Expert Take
Our analysis shows Strata solves the specific, high-value problem of 'identity technical debt' better than almost any generalist tool. Research indicates their 'air-gap' architecture and 'no-code' recipes allow enterprises to migrate off legacy systems like SiteMinder without the massive cost of rewriting applications—a claim validated by their documented $30M savings for Kroger. Led by the co-author of SAML, Strata is not just a tool but a standards-setter (IDQL) for the multi-cloud era.
