Featured Reviews

Eugene Paden - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.
Rohit Sircar - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"The maturity of the product is significant."
"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
 

Cons

"Documentation could be improved."
"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"There are stability issues."
"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."
"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."
"It is an expensive platform."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"Approximately 20k annually."
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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."
