category

Identity access management for non-SSO apps

market profile

  • text: Identity teams have an access-control gap when critical apps lack SAML or SCIM, or charge extra for SSO.
  • text: Aglide complements an existing identity provider instead of requiring an enterprise to replace it.

personas

  • title: Director of identity and access management
    pains:
    • Offboarding and access reviews remain manual across non-federated apps.
    • Shared and legacy logins sit outside existing conditional access policies.
  • title: CISO or security and GRC director
    pains:
    • Sensitive credentials spread to employees and browsers.
    • Auditors need a consistent record of access to financial and privileged systems.
  • title: IT operations manager
    pains:
    • Provisioning and revoking access across disconnected applications consumes administrator time.
    • SSO upgrade fees make consistent coverage expensive.

icp

  • text: Midmarket and enterprise organizations with an established identity provider and a substantial estate of non-SAML applications.
  • text: Regulated fintechs and financial services teams with banking portals and sensitive shared accounts are strong candidates.

message pillars

  • text: Extend existing identity controls to disconnected apps.
  • text: Unify joiner and leaver operations and evidence.
  • text: Keep credentials out of end-user hands.
  • text: Avoid maintaining app-specific integration code.

objections

  • objection: Will this work on our unusual critical apps?
    response: Pilot the specific banking, shared and legacy workflows, including MFA and lifecycle events, before expanding.
  • objection: Does another identity vendor increase credential exposure?
    response: Review the zero-trust encryption and local agent architecture with security, and validate it against your threat model.
  • objection: Why not use our existing IdP's password replay?
    response: Compare credential exposure, lifecycle controls and audit coverage for the apps that matter in a proof of concept.

competitors

  • name: Cerby
    why: Provides a competing bridge for applications without standard SSO.
