In their latest report, G2 Crowd ranked various platforms in the Workplace Innovation Platform category, with Apple’s FileMaker emerging as the clear leader.

FileMaker beat several other well-known workplace platforms, including Google App Maker, Airtable, Salesforce Lightning, and others. FileMaker posted the highest combined score both in user reviews and market presence. A visual layout of the various performances of the workplace innovation platforms can be found here.

FileMaker boasted the highest overall score in several categories, importantly including workflow automation, data security, and native deployment. We at AppWorks love security, and you can read up on our best practices here.

G2 Crowd’s Workplace Innovation Platform is a new category, necessitating a universal definition to aid in classifying whether or not a software system is considered to be classified within this category. Workplace Innovation Platforms first and foremost allow for collaborative app development by both developers and non-developers. This is possible through the offering of both visual and full-stack development tools.

Workplace Innovation Platforms are designed primarily to help solve workflow issues not addressed by current applications and platforms, often by linking these external “appliance apps” (such as an accounting system, etc.) to the main workflow system. User-friendliness is a hugely important criterion within this category, as both developers and less tech-savvy individuals are able to contribute to the creation of a workplace innovation platform.
