Workato: they designed it with the customer in mind
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review

We use Workato to integrate with customer ERP software, marketplaces, transport partners, and even to modify internal data from within our own software (extract, modify, insert). Integration is the key to a successful enterprise. All our information is updated in real-time across all software. Workato made it easy for us to quickly adopt integration and make it a key component of our value offering.
From a tech perspective, I wanted the integration to be at arms-length and not connected to the software we're using internally. This way we can handle processing/transformation, move data into other software for analysis, and use third-party software more easily without impacting our core.

Workato is being used by the central IT/development department of the company and is an invaluable tool to bridge the gap between many pieces of software that Jumia uses for various purposes. We use Workato for a variety of situations, like listening to specific data events in some applications and triggering the appropriate actions, either in the same application or others or even in several applications at the same time (for instance, some JIRA changes trigger Zendesk updates and Slack notifications). We also use Workato to perform regular automated tasks to detect information patterns that are meaningful to the company for various reasons (for instance, some JIRA tickets are checked regularly to calculate performance KPIs, used in dev team's appraisals). Another use is to uphold the proper workflow and promote communication between teams (when certain things happen in Zendesk tickets, other teams are involved in the ticket automatically and Slack notifications are triggered). We have many many of these situations being covered by Workato recipes and using it doesn't occupy our dev teams, someone with only a fair knowledge of programming logic can use Workato's powerful yet simple interface and features.

Made me love programming again
We use Workato mainly as a way to integrate the different systems we have. Our strategy is based on finding the best possible solution for every problem or area we have, then integrate them. Examples of these problems are the billing process where taking hours logged in different applications (such as Jira, Daptiv, Harvest, etc.) and converting them into invoices, can take the information from Project Management, Accounts and Finance. Another example is to have information flowing to the right person at the right time, like identifying the problems we have in our processes and automating reminders or actions requests using Workato and Slack.

It's being used by my team, which is 10 people. It helps connect several apps like Salesforce and DocuSign to automate our processes. Workato has been really helpful for us—it cut down the time to service a loan in half.

Workato: Or how I saved my developers' time
As part of the IT organization, we utilize Workato to help us integrate different business systems together without using our developer resources. Workato recipes have allowed our administrators and other technical staff to create and update automation between systems like Salesforce, Marketo, Google Suite, Slack. Workato has allowed us to deliver features to our users much faster than in a standard development cycle.

Workato - It just works, beautifully!

We've solved quite a few business problems with Workato, that have made development at least 3X faster. We’re deeply integrated with the Shopify API, Twilio, Slack and Gmail. We use Workato to manage purchase orders, stock inventory, track refunds, send invoices, issue refunds, and many more business applications that Workato makes very easy. Workato has allowed our product analytics team to run reports on various user engagement statistics, order volumes, and much more. Recipe Ops to manage error handling and monitor that all our recipes are fully functioning is a critical feature that makes Workato a step above any competitors, and the obvious choice for API integrations.

Workato is THE TOOL for automation and integration

We purchased Workato only a few months ago.
We targeted it for the integrations and automations for our business processes for sales and manufacturing, connecting between NetSuite, Salesforce and JIRA.
It is very straightforward to set up integration via Workato, so we ended up connecting more applications to it, including some in-house applications with REST APIs.

Automate yourself out of a job with Workato!
Workato is currently being used by the People Team (HR) and IT for streamlining the automation during the new hire and on-boarding process. At the moment, it automates the creation of all users via a Google Form and creates a calendar invite for Finance, HR, IT, and the hiring manager. We are currently working on expanding it to work with our HRIS.

Workato has been a great tool for syncing online software
Workato was implemented by our business to connect our online Quickbooks account and our online CRM database.
It is a great tool, if you are experienced with writing and building recipes. It can be confusing when trying to get it started.
I recommend paying Workato to build the recipes for you as it can be quite timely.
Once it is in play, it is a great tool to use.
