50000 records, but we often have to work with hundreds of thousands of records and parse them to process.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The major problem it is solving is the codeless development with such great reliability.
Of course if we go by programming each and every process, it will take a significantly huge amount of time and lots of debugging for a team to get started only. Still, they will not be able to build such featureful and reliable automation we can build using Workato.
There are people with good management skills and understanding of business processes but not proficient in coding and not having such a big team of Devs to build automation. For them, Workato is the ultimate tool to build automation and integrate applications to make business processes smooth and well automated.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. Watch out for the budget.
With Workato we are able to automate our workflow quickly
What do you like best about the product?
One of its main advantages is the integration with almost all known software. We have been able to make integrations with the rest of the software quickly and easily, without having to code or have knowledge of any kind. It is a cloud-based software with mobile access, so we can access it, as many times as we need, anywhere, with internet connection. The drag and drop tool is very useful in this software, to get all tasks and activities set up and scheduled faster and easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the technical support provides good material to achieve the integrations successfully, it is quite extensive and complicated to understand, which we had to require more time to get the software ready to use. I would like the system to provide some kind of information control by roles or restrict information to some users, and not everyone having access to all the information hosted in the system. Its price is somewhat high, since it only allows to integrate 3 applications with the basic plan, which raises the bill.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This has always been our software to easily and efficiently manage our workflow and the rest of the activities of the different departments. It allows integration with all the software we need to have all the information from different areas of the company in one place, all centralized, avoiding the leakage of important data. The program is quite intuitive, which makes it much more accessible to anyone. Its modules are quickly available and its interface design does not overwhelm or feel cluttered. It allows integration with many software of different categories, to have centralized all the information of projects and clients. Software with cloud access availability, being able to access from any computer or mobile device.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a very complete software, which has achieved a perfect assembly in our company, making all areas work as one. We love being able to use it and recommend it to other companies. It is very intuitive and easy to navigate and the technical support is always ready to help with any inconvenience. Particularly to our company this software has worked very well, although it is a little expensive, the price is worth it, since we have no leakage of data and important information, the departments work efficiently and projects are executed smoothly in a timely manner, avoiding delays and loss of money.
Solid IPaaS offering that enables much faster integration at scale
What do you like best about the product?
The embeddable widgets from Workato for gathering credentials for each system means that we don't need to own any of that process or infrastructure, saving a lot of time and engineering effort on credential management and security.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is always room to have more supported integrations, but that's likely to be a complaint for any customer of any IPaaS provider.

My company needs to build integrations into a high number of systems in a short period of time. Workato enables us to deliver at a velocity that would otherwise be impossible and makes our targets much more reachable

Smooth
What do you like best about the product?
The clarity on where things are
The possibility to have multiple envs with their own set of properties to test things before going to prod
The ability to copy and paste part of the recipes

What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the custom connector creation would be easier if more video tutorials could be shared to use as an example
Also it would be great to have some level of inheritance so maybe common logic could be reused as libraries in multiple recipes

For starters, the abstraction on handling the actual call to the provider
There is also the ability to have the same recipe being used by multiple clients, each with its own configuration
