Today’s businesses require secure 24/7 access to their cloud applications and data, and require more than Web Single Sign-On to propel their business forward. The world has changed, allowing an almost infinite number of identities and accounts on different platforms and devices including cloud, mobile, social, and personal networks. Having an identity and access management strategy in place is more important than ever.

Okta, Ping and Microsoft are named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Access Management for the Fourth Consecutive Year.

Okta is the only vendor that has consistently been a Leader since the inception of Gartner’s evaluation of the identity space — starting with the first Identity as a Service (IDaaS) Magic Quadrant seven years ago.

===================================================================
Previous years, Gartner used to publish IDaaS report, but could not find it anymore after 2016. I listed IDaaS MQ in 2016 and 2015 here since they are similar and worth comparing them. 

2016

In the 2016 MQ for IDaaS (Identity and Access Management as a Service), following three vendors are in Leaders:

  • Microsoft
  • Centrify
  • Okta

2015

In 2015, the ‘leaders’ quadrant of Gartner’s graph featured just one vendor – OKTA.
