Denodo believes this recognition is due to the strength of its agentic AI support and the loyalty of its diverse customer base

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denodo, the AI data layer company, today announced that Gartner® has positioned the Company as a Leader, for the seventh consecutive year, in its Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools. “Data integration tools remain a foundational data architecture component for supporting operational, analytical, and AI use cases,” states Gartner. “This research analyzes 19 vendors to help data and analytics leaders make informed technology decisions.”

The complete and complementary Magic Quadrant report, published on November 2, 2026 and authored by Thornton Craig et al., is available here.

“By 2028, 60% of data integration tasks will be completed autonomously, freeing up 20% of data engineers’ time,” says Gartner in the 2026 Magic Quadrant report.

Since the publication of last year’s Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools report, the award winning Denodo Platform has made significant enhancements in data integration automation. In March, Denodo released Denodo Platform 9.4, enabling AI systems, applications, and users to reliably access live data, understand business context, and operate with strong performance within clear governance boundaries, and in July, Denodo released Denodo Platform 9.5, providing active context for trustworthy agentic AI.

“The goals of data integration are now driven by the needs of agentic AI, which is for AI-ready data that is immediately integrated, governed, and supported by active context. The Denodo Platform, by establishing the critical AI data layer, provides the most flexible, direct foundation for trustworthy, AI-ready data, in support of advanced automation,” said Ravi Shankar, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Denodo. “We are extremely proud that Gartner has once again recognized Denodo as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, as Gartner has done for the previous six years. This strengthens our conviction that an overarching, cross-platform AI data layer, with active context, provides the most effective foundation for tackling complex challenges with autonomous AI.”

On the Gartner Peer Insights platform, the Denodo Platform currently has a 4.6 average rating out of a possible 5, from a total of 337 ratings as of November 2026. In the words of Denodo customers:
