This KuppingerCole Executive View report examines Evidian Orbion, the next-generation IDaaS solution from Evidian. Orbion provides a comprehensive, integrated approach to Identity as a Service (IDaaS), addressing all major areas of Identity and Access Management (IAM) beyond just the workforce. This report includes a technical review of the solution Evidian Orbion.

IAM (Identity and Access Management) has expanded beyond traditional workforce focus to support partners, customers, and non-human identities, increasing complexity and deployment challenges. The Identity Fabric, introduced by KuppingerCole Analysts, provides a unified approach to manage IAM functionalities. Evidian Orbion, an IDaaS solution by Evidian, integrates IGA, AM, and PAM, along with emerging technologies like decentralized identities and AI. It features extensive user lifecycle management, multi-factor authentication, identity federation support, and identity orchestration. Contemporary updates incorporate automated user registrations through certifications from trusted authorities, external authentication providers, decentralized identity integration, and advanced identity relationship management. Evidian Orbion’s unified model and catalogues simplify the management of identities, roles, applications, and services. The solution also bolsters hybrid environments and supports high automation and scalable deployments.

For the future, further decentralized identity support, enhanced AI capabilities, and expanded PAM features are planned. While Evidian Orbion is tailored for mid-market and large organizations, it stands out for its comprehensive, innovative features and European data residency, making it suitable for EU organizations requiring high security and data residency.
