The Best Identity and Access Management Providers for 2025

Solutions Review’s listing of the best Identity and Access Management software providers is an annual look into the solution providers included in our Buyer’s Guide and Solutions Directory. Our editors gathered this information via online materials, reports, product demonstrations, conversations with vendor representatives, and free trial examinations.

The primary cybersecurity tool your company can use to prevent data breaches is identity and access management (IAM). Identity management (specifically, identity authentication) forms the digital perimeter composed of now-legacy antivirus solutions. This digital perimeter is the primary mechanism by which threat actors are kept out. Even if they penetrate the perimeter, identity management can constrain threat actor permissions, limiting the damage they inflict on your network.  

Your enterprise needs an identity and access management solution. It’s the only tool for thoroughly monitoring who accesses what, when, where, how, and why. How else can you be sure that your employees are who they say they are? With that in mind, the editors at Solutions Review have compiled this list of the best identity and access management software companies in the marketplace to help you find the best tool for your organization’s needs in 2025 (and beyond).

Note: Companies are listed in alphabetical order.
