01Competitive Landscape

Narrative competitive analysis

- Against Microsoft Entra ID: Entra ID is often preferable for organizations standardized on Microsoft 365/Azure because of integration with M365 and published list pricing. Broadcom’s portfolio may be selected where on-prem WAM and deep legacy integration are primary requirements or where existing Broadcom/CA/Symantec investments are substantial. - Against Okta: Okta commonly offers a user experience and integration ecosystem aligned with SaaS-first adoption. Broadcom’s portfolio can be more appropriate where on-premises control, legacy WAM enforcement, or integrated IGA functionality is prioritized. - Against SailPoint/Saviynt (IGA specialists): Broadcom IGA is an established option for governance programs; specialist vendors may be preferred where cloud-native roadmaps, modern UX, and third-party ecosystem momentum are key selection criteria.

Market share / adoption trends

Third-party web tracking and install-base estimates exist for components such as SiteMinder, but these sources are not authoritative market-share metrics. Treat such estimates as directional rather than precise.

	Broadcom IAM (Portfolio: VIP + SiteMinder/Access Mgmt + Symantec IGA)	Microsoft Entra ID	Okta Workforce Identity
Starting Price	Typically quote-based (varies by component/enterprise agreement)	Entra ID P1 has published per-user pricing available from the vendor	Workforce entry-tier has published per-user pricing available from the vendor
Most suitable for	Hybrid/on-prem enterprises requiring WAM and governance-heavy IGA; estates standardized on Broadcom/CA/Symantec tooling	Microsoft-centric organizations with extensive M365/Azure usage and need for Conditional Access	Organizations prioritizing SaaS-first SSO/MFA, broad integration catalog, and streamlined admin UX
Key strength	Coverage of legacy applications via agents/proxies and established IGA capabilities within a suite	Tight Microsoft 365/Azure integration and published list pricing	Strong admin UX, large integration catalog, and developer-focused identity tooling
Key weakness	Pricing opacity; reported portal/support friction; implementation effort can be substantial	Complexity in environments not standardized on Microsoft; some advanced features require higher licensing tiers	Costs can increase with add-ons and governance features may require additional licensing
