| Strengths (neutral, vendor-sourced) | — | Identity & Access Management: Broad workforce and customer identity cloud with a large app-integration network and strong SSO, MFA, and lifecycle automation. |
| Gaps / watch-outs | — | Identity & Access Management: Public materials emphasize access-management breadth; deep PAM and fine-grained governance are less central than SSO and lifecycle. |
