SailPoint Technologies, Inc., a leader in unified identity security for enterprises, today announced that the company was named an Overall Leader, Product Leader, Innovation Leader, and Market Leader in the latest Leadership Compass Identity Governance and Administration (“IGA”) report from KuppingerCole Analysts AG. The report provides an overview of the IGA market, as well as a compass to help businesses identify the right vendor and solution to meet their needs.

SailPoint Identity Security Cloud led all vendors in Market Position and received the highest possible rating of “Strong Positive” across all scoring categories, including Security, Functionality, Deployment, Interoperability, and Usability. The report highlighted the company’s dedication to not just product capabilities, but customer support and ease of use as well, while also citing SailPoint’s financial strength, large customer base, and expansive partner ecosystem. We believe this effectively illustrates that SailPoint is not only well positioned to serve customers amid the current economic climate, but to continue delivering innovative solutions well into the future.

“It’s always an honor to be recognized by KuppingerCole, and SailPoint’s position as an IGA leader is not something we take lightly,” said Matt Mills, President, SailPoint. “When customers work with SailPoint, we want them to know they’re not just getting a best-in-class identity solution—they’re getting a partner and trusted advisor invested in securing their enterprise against today’s dynamic, identity-centric cyber threats. The future of cybersecurity lies with an inside-out approach and as a category leader we continuously reinvent identity security as the foundation of the secure enterprise.”

The KuppingerCole report highlights a number of SailPoint’s strengths, including SailPoint’s ability to leverage AI and machine learning capabilities to accelerate application onboarding, assist with outlier detection and remediation, and other purposes. It also notes that the company uses generative AI to create entitlement descriptions, access recommendations, and distinct roles for different identities. Additionally, the report notes that SailPoint’s workflow engine is built on low-code/no-code principles, enabling drag-and-drop capabilities that allow customers to visualize data and logic flows more easily. SailPoint’s modern, user-friendly interface also drew praise, including for its highly configurable dashboard and ability to support a wide range of authenticator options.

KuppingerCole calls SailPoint “a leading vendor in the IGA market,” noting that the company “has built excellent support for identity and role lifecycle management as part of the IGA solution.” The report also highlights SailPoint’s extensive partner ecosystem for delivering its solution across the globe, as well as its ability to support automatic upgrades through its multi-tenant SaaS architecture. SailPoint’s ability to provide a wide variety of out-of-the-box provisioning connectors for both on-premises and SaaS systems is also cited as a strength, enabling customers to easily integrate the identity solution with their existing systems and solutions.
