The IPaaS platforms analyzed in this Gartner Magic Quadrant provide capabilities that enable subscribers, also known as tenants, implement data integration projects, Applications, API and process integration projects both from the cloud and from other premises. This is achieved by developing, implementing, running, managing and monitoring “integration flows” (known as “integration interfaces”), In other words, integration apps that bridge different ends so they can work together.
For an iPaaS platform to appear in the Gartner Magic Quadrant and considered as a business iPaaS, it needs to have the ability to support integration projects in which it is necessary:
- Ensure disaster recovery.
- Be able to guarantee high availability.
- Assemble adequate security conditions.
- That the provider offers technical support.
- Have service level agreements.
Nowadays, there are many companies that propose to complete their data architecture with an iPaaS. This platform is commonly used for the integration of services and applications in the cloud and, increasingly, used for mobile app integration, B2B integration and API publishing, without forgetting different integration scenarios related to the use of IoT.
