In this Product Research Note, author Martin Kuppinger, the co-founder and principal analyst of KuppingerCole, evaluated the latest version of Evidian’s flagship product for managing digital identities.

Selected quotes from the Product Research Note:

“Evidian Identity & Access Manager consists of several different modules (ID synchronization, user provisioning, etc.) as well as the request manager and policy manager which are actually separate components. All of these are tightly integrated and the box workflows, as well as integrations with the SSO and Access Management tools from the Evidian product portfolio”.

“Unlike many other vendors, Evidian focuses on organizations with between 500 and 10,000 users. However, a significant number of Evidian’s corporate customers run much larger installations”.

“In KuppingerCole’s estimation, Evidian Identity & Access Manager is well positioned as an integrated solution, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. Evidian’s support for out-of-the-box workflows and the ability to deploy the product rapidly, especially in SMB environments, makes them a very strong player in the provisioning market”.
