What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant?

As defined by Gartner, Gartner Magic Quadrants are annually released comparisons of vendors within a market showcasing how well technology providers are executing their stated visions and how they’re performing against Gartner’s market view. These are intended to give enterprise technology shoppers an unbiased assessment of competing providers. These reports come with a graphic depicting each market via a matrix evaluating vendors on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

What defines an API management solution?

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.

This graphic was published by Gartner, Inc. as part of a larger research document and should be evaluated in the context of the entire document.
