Best for: Teams with mixed apps that want a vendor-neutral sign-in layer
It is on this list as the neutral choice, because it connects to your apps without tying your identity to one platform vendor. It fits companies of any size that run a mix of Microsoft, Google and many SaaS apps. If Microsoft already runs most of your estate, weigh whether a separate sign-in layer is worth running next to it.
