Are there MSP-friendly IAM solutions in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant?

Gartner MQ Leader status is a credibility signal. Here’s what it means for MSP IAM standardization—and how Partners deliver Okta with ZeroTek.

Bottom Line Up Front

Okta's ninth consecutive Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader recognition validates its IAM leadership, but the real challenge for MSPs is operationalizing it across dozens of SMB clients—which is exactly what ZeroTek's multitenant platform, consumption-based billing, and standardized deployment tools are built to do.

A strong credibility signal for MSPs

The announcement came in November 2025—but the takeaway is just as relevant today: Okta was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Access Management for the ninth year in a row. If you’re evaluating Gartner Magic Quadrant IAM solutions for MSPs, that kind of track record builds confidence.

At ZeroTek, we almost take Gartner’s high assessment of Okta for granted—not because it’s small news, but because Okta’s leadership in this area has been so consistent. After all, we built ZeroTek precisely because we wanted to put the power of Okta in the hands of MSPs and MSSPs. ZeroTek Partners are uniquely equipped to protect their SMB clients with the enterprise-level security they deserve.

Picking a winner is only half the job

Okta will keep leading in enterprise IAM.

The real challenge for MSPs and MSSPs isn’t choosing the right platform—it’s operationalizing it across dozens (or hundreds) of SMB clients. That’s where ZeroTek comes in.

The Microsoft default isn’t always the MSP best fit

You’ll see Gartner also identified Microsoft Entra ID as a Leader alongside Okta. For many MSPs, it can feel like the obvious choice. After all, it’s often already in the stack. But MSPs keep telling us the same thing: “included in the stack” isn’t the same as easy to standardize, secure, operate, evolve, and manage reliably across dozens of client environments. And there are other important factors to consider as well, like Microsoft latency and total cost of ownership (TCO).
