API Management Reviews and Ratings

What is API Management ?

Gartner defines the application programming interface (API) management market as the market for software to manage, govern and secure APIs.

APIs modernize IT architectures. They provide context, tools and resources to generative and agentic AI programs and provide access to systems, services, partners and data services. API management tools enable organizations to plan, deploy, secure, operate, version control and retire APIs, regardless of their size, region or industry.
