Gartner does not endorse any vendor, product, or service depicted in its research publications.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The 15 products\u00a0featured in the report are, in alphabetical order, AlertEnterprise, Atos (Evidian), CA Technologies, Core Security, Dell Technologies (RSA), Hitachi ID Systems, IBM, Micro Focus (NetIQ), Omada, One Identity, Oracle, Sailpoint IdentityIQ, Sailpoint IdentityNow, and Saviynt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I\u00a0read the report and pulled the three most important takeaways and key market indicators. But first, let\u2019s get a couple of definitions out of the way\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>\u00a0So What are Critical Capabilities, Exactly?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This one is pretty straightforward: Gartner defines Critical capabilities as \u201cattributes that differentiate products\/services in a class in terms of their quality and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For IGA, those critical capabilities are identity life cycle, entitlements management, access requests, workflow, policy and role management, access certification, fulfillment, auditing, reporting and analytics, ease of deployment, and scalability and performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Gartner rates each product or service on a five-point scale in terms of how well it delivers each capability across four\u00a0use cases: Global Enterprise, Midsize or Large Enterprise, Governance-Focused, and Automation-focused.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Just one more thing before we jump in\u2014let&#8217;s clarify exactly what Gartner analysts mean when they talk about\u00a0IGA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><div class=\"box box0\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.saviynt.com\/Analyst-Report---2017-Critical-Capabilities_SolutionsReview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Get the Gartner&#8217;s 2017 Critical Capabilities Report for Identity Governance and Administration<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.saviynt.com\/Analyst-Report---2017-Critical-Capabilities_SolutionsReview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1743 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2016\/05\/IGA-crictical-cap-160.jpg\" alt=\"Gartner Critical Capabilities IGA\" width=\"130\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2016\/05\/IGA-crictical-cap-160.jpg 130w, https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2016\/05\/IGA-crictical-cap-160-66x81.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 130px) 100vw, 130px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">15 \u00a0IGA Products Compared<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">11 Critical Capabilities<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">3 Use Cases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/info.saviynt.com\/Analyst-Report---2017-Critical-Capabilities_SolutionsReview.html\" class=\"ss-button default\" target=\"_blank\">Download<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>How Gartner defines\u00a0IGA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to Gartner, IGA solutions are tools that \u201cmanage digital identity and access rights across multiple systems.\u201d They accomplish this by\u00a0aggregating and correlating identity and access rights data that is distributed throughout the IT landscape, in order to enhance control over user access.\u00a0This aggregated data serves as the basis for the core IGA functions that Gartner calls critical capabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To be included in The 2017 IGA\u00a0Critical Capabilities report, vendors must have a significant market presence in at least one of the use cases and at least four of the critical capabilities listed above. Market presence can be demonstrated in one of two ways \u2014 by significant market share or by differentiating innovation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>IGA-as-a-service\u00a0Adoption\u2014and Functionality\u2014 are Growing Fast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">IGA is a critical part of the security and governance programs at most sizable organizations, but it has a reputation as an unwieldy and difficult-to-deploy tool. What&#8217;s more, many organizations are struggling to pull significant value from their IGA tools, especially in automated user account provisioning, due to complex integration issues, says Gartner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With that in mind, it&#8217;s no surprise that many companies are turning to the cloud and\u00a0furnishing IGA-as-a-service products to ease deployment and integration issues for customers looking for streamlined IGA functionality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The nascent IGA-as-a-service market growth is primarily\u00a0driven by small and midsized businesses that look to cloud-based SaaS delivery models to simplify their application deployment and usage, but Gartner analysts predict that by\u00a02019, more than half of IGA\u00a0vendors will have significant IGA capabilities available as a service, up from less than 10% in 2016.\u00a0In the same time frame, more than 30% of new IGA deployments will be service-based, up from less than 5% in 2016. The future, it seems, is in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">But it&#8217;s not all good news, many of those products that emphasize ease of deployment typically provide out-of-the-box process frameworks\u00a0which could be difficult for organizations with mature processes to adopt, says Gartner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Saviynt and Oracle Lead in Ratings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While Gartner makes it a point not to endorse specific vendors in their reports, the 2017 IGA Critical Capabilities report gives a lot of love to a few vendors, namely Saviynt and Oracle, who placed in the top 3 for most use cases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Saviynt specifically was the only vendor to place in the top two across all four use cases, with the top spot for Midsize or Large Enterprise and Governance-Focused\u00a0use cases. Gartner praised the company for its &#8220;Outstanding support for role management&#8221; which &#8220;bridges the gap between enterprise and application role management with the ability to design and transport roles for complex applications with their own RBAC models.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For their part, legacy IGA vendor Oracle was among the top three scores for three use cases, and came in with the number one spot for Global Enterprise use cases. Gartner praised the company\u00a0as &#8220;especially well-suited to global enterprises with mature and complex processes for access administration and signification requirements for the automation of account management,&#8221; but warned that deployment can be complex, as the product requires more compiled Java code than most other products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysis and research firm Gartner, Inc. recently\u00a0released its latest Critical Capabilities Report for\u00a0Identity Governance and Administration (IGA).
