Vendors that treat single sign-on as a luxury feature


A list of vendors that treat single sign-on as a luxury feature, not a core security requirement.

Single sign-on (SSO) is a mechanism for outsourcing the authentication for your website (or other product) to a third party identity provider, such as Google, Okta, Entra ID (Azure AD), PingFederate, etc. In the event that an employee leaves the company, it allows the IT team to immediately disable their access to all applications, rather than logging into 100 different user management portals. Many vendors charge 2x, 3x, or 4x the base product pricing for access to SSO, which disincentivizes its use and encourages poor security practices.
