For the sixth year in a row, we’re thrilled to announce that Kong has been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for API Management. Plus, Kong was positioned furthest on the Completeness of Vision axis for the second year in a row.
We feel this ongoing recognition reinforces our commitment to our customers, who rely on Kong’s unified API platform to deliver fast, reliable, and secure digital experiences.
As [defined by Gartner](https://www.gartner.com/en/information-technology/glossary/magic-quadrant)defined by Gartner, the Gartner Magic Quadrant "offers visual snapshots, in-depth analyses and actionable advice that provide insight into a market’s direction, maturity and participants. The Magic Quadrant compares vendors based on the Gartner standard criteria and methodology. Each report comes with a Magic Quadrant graphic that depicts a market using a two-dimensional matrix that evaluates vendors based on their Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute."
The API management market is the market for software that supports all stages of an API’s life cycle: planning and design, implementation and testing, deployment and operation, and versioning and retirement. These solutions enable organizations to discover, design, develop, manage, and secure APIs.
Organizations actively planning and embarking on their AI and agentic journeys can rest assured that a decision for Kong is a decision to be truly ready for the agentic future ahead.
At Kong, we're not just keeping pace with the market — we're setting the direction and defining what’s next. Kong empowers companies to become “API-first” to advance and enable the AI era. Kong helps more than 700 organizations around the world unleash developer productivity through a single unified API platform for APIs, AI, events, and microservices.
Kong gives organizations everything they need to build, run, discover, and govern the connectivity that will fuel the agentic future. [Request a demo](https://konghq.com/contact-sales)Request a demo to see it in action.
