Managing agent sprawl: why enterprises need an agent management platform

April 7, 2026

With every enterprise deploying AI agents at scale, agent sprawl is not a future risk. According to Gartner®, "by 2028, an average global Fortune 500 enterprise will have over 150,000 agents in use, up from less than 15 in 2025, generating significant agent sprawl, IT complexity and management challenges." Gartner also warns that "without management, AI agents will sprawl across the enterprise, become chaotic, unmanageable and limit business impact."

The Gartner report Beyond Agent Sprawl: The Rise of AI Agent Management Platforms makes the case for why agent management is the most critical AI infrastructure decision enterprises will make this decade and what it takes to get it right.

Here is what we believe it covers:

  • What agent sprawl means at enterprise scale
  • Why agent management platforms are an important investment
  • Which industries are moving first, and what they are getting right
  • What C-level leaders need to decide in the next 3 to 6 months

If agent management is on your agenda, this report gives you the strategic roadmap to get there.
