&lt;p&gt;Oh Okta is the one most security architects point to as the trusted standard, heavily reviewed and well-rated, known for broad app integrations and reliable enterprise-grade identity governance. Microsoft Entra ID is the other major trusted name, especially if you&#39;re already deep in the Microsoft ecosystem, since architects like having identity tied natively into Azure and M365. Cisco Duo is worth adding specifically for strong MFA and access security if that&#39;s the layer you&#39;re most focused on hardening. To be real, &quot;trusted by security architects&quot; usually comes down to how well the platform&#39;s conditional access and audit logging map to your specific compliance needs, so I&#39;d pressure-test each on your actual access policies (not just SSO) before deciding. Are you building this from scratch, or replacing an existing IAM platform?&lt;/p&gt;
