Fast support, good data ingestion, and a nice UI
I am happy with the product. It has solved our business challenges. It is easy to integrate into multiple sources. We did have to use a data transformation tool which would take months to map and transform data that was being dumped into our secure file transfer. Previously, by the time we finished ingesting the data, it was no longer relevant. This has since changed. Therefore, there are no areas needed for improvement.

Intuitive automation streamlines workflows with room for more deployment options
The best features I appreciate about Workato are how intuitive it is, its low-code, no-code feature, and its true cloud-native environment where we don't need to worry about infrastructure settings and fine-tuning. Though I find the task-based usage in Workato challenging, requiring careful workflow design. The benefits from using Workato include automating workflows using the low-code approach, demonstrating while creating workflows, and making changes on the go. These capabilities enable faster delivery compared to our earlier work environments when using hybrid integration platform or MuleSoft. The delivery time has drastically improved using Workato because of its low-code feature and pre-built connectors which are very easy to use compared to MuleSoft. The ease of deployment is a distinct feature when compared to Tipco, MuleSoft, or any other integration tool. The delivery time is drastically reduced, allowing changes to be made immediately and demonstrated.
