Best for: Large or regulated teams needing self-managed identity
It earns its place because it is one of the few picks you can run as self-managed software, and it covers employees, customers, partners and AI agents in one platform. It fits large, regulated organizations that need control over where identity runs. If you only need workforce sign-in, ask whether you need the customer and partner parts at all.
