⚙️Enterprises Run Three Orchestration Platforms at Once
Why Flexibility Trumps Platform Loyalty
TL;DR
Enterprises are adopting multiple orchestration platforms for flexibility, with Microsoft leading primary usage and Anthropic gaining traction. The typical enterprise runs three platforms, driven by governance needs over developer convenience.
Across 107 enterprises, agentic orchestration isn't a single-platform choice; the norm is running three at once. This multi-platform approach stems from flexibility across models rather than loyalty to any one provider. Microsoft's Copilot Studio leads primary usage while Anthropic and OpenAI's SDKs are forward considerations. Security and permissions, production reliability, and control over agent execution top purchase drivers. A hybrid control plane by 2026 is expected, with security concerns driving external orchestration adoption.
Key Points
Microsoft's Copilot Studio in 70% of stacks, OpenAI SDK in 68%, Anthropic Platform in 47%
Flexibility across models is the top driver at 29%; security and permissioning follows at 17%
31% of spend goes to agent monitoring; security enforcement takes 30%, workflow tooling 19%
53% expect hybrid control plane by end-2026, with security concerns driving external orchestration
47% say 26-50% of agents are orchestrated; only 21% track agent spend in real-time
Why It Matters
If you're managing a multi-cloud environment, the hybrid control plane trend is crucial. Enterprises running three platforms prioritize security and governance over developer convenience. Microsoft's Copilot Studio leads primary usage but Anthropic gains traction for forward considerations.
