What is Identity Governance as a Service and why NetIQ IG SaaS?

Identity Governance as a service is just another cloud offering, which solves the problems of reviewing identities access and certifying it. It also provides you a flavour of Reporting and performing Risk Analysis as an Add-on Package.

There are lot of vendors in the market which offers in the similar solution on-premises and on-cloud in public/private/Hybrid mode. But there have been huge differences, which is witnessed when it comes to their features/mode of deployment/compatibility with integrations and many more.

For an Example: one of the leading vendors offers IG (on the cloud), a limited version of their full (on-premises) IG product. The second leading vendor offers IGA as a single tenant deployment on the cloud and doesn’t offer a public cloud based deployment.

There are multiple such examples available in the market. Now, let understand what NetIQ IG SaaS is and how it solves this problem. NetIQ IG SaaS is a feature comparable version of latest on-premises Identity Governance solution and could run in the cloud as well.

Our IG SaaS offering comes along with NetIQ Advanced Authentication, which ensures a robust security around your cloud application.
