The Forrester Wave evaluation is an assessment of the top vendors in the market; it doesn't represent the entire vendor landscape. Additional vendors that Forrester considers to be notable for enterprise clients can be found in the corresponding report: The API Management Software Landscape, Q1 2026.
A: Vendors may appear in one evaluation and not the next based on several factors: meeting inclusion criteria (complete API management product, standalone product, minimum $25 million revenue, at least 180 enterprise customers, and relevance to Forrester's enterprise clients), willingness to participate in the full evaluation process, and market positioning changes. For vendors that decline to participate or contribute only partially, Forrester uses primary and secondary research including public information, briefings, and independently sourced customer interviews to score the vendor.
