As cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated, the need for robust Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions has never been more critical. In the latest 2024 Gartner Market Guide for IGA, Soffid IAM once again stands out as a recommended vendor, recognized for its comprehensive and integrated approach to identity governance.

But what exactly makes Soffid IAM a standout in Gartner’s eyes? Below, we explore the key strengths highlighted in the report that have propelled Soffid IAM to the forefront of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) market.

1. Converged IAM Capabilities: One Unified Platform

Gartner emphasizes Soffid IAM’s ability to converge multiple IAM functionalities into a single platform. Soffid integrates Identity Governance (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Access Management (AM), and Single Sign-On (SSO), providing businesses with an all-in-one solution that simplifies identity management processes while ensuring high-level security.

This convergence reduces the complexity of managing multiple tools and allows organizations to govern identities, manage privileged access, and authenticate users seamlessly—whether on-premises or in the cloud.

2. Scalability for Enterprises of All Sizes

Another major factor that sets Soffid IAM apart is its scalability. Gartner notes that Soffid IAM is flexible enough to meet the needs of both small to mid-sized companies and large enterprises. Whether managing a few thousand users or millions, Soffid IAM’s platform adapts to the organization’s size without compromising security or performance.

For organizations undergoing digital transformation or rapid growth, Soffid IAM provides the flexibility and scalability to expand their identity governance infrastructure as they evolve.

3. SaaS and On-Premise Support

Modern businesses often operate in hybrid environments, combining on-premise systems with cloud-based solutions. Soffid IAM offers both SaaS and on-premise deployment options, ensuring that businesses can implement the platform based on their specific infrastructure needs.

With Soffid’s identity orchestration capabilities, companies can seamlessly integrate the platform into their existing ecosystems using out-of-the-box (OOTB) connectors, minimizing disruption and ensuring a smooth transition.

4. Advanced Security and Compliance Features

In industries where security and regulatory compliance are paramount—such as financial services, healthcare, and government—Soffid IAM delivers critical features to ensure data protection and regulatory adherence. These include:

• Identity registration for non-employees, such as contractors or temporary staff.
• Secrets management and Segregation of Duties (SOD) to prevent conflicts of interest.
• CIEM (Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management), which enables businesses to securely manage access in cloud environments.

5. Cost-Effective and Future-Ready

Finally, Gartner highlights the cost-effectiveness of Soffid IAM. The platform’s consolidated pricing model allows businesses to access advanced IAM capabilities without overspending. At the same time, Soffid’s continuous investment in research and development ensures that the platform remains future-ready, equipped to handle emerging cybersecurity challenges and evolving regulatory requirements.
