Inventiveness a Differentiating Factor for Vendors of Access Management Solutions

The report provides insights into Access Management solutions deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid model. Solutions offered as a managed service are also considered when the technology is owned by the Managed Service Provider (MSP). “There is a clear trend in the market to move Access Management solutions from an on-premises delivery model to a cloud delivery model. And even though vendors are helping customers to make this transition easier, there will still be valid reasons that organizations will need to maintain an on-premise presence,” says Richard Hill, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole and author of the report. “Because of this, it is safe to assume that a hybrid delivery model will be a viable option for the foreseeable future,” he adds. 

Of the solutions analyzed in the report, over 70% demonstrate strong Identity Federation capabilities, while more than 60% show substantial SSO and Session Management capabilities. The majority provide solid Authentication capabilities, and more than half manifest considerable Authorization and Policy Management capabilities.
