"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."

"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."

"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"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."
