Workato Wins Best Integration Product for Product Managers in the 2021 Proddy Awards

Workato recognized as the top integration platform by Product School for its ability to embed into other products and enable connectivity to thousands of applications

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Workato, the leading Enterprise Automation platform, announced today that it has been awarded Best Integration Product at the 4th annual Proddy Awards. The Proddys, curated by Product School, are the gold standard awards for the product management community. They provide recognition for top digital products that offer the most value for product teams across several disciplines.

Workato makes its Proddy debut just one week after Workato announced a Series E round of funding of $200M with a $5.7 billion valuation. Workato is doubling down on the low-code approach to enterprise automation that propelled the platform to it’s debut Proddy win. Instead of relying on developers to build and maintain native integrations companies can easily embed Workato into their product. With the Workato Embedded Platform product teams can:

• Easily offer their customers integrations to thousands of the top applications and databases
• Create additional value with in-product process automations
• Preserve engineering team focus for core product features

“Workato Embedded lets companies embed the power of Workato in their own applications. It lets product teams take advantage of all the work that Workato has done in building connections to 1000+ SaaS apps, databases, and APIs, and the robust capabilities they have around things like security, rollbacks, conditional logic, and scalability,” said Neeraj Agrawal, a general partner at Battery Ventures, which led Workato’s recent Series E fundraise. “Building bespoke integrations for customers lengthen deal cycles and take away precious time from your engineers, and it is exciting to see more companies realize the upside in outsourcing this.”

"Integrations serve a key role in powering up personalized conversational journeys for our customers, but we needed to find a sustainable way to tackle these requests at scale. Embedding a market-leading iPaaS like Workato allows us to keep our engineers focused on core product innovation, while delivering quality, critical integrations and valuable automations to our customers," said Ekta Gulati, Senior Product Manager at LivePerson.

Every year, Product School nominates hundreds of exceptional digital products to the Proddy Awards. The shortlist this year included both fast-growing startups as well as Fortune 500 companies. It included solutions that cover all aspects of the product development cycle from A/B testing to integration to user research. To determine the winner of each product category, Product School collected votes from thousands of product managers around the world.

As product leaders embrace the market need for integrated solutions, Workato’s Embedded Platform has seen rapid adoption by product teams in diverse industries. The business unit has been averaging 250% growth year over year for the past three years.

“Integration has become a fundamental requirement for any application. Today, product leaders need a flexible, powerful, and comprehensive integration that they can trust for their most mission-critical processes without coding from the ground up,” said Gautham Viswanathan, Chief Product Officer at Workato. “It is great to receive recognition from product managers aligned with our growth. We will continue supporting teams seeking a powerful yet easy-to-use solution to solve customer-facing integrations at scale.”

This isn’t the first time users have recognized Workato for excellence. Workato is also the only 2021 Gartner Customer’s Choice in North America for Enterprise iPaaS. In addition, analysts have chosen Workato as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant and Workato maintains a presence on the Deloitte Fast 500 and the Forbes Cloud 100 for top private cloud companies.
