IBM Named Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for API Management for Eleventh Year
IBM has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for API Management, marking its 11th consecutive year in this position. This recognition is seen as a testament to IBM's commitment to innovation and advancement in API management.
The increasing role of AI in application development and consumption has created new requirements for enterprise API programs. These include helping developers build high-quality APIs faster with AI, applying governance and policy enforcement earlier in development, making existing APIs discoverable by AI agents, and governing interactions across agents, models, tools, and APIs.
IBM's API Connect provides a connected approach to AI-assisted development, full lifecycle API management, and runtime governance. This platform helps enterprises build governed APIs faster while controlling how AI agents use those APIs in production.
