Our mission at Styra is to provide unified authorization and policy across the cloud-native stack.

With a combination of open source (Open Policy Agent) and commercial products (Styra Declarative Authorization Service and Styra Run), Styra provides security, operations and compliance guardrails to protect applications, as well as the infrastructure they run on. Styra policy-as-code approach lets developers, DevOps, and security teams mitigate risks, reduce human error and accelerate application development. Styra is rethinking authorization policy by providing enterprises with context-based policy guardrails to mitigate risk, reduce errors and accelerate development




## Styra Reviews
  ### 1. Versatile and needed tool for managing Open Policy Agent Instances at scale.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2023

**What do you like best about Styra?**

Styra DAS, as a control plane for managing our Open Policy Agent instances for Kubernetes dynamic admission control,  gave us a much-needed overview of what is going on in our systems. Without we would have had to build something, with limited feature scope, ourselves and maintain it. 
The Support team is and was of great help. Conceptual as also technical support was delivered ad-hoc via Slack or during cadence calls.

**What do you dislike about Styra?**

Major changes or feature requests, if not critical, can be slow. I believe this is due to their development team still growing. Since Styra is still a young company, I´m confident that this will change over time.

**What problems is Styra solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In our case, it helps to enforce enterprise policies at the technical level. The technological building blocks like Kubernetes or Crossplane do not always supply the needed tooling to do so easily. It helps to have the possibility to change policy independent from our software development lifecycle, which is especially needed due to our growing teams.

  ### 2. The greatest authorization tech company out there.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2022

**What do you like best about Styra?**

Technology, flexibility, Collab with Styra team, Hands-on-mentality, leadership engagement.

**What do you dislike about Styra?**

Styra is still scaling up, so next to some pro's this leads also to less processes and some things will improve over time.

**What problems is Styra solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Authorization for Digital products from Microservices to RBAC.
