Our take
Where LogicGate Risk Cloud leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 22 of the 31 capabilities where they differ (led by centralized control matrix / repository and risk-to-control linkage).
- Published pricing where the alternative quotes.
- Stated Workday integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where SAP Access Control leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 9 of the 31 capabilities where they differ (led by self-service access request & provisioning and emergency / firefighter access management).
- Stated SAP integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where they differ
The 31 capabilities (of 44 in the SOX & internal controls 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.
