SAN JOSE, Calif., May 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apigee® (Nasdaq:APIC), developer of an intelligent API platform for digital business, announced today that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Services Governance1. Apigee was positioned the furthest of all vendors in this report for "Completeness of Vision," a criteria that reflects vendors' abilities to understand market trends, lead and influence them, and to follow these trends with agility and consistency.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant is considered one of the industry's most thorough evaluations of solutions for the planning, design, implementation, publication, operation, consumption, maintenance and retirement of APIs and services. This Magic Quadrant evaluated 15 different software vendors on 14 criteria. Apigee was placed in the Leaders quadrant based on both its "ability to execute" and its "completeness of vision."
According to the report, "The most distinctive attribute Leaders in this market have is that they kept the pace of changing technologies and the changing nature of projects. The rise of the API economy has put API management in everybody's thoughts, and API management took central stage in this quadrant. APIs must come from somewhere, and leaders extended their offerings to API design and implementation. API programs frequently start small with innovative ideas, and they need to execute fast. The Leaders made sure their offerings could cope with this dynamic environment."
Apigee delivers an intelligent API platform that enables companies to provide connected digital experiences. A single, secure platform for APIs and analytics, Apigee's platform helps businesses accelerate the pace at which they innovate, share their data and services, and adapt to rapidly changing customer and market needs.
Apigee recently announced a new "API-first" Internet of Things (IoT) product called Apigee Link, as well as a new solution for the healthcare industry based on the Apigee Edge API management product.
