Our take
Where SailPoint leads

- Stronger evidenced coverage on 14 of the 24 capabilities where they differ (led by organizational-scope violation detection and usage-based risk prioritization).
Where they differ
The 24 capabilities (of 51 in the access controls & SoD taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
