Okta positioned highest in Ability to
Execute
Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent identity
provider, today announced that it has been recognized as a Leader
in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Access Management, for both
Okta and Auth0 (which Okta acquired in May 2021). This marks the
fifth consecutive year in which Okta has been named Leader, and the
first for Okta (Auth0). A complimentary version of the full report
can be found here.
Gartner's view of the market is focused on transformational
technologies or approaches delivering on the future needs of end
users. The access management (AM) market is defined by customers’
needs to establish, enforce, and manage run-time access controls
for internal and external types of identities, interacting with
cloud, modern standards-based web and legacy web applications. The
report evaluated 12 vendors on 15 criteria and placed both Okta and
Okta (Auth0) in the Leaders Quadrant.
Okta and Auth0 together provide the breadth of modern Workforce
and Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) solutions needed
to seamlessly manage the digital complexities of security, agility,
and user experience. The Okta Identity Cloud and the Auth0 Identity
Platform deliver the identity solutions that are built for customer
choice, connecting best-of-breed technology for seamless
integration into any ecosystem; addressing compliance and
regulatory requirements; and empowering users with secure and
frictionless experiences. Any development style (no-code, low-code,
to pro-code) and deployment choice (multi-tenant cloud or a
dedicated tenant) is satisfied with the extensibility and breadth
that Okta and Auth0 offer.
“This dual recognition from Gartner is an honor, and one that I
believe is a testament to the individual leadership of our
complementary platforms and the incredible value that we offer
together,” said Todd McKinnon, CEO and co-founder, Okta. “Companies
that proactively build an identity-first architecture and
prioritize identity as the foundation to all digital experiences
will have the competitive edge. The breadth of technology across
both Okta’s and Auth0’s platforms provide industry-leading
execution and innovation for driving secure and seamless digital
experiences.”
“Becoming part of Okta was a transformational milestone for both
companies, as well as the identity industry as a whole,” said
Eugenio Pace, CEO and co-founder, Auth0. “We are just scratching
the surface of the breadth of use cases we can solve together. We
are grateful for the recognition of Okta (Auth0) as a Leader from
Gartner. We will continue to innovate our modern identity platform
to satisfy the many complex identity needs of our customers.”
Okta recently featured Auth0 and the future plans as a combined
company at its annual Showcase event, which was held virtually on
October 13. The rich content from the event, including commentary
from both CEOs, customer interviews, and product demos can be seen
