AKANA RECOGNIZED AS A LEADER IN THE KUPPINGERCOLE LEADERSHIP COMPASS FOR API
MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY, 2021

API Lifecycle Management
Digital Transformation

In the latest publication of the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for API
Management and Security, Alexei Balanganski makes the point that, “[today], APIs
can be found everywhere – at homes and in mobile devices, in corporate networks
and in the cloud, even in industrial environments, to say nothing about the
Internet of Things.” Almost every development project calls on APIs and almost
every business application depends on them to run – so the need for modern API
management with comprehensive security is a business necessity.

This year, the Leadership Compass looked at organizations addressing API
management and API security. Vendors were evaluated based on multiple criteria
ranging from functionality and usability to number of customers and licensing
models.

We are pleased to announce that Akana has been ranked a leader in Innovation,
Product, and Technology.

> In the digital economy, API management success is directly related to business
> success.

Capabilities required to be evaluated include:

 * API design functions
 * API productization and monetization
 * Microservices management
 * Developer Portal and tools (DevOps)
 * API vulnerability management
 * Analytics and security compliance
 * Strong internal security
 * Scalability and performance

In the product leadership category, KuppingerCole looks at the functional
capabilities in each vendor’s product. In innovation, they evaluate if companies
have a customer-oriented approach to upgrades. This requires delivering both
customer requested and additional new functionality, while maintaining backwards
compatibility. The technology category is achieved by leading in both product
and innovation.

KuppingerCole recognized Akana for:

> “Delivering fully integrated end-to-end API development, management, and
> security capabilities across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.”

The analyst goes on to state:

> “Customers that need a single platform for solving a variety of business
> challenges (from modern application development to mainframe modernization)
> might look no further.”

Akana has a footprint with leading enterprises in verticals including financial
services, manufacturing, and travel. The solution makes it easy to create and
deploy APIs, with powerful security and enormous scale. Plus, the Perforce Akana
team is a true partner for your digital transformation and ongoing success. Even
better, Akana delivers competitive pricing, which can lead to a faster ROI and
lower TCO than competitive products.
