They work to manage the digital identities of all users and their access privileges, using features such as identity lifecycle management, entitlement management, access requests, workflows, access certification, policy and role management, auditing, and reporting and analytics. Growing digitization and the rising need for compliance management contribute to the current growth of the identity security landscape. In fact, global identity governance and administration market revenues are on track for strong growth in the coming years. Organizations are being put under pressure to manage an increasing number of access requests and maintain stringent security, and to achieve this ever more quickly with fewer resources. IGA solutions can help with this by automating compliance and access management decisions, allowing employees to focus their attention on higher priority projects. In this article we’ll compare the top Identity Governance and Administration solutions. We’ll look at the capabilities of each solution, exploring key features such as lifecycle management, access request certification, and reporting, to help you find the right solution for your organization. ## What is Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)? ## Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) Solutions Compared Here is a comparison of the top IGA platforms across key governance capabilities.
