Workato’s enterprise reach, with budgets and approvals in the engine.

Workato is an enterprise integration and automation platform with a long list of certifications on its own security pages. Teams look at OCNORA when they want to run the platform in their own cloud, cap AI spend per tenant, put approvals inside the workflow graph, or serve many customers from one control plane. Every Workato statement below is quoted from Workato’s own pages, with the date we read it.

Every Workato figure on this page is quoted from a page Workato publishes, and links to it with the date we read it (oldest: 2026-09-28). OCNORA numbers are counted from the running catalogue on 2026-09-22. We do not state what Workato lacks — only what each of us publishes.

What OCNORA adds

The governance layer, as part of the engine.

These are statements about OCNORA, not about anyone else. Check them against the other vendor yourself — we would rather you did.

  • AI budgets per tenant

    Token and USD caps per workspace, per provider and per workflow, with threshold alerts and a circuit breaker that stops spend rather than warning about it after the fact.

  • Workflow Health before the first run

    A validation, pre-flight and dry run that checks connections, hosts, expressions and unknowable values before a workflow is ever allowed to touch production — plus an Auto Fix worker for what it can repair safely.

  • Human-in-the-loop as a node

    An approval step is part of the graph, not a webhook you wire up yourself. The run parks, the approver sees the payload, and the decision lands in the audit log.

  • A multi-tenant control plane

    One installation serves many customers: per-tenant budgets, plugins, secrets and licences, with JIT SSO when the builder is embedded inside your own product.

  • An audit record of every mutation and run step

    Every change and every step input, output and decision is recorded, with envelope-encrypted secrets and PII crypto-shred.

  • 21 UI languages

    The builder and the dashboard ship translated, not machine-substituted at render time.

Being fair

When Workato is the better choice.

We would rather you pick the right tool than pick us and regret it.

  • Procurement requires SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS

    Workato states SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, ISO 27001, 27701 and 42001, and PCI-DSS v4.0.1 Level 1. OCNORA documents its controls and shares them under NDA, and holds no third-party attestation.

  • You automate over health or payment card data

    Workato states HIPAA compliance and PCI-DSS v4.0.1 Level 1 service provider status. If your workflows carry PHI or cardholder data and you want that covered by the vendor, Workato is the better fit today.

  • You need a vendor-run cloud in a named region

    Workato lists regional data centers in the U.S., E.U., Japan, Singapore, China, Israel, Australia and Korea that keep data in-region. OCNORA publishes no OCNORA Cloud region; the region is yours to choose only when you self-host.

If none of those are blockers and you need per-tenant budgets, approvals in the engine, a health check before the first run, or one control plane for many customers, OCNORA is the shorter path. See the product or enterprise, or compare against something else.

Where every Workato figure came from

This site states nothing about Workato that is not printed on a page Workato publishes. Each source below was read on the date shown. Where a capability is not on this page, it means we could not source it from Workato — not that Workato lacks it. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
