What do you like best about Workato?

It has a huge number of connectors and functionality. I can pretty much do anything I want in terms of data extraction and refinement. Source platforms limitations sometimes make it a bit hard to complete tasks, but you can always find a workaround for that using Workato. I love having access to older versions and different types of webhooks. That makes work much easier and productive. Lastly, I like using datapills when building a recipe and having access to so many formulas. This helps to format the data before sending it to the target platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workato?

If I need to finds specific records in the past jobs, I cannot search all jobs. I need to know exactly the time when the record was processed in Workato to find the right job to get access to the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workato solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Workato to transfer data from many different source platforms into our marketing automation platform. All the source platforms are using different formats and different ways to send data, so Workato helps us to format everything in a way, that is aligned with the target platform. We can test data before shifting to production. Workato can handle large volumes of data. A large number of connectors allows us to connect to pretty much any platform and extract data reliably 24/7.

What do you like best about Workato?

We switched from Zapier to Workato about 2 years ago. It's been a fantastic upgrade for our client solutions. I like how it handles whatever we throw at it - from super simple data transfers to complex integrations where we've added custom code.

The platform gives us a ton of flexibility when connecting different systems together, which is crucial since each client has unique needs. After setup, integrations are rock solid - no more worrying about connections dropping or data getting lost. For our team building custom solutions across many industries, this reliability has been a huge win. We're currently supporting millions of transactions a year using the Workato platform.

Once understood, implementations are smooth and reliable. We've not needed to leverage customer support. The documentation is straightforward and robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workato?

The pricing model can be challenging to navigate, particularly understanding how usage is calculated and billed. When planning for client projects, it's sometimes difficult to accurately forecast costs, which creates budgeting uncertainties. A more transparent approach to usage-based pricing or better estimation tools would be beneficial. The learning curve can also be steep for new team members, though the investment in learning the platform ultimately pays off in capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workato solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workato solves our integration challenges by connecting various business systems seamlessly for our clients. Before Workato, we struggled with limited integration capabilities, unreliable connections, and scalability issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workato?

Workato is easy to use once you get to know it. The ability to connect my very focused multimedia asset management tools via APIs and webhooks is super useful. I am a post production project manager and we have a number of systems that need to be connected to enable our remote users to get their work done. A lot of whats involved is sharing links to videos, updating google sheets and updating Monday.com boards - often with the same information. We are almost finished desigining a system where both the google sheets and Monday boards are kept in sync via workato recipes that map the data by column, and in some cases the changes to the google sheet are automatically triggered by events in our Media Access Management system - via webhooks and another recipe. Workato is making it easy for us to transform the RAW json data coming from the webhook into actionable data for google sheets, then remap that data the columns and sync it to Monday.com! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workato?

The learning curve was pretty steep, but starting with a simple recipe helped. Initially I found the error handling logic difficult to get my head around. But a combination of using AI helpers and support from Workator developers allowed me to understand it's importance. From there I was able to move onto more complicated data transformation recipes and build my own error handling into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workato solving and how is that benefiting you?

Workato helped me to work out how to use webhooks to trigger workflows (which I don't use that offten). Previously I have used tools like IFTTT but I progressed pretty quickly from the simple logic that they provided. Workato has all these great data transformation features that helped me to shift data around and map differing fields so they play nice together. A great example was connecting Monday.com boards to google sheets and automatically upding column data based on changes - in both directions. This is important as some other workflow tools only connect sheets and Monday in a single direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nikki Salvie Clarin of Workato

Hi there,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Workato! It's awesome to hear how you've leveraged the platform to connect Monday.com boards with Google Sheets, helping you manage data updates in both directions. That’s a pretty neat way to keep everything synchronized!

It’s also great to know that Workato has empowered you to handle webhooks and workflow triggers, even if you use them less frequently. Your journey to mastering Workato’s features is exactly the kind of growth we love to see.

We're really glad to hear that despite the initial challenges with the learning curve and error handling, you found the AI helpers and the support from our team useful. It sounds like you’ve made some great progress, moving from basic to more complex data transformation recipes. We can't wait to see what you'll automate next, and if you need any help, we're here to support you along the way.

Cheers,

Nikki, CX Analyst @ Workato

What do you like best about Workato?

Workato's recipe editor is fluid, intuitive, and easily customizable when you need something more than an out-of-the-box solution. Upgrades and updates are frequent and the company is full of friendly, helpful people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workato?

If it can be considered a flaw, Workato's support infrastructure is a bit complex: they have a knowledge base, forums, CSRs, QA developers, and in some accounts a Solutions Consultant. Who/what to turn to for which issues one may have can be its own learning curve and/or frustration. Additionally, there is a class of error (Workato-side resource overage) that will not show an audit trail for the end user to troubleshoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workato solving and how is that benefiting you?

The heaviest lifting Workato does for us is orchestrating video conferencing scheduling for our clients while updating our CRM and cloud storage services across multiple disparate platforms. We also utilize Workato as a source of truth determiner, propagating data from a master platform to all relevant subsidiaries. Both of these functionalities result in significant reduction in hours spent, as well as human error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nikki Salvie Clarin of Workato

Hi there,

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled that you find the UI intuitive and easily customizable and enjoy building recipes with us.

We appreciate your feedback on the complexity of our support infrastructure.

If there's any other way we can help, please don't hesitate to reach out. Our team is always here to support you.

We’re so excited to see what more we can build together!

What do you like best about Workato?

No-code low-code platform that helps non-technical people to pick-up quickly and start building automations.

Top-to-bottom approach of the recipes that exactly depicts the flow charts helps anybody to pick-up the tool easily. Unlike other tools which cause some confusion on the terminology, but workato is using the exact programming terminology which helps a technical person to learn the tool easily.

The customer support was very helpful in resolving my issues and also helped me in learning the techniques of debug, writing complex formulas et., My clients are using the tool for most of their ETL and Business process automations across all cost centers. Citizen developer program, suggested by workato was really helpful for POs and stakeholders to easily pickup the tool and implement the automation on their easily.

The tools it provides helps in implementation of our integration very easily. I coundn't imagine a day at work without using workato. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
