Our take
Many businesses struggle with lack of team integration. There are a plethora of handy apps available, and various teams within businesses often use different processes, tools, and software. This has led to many businesses attempting to patch together technologies and create ad-hoc solutions that fail when they need to be scaled. Workato allows businesses to integrate data and apps so that teams can collaborate and communicate securely.
Workato has built a single platform that integrates apps, processes, data, and user experiences to improve efficiency, communication, and business flexibility. There are many integration platforms available, such as SnapLogic and Mulesoft Anypoint Platform, however, Workato has aimed its platform at users who have minimal technical experience, rather than the IT team.
Workato has continued to expand its partnerships and workforce, and is well set to see further growth as it innovates its product offerings and capabilities. The company was recognized as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Integration Platform as a Service, making five years it has participated and five years it has been recognized.
