ManageEngine Identity Manager Plus vs. Frontegg

ManageEngine's Identity Manager Plus offers a robust single sign-on (SSO) solution tailored for enterprises, enabling users to seamlessly access necessary applications with just one click. This platform, part of Zoho's IT division, empowers IT administrators to oversee and manage application access from a unified interface. By logging in once, users can enjoy secure access to a plethora of enterprise applications. The SSO functionality supports hundreds of popular applications available in the app catalog, as well as any SAML-based internal applications through custom integrations. Furthermore, administrators can monitor user activity, including which applications were accessed, the timing of access, and the sources of these connections, providing insights into application usage trends and identifying inactive users. User importation is simplified with direct integration from G Suite or Azure AD, and the built-in Zoho Directory facilitates the onboarding of contractors and temporary employees. Additionally, configuring SSO for various applications, adding users, and granting application access can all be efficiently managed from one central console, ensuring streamlined operations for IT teams. Overall, this solution enhances both security and user convenience across the enterprise.
