At One Identity, we’re proud to share that Gartner has recognized us as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant
for Privileged Access Management (PAM).
In a market transforming faster than ever, we believe innovation and proven performance matter most. Our placement as a Visionary reflects what we see every day with our customers and partners – a shared commitment to simplify security, accelerate adoption and bring intelligence to identity protection.
Why “visionary” matters
According to Gartner, Visionaries are “noted for their innovative approaches to PAM technologies, methodologies, and means of delivery.”
To us, being named a Visionary validates our strategy – blending AI-driven administration, flexible deployment and customer-first design – as we continue building the next era of privileged access management. We believe our focus on streamlined innovation, automation and value is exactly what modern organizations demand.
What the market highlights about Safeguard
One Identity has seen analyst support for several key strengths across the One Identity Safeguard and Cloud PAM Essentials portfolio:
- Product excellence: Our products received among the highest scores for privileged session management and PEDM for UNIX/Linux and macOS, confirming the depth and reliability of our core platform.
- Customer experience: Praised for ease of use, intuitive UI, deployment simplicity, and management features, backed by responsive, multi-tier support.
- AI-driven innovation: With Azure AI-powered natural-language search and AI-assisted configuration, we’re helping security teams move faster, respond smarter and simplify at scale.
- Pricing & value: Although some of the top PAM solutions are seen as costly, One Identity was recognized specifically for below the market average pricing, particularly for SaaS offerings – delivering enterprise-grade security at exceptional value.
These strengths go beyond features – they reflect how customer feedback shapes every part of our roadmap – from usability to affordability.
Visionary recognition is a nod to our trajectory, as we see it; this is validation that our course is set for leadership and ongoing growth.
