Identity provisioning remains one of the most important core elements of the broad identity and access management market, so it is not surprising that a comparatively large number of manufacturers offer solutions in this area. KuppingerCole’s Leadership Compass on identity provisioning, published today, offers a structured overview and a thorough evaluation of this market segment.
There can be no question that selecting the right identity provisioning product requires extensive prior analysis of the specific initial situation. To support this process, KuppingerCole´s Leadership Compass offers an overview of the providers of identity provisioning solutions, among which KuppingerCole distinguishes between “Leaders” in four categories:
- “Product Leaders” are characterised by outstanding products that significantly exceed the expectations in this market segment.
- “Market Leaders” boast a broad, international customer base with a stable and organically evolved partner structure.
- “Innovation Leaders” provide innovations and leading-edge product ideas that are expected to bring new possibilities to this market segment.
- “Overall Leaders” combine strengths in all three categories based on the strengths of the product they offer, their market presence and the vendor´s product innovations.
In all four categories, KuppingerCole distinguishes between Leaders, Challengers and Followers. While the Leaders are classified according to the criteria listed above, the Challengers are expected by KuppingerCole to steadily develop and expand the existing strengths of the products they offer. The Followers group contains companies where there is still room for development in several areas.
