What does it mean to be a Leader in Gartner 2019 Magic Quadrant for API Full Life Cycle Management?

Gartner 2019 Full Life Cycle API Management

APIs and microservices connect today’s modern enterprises and applications. However, IT is struggling to keep up with the pace of digital transformation that requires connectivity to an overwhelming number of APIs, applications, data and services. The challenge grows even more when needing to secure and govern these APIs and integrations when opened for internal and omnichannel consumption. And then, IT reaches a breaking point when their “surface area” spans private, public and hybrid cloud architectures.

As we look to the future, the challenges will only become more acute for enterprises. To address today’s challenges, and get ahead of the competition, enterprises need an API Platform that enables IT and developers to secure and manage APIs through their full lifecycle, to build ecosystems and modern applications, and centrally govern an on-premise, cloud and multi-cloud API infrastructure.
