Our take
Where CheckAud leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 10 of the 22 capabilities where they differ (led by usage-based risk prioritization and regulatory framework alignment).
Where SailPoint leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 12 of the 22 capabilities where they differ (led by what-if access simulation and identity lifecycle provisioning).
Where they differ
The 22 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.
