Top ratings for Microsoft in KuppingerCole Leadership Compass reports

Howdy folks, 

We received some news recently that I’m glad to share with you. KuppingerCole has granted Microsoft the highest rating in the Overall Leader category in two critical identity reports: the 2022 Leadership Compass for Identity Fabrics and the 2022 Leadership Compass for Access Management. They’ve also placed Microsoft as a Market Leader, Innovation Leader, and Product Leader in both reports.

These ratings reflect an alignment between KuppingerCole’s and Microsoft’s visions for the future of identity as a trust fabric of the digital ecosystem, a key to securing all digital interactions. In building the identity solution that can serve the digital ecosystem long into the future, we’ve invested in a number of cloud and hybrid scenarios, such as decentralized identity, app and device identities, partner and guest identities, multi-cloud, and Zero Trust. We’re humbled to see these investments recognized by the industry. 

The credit for this recognition must be shared with you – our customers. Your insights guide our product direction, and your thorough feedback through our collaborative engineering and public preview programs helps refine our product experience.
