Microsoft, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026
Microsoft was named a Leader in Gartner's inaugural 2026 Magic Quadrant for AI Agent Management Platforms for Microsoft Agent 365.
Microsoft says it was named a Leader in the first Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Agent Management Platforms, recognizing Microsoft Agent 365, in which more than 50 million agents have been registered.
Its approach starts with identity: Microsoft Entra Agent ID gives each agent a unique ID tied to an owner, purpose and access controls that adjust with risk signals.
Rather than a separate platform, Agent 365 extends Microsoft Entra, Defender, Purview, Intune and the Microsoft 365 admin center.
Microsoft says Agent 365 is designed to support agents from Microsoft, customers and other ecosystems.
