Delivered as a cloud service with no hardware or software to deploy, IdentityNow provides fully-integrated IAM for compliance, provisioning and access management. IdentityNow meets the most stringent IAM-as-a-service (IDaaS) requirements and provides enterprise-grade services that meet security, scalability, performance, and availability demands.
OneLogin and SailPoint are both popular identity management platforms that help organizations secure and manage user identities and access to systems and applications, but they have distinct differences. OneLogin is a cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) solution that offers features like single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and user provisioning. It provides a user-friendly interface and focuses on simplicity and ease of use. SailPoint, on the other hand, is an identity governance platform that focuses on ensuring compliance, risk management, and access governance. It offers advanced capabilities for identity lifecycle management, role-based access control (RBAC), and access certifications. SailPoint excels in managing complex identity and access requirements in large enterprises and industries with strict compliance regulations.

OneLogin vs SailPoint in our news:
2021. One Identity has acquired OneLogin, a rival to Okta and Ping Identity
More consolidation is underway in the realm of cybersecurity, particularly concerning services that assist organizations in identity and access management. Today, One Identity, a provider of tools for managing "zero trust" access, log management, and governance services for enterprises, revealed its acquisition of OneLogin. OneLogin, a competitor to companies such as Okta and Ping in the secure sign-on services domain for end users, boasts an impressive customer base of around 5,500 organizations, including renowned names like Airbus, Stitch Fix, AAA, and Pandora.
2017. OneLogin brings some smarts to multi-factor authentication
Multi-factor authentication service OneLogin has introduced an updated version of its mobile app that incorporates machine learning capabilities. This new release utilizes machine learning to analyze and recognize your typical usage patterns. As a result, the app will only prompt you for a second factor of authentication when it determines it to be absolutely necessary. Unlike most multi-factor authentication algorithms, which follow rigid rules such as requesting a password when on the work network and a second factor when not, this enhanced version takes a more nuanced approach by understanding how users typically access the network. The latest iteration of the OneLogin OTP aims to address this issue. For instance, if you frequently log in from your home using the same laptop, after multiple instances, the system will learn that this location and device are familiar to you. Consequently, you will be granted access to the network without the need for a second factor of authentication.
2016. OneLogin acquires Sphere Secure Workspace to gain mobile management
Cloud identity management provider OneLogin has completed the acquisition of Sphere Secure Workspace, expanding its identity-driven security model to include mobile device management capabilities. Sphere offers a containerized approach to mobile security, where work-related content is segregated from personal content within a virtual container on a single device. Although this approach is not novel, it provides OneLogin with entry into the lightweight mobile device management sector. With Sphere, the company can easily eliminate the container when an employee departs from the organization or misplaces a device, while preserving the individual's other content. This solution enables employees to access work-related content in a highly secure manner through a single login, while safeguarding their personal content.
2014. Online identity management market heats up with SailPoint funding
Sailpoint, a provider of identity and access management solutions, has secured a significant investment from private equity fund Thoma Bravo. While the exact amount of the investment has not been disclosed, reports suggest that it is valued at several hundred million dollars. Sailpoint offers a comprehensive range of services including single-sign on, password management, and user access provisioning for both SaaS and on-premises deployments. The company plans to continue supporting both deployment models in the future. The field of identity and access management has experienced notable activity recently, with IBM acquiring two IAM companies, Lighthouse and Crossideas, in the past month. Other key players in the IAM space include Ping Identity and Okta.
2011. VMWare launches single sign-on service
As known, the main problems with SaaS-apps arise not with users, but with IT administrators, because they are losing control over what's happening. Because of this, they resist the SaaS implementation, claiming in particular, that they can't control authentication data across multiple SaaS services. To solve this problems, the new class of services appeared - SSO (Single Sign-on services). We have already reviewed one of them - OneLogin. There are some others, but all of them are semi-startups, which can't fully satisfy the IT staff. And finally there is a solution from the solid company - VMware Horizon App Manager. ***
2010. OneLogin - Single sign-on for SaaS apps
Thanks to SaaS technology, a large number of business applications have appeared. Now companies can use multiple applications from different vendors (not just from Microsoft). But along with the wide variety of applications the problems of their integration and a single sign-on have come. Various platforms, marketplaces and SaaS associations are intended to solve these problems: Force.com, Intuit Partner Program, Google Apps Marketplace. OneLogin also tries to solve the single sign-on problem in simple and ingenious way. It is the centrally-administered username / password database + browser plugin, which makes working with a large number of SaaS applications very convenient. ***
