TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Optimal IdM, a leading provider of SaaS-delivered Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions, has announced it has been positioned in the Niche Players quadrant of the “2019 Magic Quadrant for Access Management.” Gartner defines the Access Management market as “vendors providing solutions that use access control engines to provide centralized authentication, SSO, session management and authorization enforcement for target applications in multiple use cases (B2E, B2B and B2C). Adaptive and contextual authentication are core elements, as is support for modern identity protocols such as SAML, OAuth2 and OIDC.”

In the Magic Quadrant for this market sector, Gartner analysts evaluated providers offering Access Management, based on the criteria of ability to execute and completeness of vision.

“We are once again very pleased to be positioned in the Niche Players quadrant,” said Mike Brengs, CRO and Managing Partner of Optimal IdM. “We believe our unique pricing model, multiple and single-tenant SaaS delivery offering and our ability to customize our out-of-the-box SaaS solution affirm our positioning on the quadrant.”

The Optimal IdM product and service portfolio includes a full-featured cloud Identity as a Service (IDaaS) platform, The OptimalCloud™. The OptimalCloud provides universal SSO, Federation Brokering, Multifactor Authentication Services, authorization enforcement, audit and reporting services. The OptimalCloud is currently integrated with more than 7,000 applications and more are added every day. It can be combined with the exclusive power of Optimal’s Virtual Directory to solve today’s unique identity, cybersecurity, regulatory and compliancy issues.

Optimal IdM’s on-premise offerings include the award winning Virtual Identity Server (VIS), which provides a secure, policy driven SSO solution incorporating Federation Services, and a single manageable console for initial authentication security policies. It provides a single view of hundreds of Active Directory forests, LDAP directories as well as other data repositories like SQL, Oracle and many others. VIS seamlessly integrates with Microsoft applications including SharePoint, Office 365 as well as on-premise legacy applications.
