Why Workato is Furthest in Vision
We believe Workato’s innovation supports strong customer outcomes. Leading organizations like Nasdaq, Samsara, Vodafone, Amazon, and Lucid Motors choose Workato to power their most critical operations—and we keep pace by building for their evolving needs.
Our customer outcomes, we feel, are a validation of our ability to execute on this vision. Workato received an overall rating of a 4.8 out of 5.0, based on 42 reviews, as of August 31, 2025, in the Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Integration Platform as a Service, and is recommended by 95% of customers.
The next generation of iPaaS: agentic orchestration
“AI is changing expectations for the iPaaS market, driving innovation and creating demand for new capabilities to support integration requirements coming from AI initiatives. This evaluation reviews 18 leading vendors to help buyers identify platforms best aligned with their business goals.”
— 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for iPaaS
iPaaS has become the dominant integration platform thanks to its cloud affinity, versatility, and strong enterprise capabilities, and is now the default choice for new integration initiatives. The new major opportunity for vendors is AI, in two ways.
In the short term, by leveraging AI in their iPaaS to make it even faster, more productive, and democratized to build integration processes. Extending iPaaS capability to address new AI orchestration requirements, such as AI workflows, AI agent orchestration, AI gateways, and composite AI, is the long term opportunity. In that context, support to emerging standards such as MCP provides organizations the opportunity to build a vendor-neutral bridge between the AI world and third-party enterprise systems.
We believe the future of iPaaS is more than integration—it’s agentic orchestration that brings together systems, people, and AI into a unified, intelligent platform for executing the next generation of intelligent business processes.
Workato ONE is built for exactly this shift. It’s an agentic stack designed to serve as the foundation of your enterprise architecture, bringing automation, integration, and AI into a single, cohesive platform.
Organizations can no longer afford to treat these capabilities as separate, standalone efforts. AI experimentation, integration infrastructure, business process automation, observability, governance, and security must operate as a unified architecture, instead of disconnected initiatives running in parallel.
Workato ONE brings it all together through four core enterprise capabilities.
Enterprise orchestration: Connect AI agents to your data, apps, and systems, and coordinate how they work alongside existing workflows to execute real business processes.
Enterprise context: Give agents the ability to reason and act within the specific context of your business: your data models, your processes, your policies.
Enterprise skills: Empower AI agents (“Genies”) with deterministic, repeatable, and verifiable skills across enterprise applications.
Enterprise trust: Wrap it all in security, governance, observability, and reliability. Agentic initiatives can’t succeed without guardrails.
Here’s how automation approaches like RPA and BPM, as well as integration essentials like iPaaS and API management (APIM), fit into the Workato ONE architecture. As you can see, they’re all represented.
We believe that Workato’s unified platform is highly beneficial for customers, as we find it minimizes migration effort, gives users rapid access to new features, and accelerates time to value while reducing operational overhead. Workato comes at our agentic products from an iPaaS perspective, for strong connectivity and reusability.
One modern platform to orchestrate data, applications, processes, experiences, and AI agents
Workato has made 1000+ product releases in the past year, aimed at bringing more customer use cases under the umbrella of our agentic orchestration platform. A highlight reel of major releases includes:
MCP Gateway, the secure control layer between your AI applications and your business systems that ensures AI applications can act safely, intelligently, and at scale within your enterprise architecture. It exposes Genies, APIs, and more as MCP tools with enterprise features like runtime user authentication and policy-based access control. It introduces low code development capabilities that let you rapidly implement composite skills by orchestrating APIs, events, data, and processes in repeatable workflows.
Agent Studio, where you can build, deploy, and govern AI agents with enterprise skills. The studio includes Agent Knowledge Base, a memory layer that unifies business data into a single, context-rich source of truth.
Workato GO, an Enterprise Search engine that combines real-time, permission-aware discovery with the ability to take action.
Managed File Transfer is an automation solution that’s designed to transfer files and take additional actions on those files. MFT offers secure, automated data transfer across systems, partners, and clients.
Workato EDI powered by Orderful brings advanced EDI functionality into Workato, so that customers with large partner networks can combine the real-time connectivity of EDI with powerful automation.
Data Pipelines, a scalable solution for replicating data from business systems to destinations like Snowflake and Databricks. It allows builders to map multiple objects within a single pipeline, featuring parallel execution for speed and automatic schema evolution to manage changes gracefully.
AIRO is an AI assistant for your enterprise architecture. It consists of a fleet of agents that can update recipes based on natural language requests, or suggest ways to improve the outcomes, costs, performance, and security of your systems.
These advancements reflect a fundamental shift in how enterprises operate. As AI makes its way into the enterprise’s central workflows, the ability to direct AI’s access and abilities through an enterprise control plane layer is increasingly necessary. Here’s a representation of where that control plane sits:
We believe Workato’s position as a Leader and Furthest in Vision reinforces our certainty that we’re meeting the moment when it comes to agentic orchestration. iPaaS provides the essential foundation of connectivity, automation, data integration, and security that makes strategic AI adoption possible. As we look ahead, we remain focused on the success of our customers and what they achieve with Workato.
