InvGate named in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Hardware Asset Management Tools
For the second consecutive time, InvGate is recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide. We see this as a reflection of the consistency and maturity of our approach to Hardware Asset Management.
Why HAM is now a board-level priority
The 2026 Gartner® Market Guide positions Hardware Asset Management as a growing executive priority, discussing persistent challenges that affect visibility, lifecycle control, risk management, and financial planning.
Fragmented visibility
Asset data scattered across spreadsheets, legacy tools, and disconnected systems — leaving teams, in our experience, unable to maintain a reliable single source of truth.
Governance & audit gaps
Organizations struggle to prove control over their hardware estate during audits due to incomplete records and poor disposal documentation.
Manual inefficiency
Reliance on manual workflows leads to overworked IT teams, unexpected refresh cycles, and an inability to answer basic business questions about assets.
Security & lifecycle risk
Untracked or outdated hardware creates open attack vectors and growing technical debt — hardware management has risen to a top-level executive priority as a result.
What this recognition means
The Gartner® Market Guide evaluates the HAM tools landscape across 15 Representative Vendors selected on four criteria: published API, discovery capability, endpoint management integration, and external reporting.
Vendors evaluated
InvGate is one of 15 vendors evaluated in the 2026 edition — up from 13 in the previous report.
Listed in consecutive editions
InvGate is one of only 9 vendors retained from the previous edition. We see this as a reflection of platform consistency and market relevance.
Selection criteria met
Published API, built-in discovery, endpoint management integration, and external reporting. We believe InvGate addresses all four — and built the platform with each in mind.
