When it comes to identity governance, how do you know what’s best for your business? Weighing the pros and cons of best-in-breed vs. platform
When it comes to identity management security tools today, there are two main camps: best-of-breed and platform. When choosing between best-of-breed solutions and integrated platform solutions it's important to weigh their respective advantages and disadvantages. In order to perform a thorough analysis, it’s recommended to have a firm grasp of your organization’s objectives, maturity, priorities and capabilities -- for example, whether your organization can effectively manage multiple vendors, or whether your organization would benefit from a platform approach that may be too broad for your complex needs.

You can only choose what's best for your organization once you've taken a realistic and accurate look at your organization, its skills and its needs.
