Effortless Integration for Simple Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
We use Workato for light integrations that we can deploy quicker than with Boomi. I appreciate its lightweight design and ease of use. The integrations with Slack and Workday work great, being very seamless and easy to set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that looking at it from a developer's standpoint, Workato will always be that lightweight and easy to use platform. This is a strength but also a weakness. I don't think I'd ever use this for anything other than simple integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Workato for light integrations that deploy quickly and easily, unlike Boomi. Its lightweight design and ease of use stand out.
Intuitive Integration Tool with Room for AI Enhancement
What do you like best about the product?
I think Workato is pretty intuitive when it comes to working with the system, which makes it easier for me. I appreciate the basic integration options; they're pretty simple and easy to use. The initial setup was pretty easy, I think.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the AI feature could be improved. If I had the option to simply explain to the system what I need in simple words and it would generate itself, it would be much better than having to understand every part of the integration and create variables for every step.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Workato to integrate multiple information systems like Jira and Salesforce daily. It makes my project management more efficient.
Comprehensive Automation with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like how you can customize the job report in Workato. I also enjoy the comprehensive range of functions allowing for different outcomes. There are many features to do things differently, like lookup tables or data tables, which makes the experience rich and versatile.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. I think there should be a way to group different steps together visually in the editor without affecting the code. 2. It's frustrating to rerun the whole workflow when I just want to test a change in a specific step. 3. I also wish I could comment on multiple steps at once instead of individually. 4. Additionally, it would be great if the workflow apps were more flexible, for example being able to edit or delete the main page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I automate workflows for the company i work for with Workato, building flows and integrating platforms and actions together.
Versatile Tool with Room for More AI and No-Code Features
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, broad use cases for security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enough AI and needed more low/no codeability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
data integration between system, automation
Great App Support, But Flexibility Could Improve
What do you like best about the product?
The wide variety of supported applications
What do you dislike about the product?
Some restrictions towards the flexibility of how you interact with the data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It resolves the issue of cross platforms which is beneficial in integrating the whole experience
Centralized Metrics Make Integration Management Easier, But Room for More
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy that Workato provides centralized metrics and logging across various different integrations, allowing me to get a pulse on multiple client offerings in one place. Additionally, the low-code aspect makes it easy for support experts to manage integrations rather than developers needing to maintain them indefinitely.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the stringent constraints sometimes imposed by Workato development, specifically regarding data types and the availability of certain operations. At times, the platform defeats its own purpose by making a task that would take minutes through traditional coding take much longer. Additionally, initial integration of Workato with our platform was painstaking and required a good length of time working with their technical experts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using Workato, my company would develop traditional ASP.Net and Web integrations, which would require Developer intervention to support indefinitely. By offering the low-code solution, Workato has solved this problem, offloading this maintenance work to our Support team rather than eating up Developer time.
Efficient Integrations with Room for Simpler Data Handling
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Workato for its robust capability to integrate with a variety of third-party applications, which significantly enhances my workflow. The feature I particularly admire is the ease with which I can set up daily triggers. This functionality is crucial to my daily tasks, allowing me to automate processes efficiently, such as triggering an API call to fetch data and subsequently transferring it to a database. This automation saves me time and effort, enhancing my productivity and ensuring my tasks run smoothly. Additionally, based on my experiences, I find Workato to be user-friendly for new team members who weren't involved in the initial setup, allowing them to adapt quickly and contribute effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to create data pills in Workato. Sometimes, when dealing with JSON responses formatted in an array, it can be difficult to intuitively create the necessary list data pill.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Workato for seamless integrations, automating daily tasks like triggering API calls and updating databases, which significantly enhances efficiency.
Robust Integrations and Flexibility, But Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Strong integration library and connectors. Works with many popular apps. Low code/no code approach. Offers governance, security, hybrid options, which matter for larger organisations. Beyond simple “if this then that”, it can embed AI, handle data orchestration, decision logic, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s expensive for smaller teams or heavy usage; pricing isn’t always transparent. Though low code, some advanced workflows or integrations still require technical expertise. There are few occasional performance or scaling issues, especially in complex data loads.Because we build on their “recipes” and connectors, moving off or switching platforms may be harder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us connect different apps, systems and data & automate workflows between them, so no need to manually move data, write glue code, or rely on lots of one off scripts.
Useful Automation with Frustrating Limitations
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate Workato's ability to run short, uncomplicated Python scripts (without the ability to download packages). This feature significantly simplifies workflow compared to relying solely on commonly used functions, making my tasks much easier. The capacity to manipulate data frames directly and efficiently eliminates the need to spend extra time on data aggregation or filtering, streamlining my operations and enhancing productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that iteration doesn't work smoothly in Workato, which can disrupt the flow of automations. The full output being clipped is another frustrating limitation, as it prevents me from accessing all the data I need for comprehensive analysis. Additionally, I encounter many bugs frequently, which adds to the frustration. The way folder names are related to roles feels restrictive and not intuitive. Overall, my experience working with Workato is less favorable compared to Make.com, which I previously used. The initial setup was also challenging; single sign-on (SSO) didn't function initially, leading to numerous try-outs and migration issues. also, their internal debugger doesn't work all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Workato for automations and integrations, simplifying app combinations and data manipulation without manual data aggregation or filtering.
Powerful Automation with a User-Friendly Edge
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitive no-code/low-code interface makes it easy for both technical and non-technical users to build workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing can be a barrier for smaller teams or startups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workato is helping us eliminate repetitive manual tasks by automating workflows across multiple tools and departments. Instead of jumping between CRM, marketing platforms, spreadsheets, and internal systems, we can connect them seamlessly through a single platform. The AI-powered recipe suggestions speed up the automation-building process, so we spend less time coding and more time delivering value. This has improved operational efficiency, reduced human errors, and given our team more time to focus on strategic projects rather than routine data entry.
