- Needs an existing identity provider
- Few public reviews available
Editor's takeStrata solves a narrow but expensive problem, moving off legacy identity systems without rewriting applications. Its CEO co-authored the SAML standard, and Kroger's $30M savings case backs the ROI claim. The tradeoff is a young company with limited public review volume compared to established IAM vendors.
What does Strata's pricing look like?
AWS Marketplace lists Strata at $2,500 per identity provider per month, plus $250 per application per month. Pricing is based on apps and providers connected, not user count.
Does Strata replace an existing identity provider?
No. Strata is an orchestration layer that requires an existing identity provider such as Okta or Azure AD to function, adding a management layer rather than replacing infrastructure.
