The SPARK Matrix provides a snapshot of the leading technology vendors in the global market.
As part of the 2020 report on the global IoT IAM market, Quadrant Knowledge Solutions conducted an in-depth analysis of the major IoT IAM vendors by evaluating their product portfolio, market presence, and value proposition. Ping Identity was deemed a leader based on its comprehensive Ping Intelligent Identity™ platform, advanced functional capabilities, and strong overall customer impact.
