This winter, Workato was recognized across an unprecedented number of G2 Winter 2026 reports, spanning integration, orchestration, data, APIs, and embedded platforms. Rather than highlighting any single category, the bigger story is consistency across the entire enterprise automation stack.
Winter 2026 by the numbers:
This winter, Workato was recognized across a wide range of G2 categories spanning integration, orchestration, data, APIs, and embedded platforms.
- 45 #1 rankings across core enterprise categories
- 278 Top 3 placements, representing 96% of all reports
- 291 G2 Winter 2026 reports featuring Workato
The scale of this recognition matters. Enterprises rarely use one integration or automation capability in isolation. They operate across multiple systems, teams, and use cases, often with different levels of maturity. Consistent top-tier placement across hundreds of reports suggests that customers are standardizing on Workato as a platform, not just adopting it for a single function. That same platform foundation is increasingly what enterprises are looking to extend into AI and agents, where capabilities like Enterprise MCP are emerging as the next critical layer for securely connecting models, systems, and enterprise context.
Notable #1 Rankings Across Core Enterprise Categories
Among the 45 #1 rankings, several categories stand out because they represent foundational layers of enterprise operations. These are areas where reliability, governance, and scalability are non-negotiable.
#1 in iPaaS and Process Orchestration
Workato earned #1 placement in the Enterprise Grid® for iPaaS and Enterprise Grid® for Process Orchestration, reinforcing its role as a system of record for enterprise workflows.
This distinction matters as organizations move beyond simple integrations toward end-to-end orchestration. Enterprises are no longer focused on connecting applications alone. They are focused on coordinating multi-step processes that span applications, data, events, and people, all with visibility and control.
These rankings reflect customer confidence that Workato can support business-critical workflows with the operational rigor required in production environments.
#1 in Embedded Integration Platforms
Workato’s #1 rankings in the Grid® and Momentum Grid® for Embedded Integration Platforms highlight its growing role beyond internal IT teams.
More software companies are embedding integration, automation, and orchestration directly into their products to deliver better customer experiences and reduce friction. These rankings indicate that Workato is trusted not only as an enterprise platform, but also as an infrastructure layer that SaaS providers rely on to power customer-facing capabilities.
#1 Momentum in API Management, Data Replication, and Reverse ETL
Workato also achieved #1 Momentum rankings in API Management, Data Replication, and Reverse ETL, categories that reflect how enterprises are modernizing data movement and interoperability.
Rather than managing APIs, data pipelines, and operational systems as separate domains, organizations are consolidating them into unified platforms. Momentum rankings signal where adoption is accelerating, often as customers expand usage after initial deployment. In this case, they point to Workato’s role in supporting real-time operations, analytics, and AI-ready data flows.

#1 Momentum in Enterprise EDI
EDI remains one of the most operationally sensitive and compliance-driven parts of the enterprise. Workato’s #1 Momentum ranking in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) underscores its ability to modernize legacy processes while maintaining reliability and partner connectivity.
For industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and logistics, EDI cannot be treated as an isolated system. These rankings reflect how customers are bringing EDI into a broader orchestration strategy alongside APIs, event-driven systems, and automation.
Why This Matters for Enterprise Buyers
G2 categories are intentionally granular, reflecting how buyers evaluate software across different use cases and maturity levels. Appearing consistently across nearly 300 reports suggests that Workato is succeeding across teams, industries, and deployment models.
More importantly, it reflects a structural shift in how enterprises think about their automation and integration stack. Instead of assembling disconnected tools for integration, APIs, data, and automation, organizations are consolidating on platforms that can:
- Orchestrate end-to-end business processes
- Support both IT-led and business-led development
- Govern automation and AI centrally
- Scale reliably as usage expands
This shift is accelerating as enterprises prepare for more autonomous and AI-driven operations, where orchestration and governance become even more critical.
What the Winter 2026 Results Ultimately Show
Taken together, Workato’s performance across the G2 Winter 2026 reports tells a clear story about where enterprise architecture is headed.
Enterprises are no longer optimizing for individual tools or isolated use cases. They are standardizing on platforms that can support integration, orchestration, data movement, and governance as a single system. The fact that Workato ranked in 291 reports, placed in the Top 3 in 96% of them, and earned 45 #1 rankings across core categories reflects sustained customer confidence in that platform approach.
The #1 placements themselves reinforce this direction. Leadership in iPaaS and process orchestration points to Workato’s role as a backbone for enterprise workflows. Recognition across embedded platforms, APIs, data replication, reverse ETL, and EDI highlights how organizations are consolidating previously separate layers into a unified orchestration foundation.
This consistency matters as enterprises move from experimentation to execution with AI. As automation becomes more autonomous and agent-driven, the systems beneath it must be reliable, observable, and governed. Platforms that can only connect systems are no longer sufficient. Orchestration, context, and control are now foundational requirements.
Workato’s Winter 2026 results do not represent a momentary win or category anomaly. They reflect how customers are already using the platform today and why many are standardizing on Workato ONE as the foundation for enterprise operations now and into the next phase of AI adoption.
