In the single sign-on category, capability scores are driven by the breadth of integrations offered, the level of protocol support (SAML, OIDC, etc), and the robustness of security features like MFA.
Innovation scores are heavily influenced by passwordless authentication options, the use of AI for threat detection, and the degree of automation in identity lifecycle management.Top-ranked SSO vendors typically demonstrate a commitment to open standards, provide extensive pre-built integrations, and offer flexible deployment options (cloud, on-premise, hybrid).
Vendors can improve their ranking by focusing on user experience, expanding their integration catalog, and investing in emerging technologies like decentralized identity and continuous authentication.
