Apollo GraphQL Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

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.

I have worked on bringing the Apollo product over 7 years.  We went live in production few years back with their gateway offering and they worked hand in hand with us during the pilot and production rollout.  We are currently running multiple routers for alvarious supergraphs.  Apollo's support was integral in our success.
