by offering Identity and Access Management with reduced cost and complexity and cloud capabilities. However, Cser and Maxim also found a market divided between established vendors with &#8220;on-premise pedigree&#8221; just now making the switch to the cloud, and those &#8220;born in the cloud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While legacy vendors such as IBM, Microsoft, and Ping Identity offer robust capabilities, Forrester warns that their solutions can be difficult to implement and maintain. On the other hand, cloud-native vendors such as Okta, OneLogin, and Centrify offer solutions that are easier to implement and use, but which &#8220;may not offer the same depth of policy management capabilities that the on-premises pedigree vendors do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>OneLogin and Okta lead the pack.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Forrester identified Okta and OneLogin as the sole &#8216;leaders&#8217; in the lastest edition of their Cloud IAM (also known as IDaaS) Wave report, while Centrify, Microsoft, SailPoint, Salesforce, Ping Identity, and IBM are all identified as offering &#8220;competitive options.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Forrester praises OneLogin as &#8220;a thought leader in authentication&#8221; and notes that the company&#8217;s solutions is significantly less complex than its competitors, while still providing strong authentication capabilities and excellent support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Okta is noted for strong capabilities in managing and integrating user directories, and for its ambitious plans in identity intelligence and passwordless authentication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Supporting mobile-friendly IAM is &#8216;Table Stakes&#8217; For the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Forrester puts a lot of emphasis on the increasing importance of strong mobile strategies for IAM vendors. Vendors able to provide mobile single sign-on, says Forrester, &#8220;position themselves to successfully deliver faster IAM to value to their customers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While Centrify, IBM, and Microsoft already offer bundled enterprise mobility management solutions with their cloud IAM, Forrester notes that many other vendors are currently working on creating mobile application SSO (often using the OpenID Connect NAPPS standard), and\u00a0that mobile capabilities will be &#8216;table stakes&#8217; for the near future of cloud IAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em><strong>Related Resources:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Want to know more about IAM?
