As the world of IDaaS continues to evolve at a rapid pace, we’ve put together the latest IDaaS vendor – product – feature matrix for the largest active vendors in the IDaaS space. This information is current as of November 2016 and is put together by a combination of real world industry experiences, documentation reviews and other available information…

IBM and Oracle are of note this year for every different reasons. IBM has recently consolidated it’s platform and added many of the emerging technologies into their platforms to offer what appears on paper as the strongest offering, while Oracle has finally released it’s first IDaaS platform Identity Cloud Service in October of 2016.

Similarly, Okta, Ping, CA, SailPoint, Oracle and IBM have all significantly investigated in SCIM, including Oracle who’s recently released IDCS (Identity Cloud Service) provisioning engine is built almost entirely SCIM.

In an upcoming blog post, we will be detailing some of the upcoming trends in the ‘next-gen’ IDaaS products that have recently arrived. Two of the biggest trends we are noticing is the adaption of SCIM (System for Cross Domain Identity Management) and the real-world use of CASB (Cloud Security Access Brokers). These technologies / concepts / trends are on the opposite ends of IDaaS matrix, but will factor heavily in the future of Identity Management

To help layout the current IdAM product landscape as we see it, we’ve put together the following matrix of products by vendors.
