WorkOS
Your app, Enterprise Ready.
Overview
WorkOS is a developer-focused platform that provides APIs to quickly make applications 'Enterprise Ready'. Instead of building complex features like Single Sign-On (SSO), Directory Sync (SCIM), and Audit Logs from scratch, developers can integrate WorkOS's unified APIs to support hundreds of enterprise identity providers and directories. It is designed to accelerate the process for SaaS companies to sell to large enterprise customers.
✨ Key Features
- Unified SSO API (SAML, OIDC)
- Unified Directory Sync API (SCIM)
- Audit Logs API
- Admin Portal for IT setup
- Magic Link (Passwordless)
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Purely developer-focused API-first approach
- Unified API abstracts away the complexity of many different IdPs
- Admin Portal feature for customer self-service setup
Unique Value: WorkOS provides simple, unified APIs that allow developers to add enterprise-ready features like SSO and Directory Sync to their apps in minutes, not months.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- A SaaS startup quickly adding SAML SSO to close deals with large enterprise customers.
- Enabling a customer's IT team to automatically provision and de-provision users in a SaaS app from their central IdP.
- Offloading the complexity of supporting dozens of different IdPs to a single API.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Companies looking for an identity provider to manage their own internal employees.
- Organizations that are not software or SaaS companies.
🏆 Alternatives
The primary alternative is building and maintaining integrations for each IdP in-house, which is time-consuming, complex, and costly. WorkOS abstracts this complexity away, allowing development teams to focus on their core product.
