- Single sign-on (SSO) is a mechanism for outsourcing authentication to third-party identity providers like Google, Okta, etc.
- SSO is critical for IT and Security teams to manage user accounts across multiple vendors efficiently.
- Many SaaS vendors charge significantly higher prices for SSO, often bundling it with 'Enterprise' tiers.
- A list of vendors and their SSO pricing shows increases ranging from 17% to over 16,000%.
- Some vendors do not list SSO pricing publicly, requiring negotiation with account managers.
- SSO should be a core security feature, not a premium add-on, to encourage better security practices.
