Howdy folks,
I have great news to share with you today! Gartner released their 2017 Magic Quadrant for Access Management (AM MQ), which shows that Azure Active Directory is placed in the leaders quadrant and is positioned very strongly for completeness of vision.
The AM MQ is the evolution of the Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) MQ, which was discontinued last year, and Azure AD has been in the leaders quadrant two out of the three years the service has been generally available!
Gartner 2017 Magic Quadrant for Access Management
We have worked with Gartner to make complimentary copies of the report available, which you can access here.
This amazing placement validates our vision of providing a complete identity and access management solution for employees, partners, and customers, all backed by world-class identity protection based on Microsofts Intelligent Security Graph.
Gartners analysis says a lot about our commitment to the identity and access management space. More importantly, though, it says a lot about our customers, implementation partners, and ISV partners who have worked with us, sharing their time and energy every day to ensure the products and services we build meet their needs and position them to thrive in a world increasingly driven by cloud technology.
We promise to continue delivering innovative capabilities to address your needs in the identity and access management space and to further improve our position in the leaders quadrant of the Gartner AM MQ.
