Workato

For simple, low data volume integrations where a prebuilt recipe is available, it can be used by Data Analysts, Business Analysts, or power users in finance or other departments to build simple integrations or connect to APIs.

Workato is suitable for every company that uses SaaS solutions with API capabilities. Workato is also very good for companies that have limited resources for software developers as Workato doesn't require coding knowledge in order to create a workflow.
Workato will suit companies that looking to automate their business process.
Workato might not fit very small companies or companies with lagcy-only systems.

Workato is well suited for integrations involving APIs (web services), cloud data sources and direct database connections. Their on-premise agent for connecting to internal databases from outside your network works extremely well.

Despite the way Workato is marketed, it really requires someone with programming knowledge and a good understanding of programming/data flow to operate it. A general office user does not understand lists/arrays, functions and other data concepts. Unless it is an incredibly simple data job, this will require an IT person.

Workato is brilliant to make separate applications work together without much effort or specialists being needed. When specific events on software A should trigger actions on B (or more) and you want that to happen without any development or big budgets, that's where Workato comes into play. It's a great help if you want tasks automated, communications flowing and data synced between different applications.

Well Suited

• Business Process Work Flows, File Management, Small/Medium # of Records Queried (<~1000)
  
• Closing a sales deal in system one kicks off work flows in system two for implementation
• Notification of key events in system one via text, outlook event, etc
• While I note management of two-way integrations needs improvement, it is a strength of Workato and easier to set up here than in any other tool.
• Support for connectors business processes require (Docusign, Dropbox, Outlook, Quick Base, Salesforce, etc)

Needs Improvement -

• Management of two-way integrations. It's often a bit of a struggle to create the appropriate fields in both systems to ensure redundant jobs are not run nor infinite loops created. That said, Workato does provide some documentation to counter this.
• Working with Large Data Sets (1000+)
