Identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) solutions are becoming a crucial strategy to manage their Identity and Access Management IAM needs. Making a choice between so many IDaaS solutions is very difficult for businesses.


Here is a list of things that can actually help you pick the best IDaaS product based on your business needs and aims:


Understanding business needs


Accessing your organization's specific needs and objectives helps in putting the tick marks on your unique requirements. This helps in identifying the features and functionalities necessary for your business. Factors such as


  • the size of your organization,

  • the number of users,

  • the level of security required, and

  • any compliance regulations that you need to adhere to.


To get a clear picture of your requirements ask questions like: Why do you need IDaaS to begin with? Do you see identity as a risk or a gap? Are you forced to perform tasks that are not addressed?


Comparing Identity-as-a-Service Products


After understanding the needs it's time to evaluate the features and capabilities of different IDaaS Products available in the market. To look for after the organization's growth and expand it further, here are the key features that your business should consider:



Compare Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to Return On Investment


Cost plays a crucial factor to consider when selecting an IDaaS product. Consider these points when evaluating the cost factor:


  • Evaluate the pricing models of different providers

  • The total cost of ownership, including implementation, maintenance, and support costs

  • Scalability of the pricing model based on your organization's needs as they may change over time.


Do Your Research: Security & Compliance


Security remains the top priority when it comes to managing identities and access to your organization's systems and data. IDaaS solutions that offer robust security measures in place, such as encryption, secure protocols, and regular security audits should be primarily considered. Additionally, consider if the IDaaS provider has certifications and compliance with industry standards, such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2.


Do Your Research: Reputation & Reviews


The best way to know about a product is to look for its reviews from its customers. Seek for providers with a track record of successful implementations and positive customer feedback. Consider contacting other organizations that have used the IDaaS solutions you're considering and learn from their experiences.


Consult with Experts in the Field


Do engage with those who have a proven positive history of recommending and implementing the technology you are considering. Companies, such as IDMEXPRESS have teams of consultants that can go through the minutia of your requirements and map vendor offerings to your business’s needs.


These consultants can maximize the ROI of any platform and assure you that you are making the right decisions while you build your Identity program.


In conclusion, choosing the right IDaaS product for your organization requires careful consideration and assessment of your specific needs, as well as a thorough evaluation of the features and capabilities of the solutions available in the market. It is important to assess how well the IDaaS solution aligns with your organization's IT infrastructure and existing security protocols. 


Additionally, consider the scalability and flexibility of the IDaaS solution to accommodate future growth and changing requirements. Lastly, don't forget to consider the cost and pricing structure of the IDaaS solution, ensuring that it fits within your budget and provides value for money, now and as you grow. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can make an informed decision and choose the right IDaaS product for your organization.
