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.
ZeroTek helps Partners deliver Okta’s industry-leading IAM at scale through:
- A purpose-built, multi-tenant dashboard designed for secure and efficient MSP operations
- Repeatable, field-tested Okta deployments that enable standardization where needed—and customization where required
- Monthly, consumption-based billing that aligns with how SMBs (and MSPs) prefer to buy and grow
Deliver Okta’s enterprise-grade IAM to SMBs—without enterprise-grade friction—with ZeroTek.
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).
