Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work
The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

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.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by reducing the need for a big team of data engineers and speeding up the work when we need to connect to a new data source; this can happen really fast."
"The main benefit Rivery brought to my organization was the time we were able to save on development, and by using all these automation features provided by Rivery together with integration to Snowflake, we were able to solve problems."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by helping me streamline my data ingestion and transformation processes, especially in combination with Snowflake."
"Anyone looking into using Rivery should know it is a great product."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to create a stable pipeline, and we can expand the variety of the data sources as we go very easily, with no worries, and with a lot of confidence in the fact that it can be done."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
"The process of using Rivery has worked very smoothly for me, and I found the tool very easy to use, allowing me to gain a lot of insights."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"I would recommend Workato because everyone is moving away from writing extensive code."
"Workato is less expensive and offers similar integration capabilities."
"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 initial setup was very easy."
"I absolutely think it is worth the money to have Workato as a tool."
"Workato allows us to streamline our operations by replacing multiple legacy systems with a single integrated platform."
 

Cons

"Rivery can be improved by generally investing a bit more depth into the product, mainly in orchestration and specific features comparable to mature products."
"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was unfortunately not so good in my recent data project."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"I think Rivery could be improved by having more analytical features inside."
"As an end user of Rivery, I would like to see it be less commercial for users."
"The key challenges I recall were related to the incremental merging logic, which was not functioning properly."
"I have observed some minor stability issues with Workato, particularly related to connectors failing occasionally and delays in report sending."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"Workato could be improved by adding a proper debugging feature. Currently, there's no way to set breakpoints to stop the process and debug an error as you can in other tools like webMethods."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"From a technical standpoint, the security features at the data orchestration level could be more organized, and improvements in certificate management are necessary."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"In Workato, there are some limitations regarding very high transactional data in file formats. For instance, we have a 90-minute job timeout, and queues larger than 10,000 size will be purged."
"The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
"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."
