10th recognition as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for API Management for Axway
Axway recognised for "Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute" for their API Management offering.
Axway, a 74Software company (Euronext: 74SW), a global leader in federated API management and enterprise integration, is recognised by Gartner as a Leader in the 2025 Magic Quadrant™ for API Management¹ – marking the 10th time the company has been positioned as a Leader in the report.
AI is transforming API management by automating complex tasks, enhancing security through real-time threat detection, optimising performance with predictive analytics, and improving the developer experience via automated documentation and testing. This enables API management to be proactive, intelligent, and automated. Nevertheless, AI-driven integration creates challenges and security risks by making it hard to track and secure APIs.
Based on specific criteria that analysed the company’s overall Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute, the Gartner evaluation, in our opinion, discusses the strength of 17 API Management solutions and their ability to address the growing challenges of API sprawl, governance, and AI-driven integration.
In companion research issued by Gartner, Critical Capabilities for API Management², Axway received the highest score (3.6 out of 5.0) for the Distributed API Management Use Case for the third consecutive year.
For Roland Royer, CEO at Axway, convergence is key today as the market demands high flexibility and control. He asserted:
"This is the tenth time Axway is named a Leader in this report. For us, this feels like a strong validation of Axway’s vision and consistent ability to deliver. We feel Amplify has become the enterprise control plane that brings security, governance, and intelligence to distributed ecosystems – ensuring enterprises can modernise with confidence and prepare for AI at scale.”
The Amplify Platform was selected by several companies (Boehringer Ingelheim, Bosch,...) to enable their services with a strong distributed approach to API management:
“With Amplify Engage, we gain federated API management capabilities, whether APIs are on the Amplify API Management platform, AWS, or any other cloud.” Ariel Atili, Head of IT EDP API Enablement at Boehringer Ingelheim."
Amplify API Management helps enterprises build secure, scalable, and intelligent ecosystems with APIs that connect everything. The platform’s distributed foundation underpins the broader Amplify ecosystem:
- Amplify API Gateway secures and manages APIs at scale, enforcing enterprise-grade policies, protecting data, and ensuring reliable performance across distributed environments.
- Amplify Engage empowers organisations to expose, manage, and monetise APIs securely, driving reuse and new growth opportunities.
- Amplify Fusion is a multi-pattern integration platform that unifies legacy systems, SaaS applications, APIs, and event-driven architectures into a governed layer delivering agility, visibility, and scale.
- Amplify AI Gateway extends governance into AI interactions, enabling enterprises to safely bring AI models, MCP servers, and agents into business workflows with enterprise-grade security and governance.
Mourad Jaakou, General Manager of Amplify Platform at Axway, commented:
“As AI reshapes how enterprises operate, the ability to govern APIs and AI assets together is becoming a board-level priority. Amplify is designed to help enterprises build on what works today while safely embracing new AI-driven capabilities with speed, intelligence, and control.”
