Problem

Enterprise identity providers such as Okta, Microsoft Entra, OneLogin, and Ping depend heavily on SAML and SCIM, but many important applications do not support those standards or place them behind expensive enterprise upgrades. Aglide describes the resulting pain as both operational and economic: vendors such as Slack and Salesforce may double or triple per-user pricing to unlock SAML, some vendors impose minimum license commitments, and older or smaller applications may offer no SAML support at all. This leaves security and IT teams managing disconnected access manually, with weaker visibility, cumbersome offboarding, and unnecessary software spend.

The killer use case is securing applications and shared accounts that cannot be brought into a company’s normal SSO stack, including legacy banking portals, social-media and advertising accounts, Discord, Squarespace, and sensitive accounts such as AWS root. The problem is especially acute when credentials are shared among employees, contractors, or agencies, because access must be controlled and audited without exposing passwords or leaving former users active.

Product / Service

Aglide is an enterprise access-management platform that connects non-SAML and non-SCIM applications to a customer’s existing identity provider. An organization can use Aglide as a standalone SSO layer or connect it to Okta, Entra, OneLogin, Ping, or another existing provider. Aglide’s agentic identity technology and local/browser-based components allow an application to be connected without a custom integration catalog or app-side engineering; the company says customers can be live within a day.

Once connected, an application is managed like a native IdP-integrated service: administrators can enforce MFA, conditional access, RBAC, provisioning and deprovisioning, access revocation, and audit logging. Aglide also manages shared credentials behind SSO, keeping raw passwords away from end users and browsers, while its zero-trust, end-to-end encrypted vaults and local agent operation are intended to reduce credential exposure. The benefit is a single control point for access visibility, lifecycle management, session control, and security policy across otherwise disconnected applications, without paying every application vendor’s SSO premium.

Market

Aglide competes in enterprise identity and access management, particularly the emerging category of non-SAML SSO and disconnected-application governance. It is complementary to, rather than a replacement for, mainstream identity providers such as Okta and Microsoft Entra: its wedge is extending those systems to legacy, shared, privileged, social, and other applications that native SSO cannot reach. Adjacent alternatives include Cerby and legacy-application access gateways such as PingGateway, ForgeRock Identity Gateway, OpenIAM rProxy, and CyberArk Identity, while password managers and privileged-access products address overlapping shared-account use cases.

Aglide is not presented as pre-revenue, but the public materials reviewed do not disclose revenue, ARR, or funding amounts. They do show an active YC Summer 2023 company with enterprise adoption: the company names public fintech Gemini and media company The Motley Fool as customers, and its own site also displays Ton.org and Vivun. Aglide’s privacy policy says it sells solely to enterprise customers, providing evidence of a commercial B2B model; the strongest publicly visible traction is therefore customer deployment and named references rather than a reported financial metric.
