Microsoft-anchored shops (Entra includes passkey support free), organizations not ready for passwordless (Okta/Entra better), or SMBs (JumpCloud cheaper).
Security-forward organizations (200-5,000 employees) eliminating passwords entirely with passkey/FIDO2-native architecture.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Beyond Identity’s product card in our Top 10 Identity & Access Management (IAM) / SSO Software for 2026:
- ! Narrower customer base than Okta/Entra
- ! Integration ecosystem narrower (~150)
- ! Pricing meaningful at scale
- ! Newer product (2020); some growing pains
- ! Less mature governance features
If Beyond Identity is wrong for you, consider these instead
Same Identity & Access Management (IAM) / SSO category, different best-fit buyer.
