Scored 0–5 against a published rubric. Independent analysis, no vendor sponsorship.

Overview

Imprivata is the dominant identity and access vendor in healthcare, known for clinical single sign-on, tap-and-go badge access, and privileged access for care settings. It sold its general IGA business to SailPoint in 2024 to focus on access and PAM in healthcare.

Capability deep-dive

Speed and convenience for clinicians, shared-workstation handling, and healthcare-specific workflows are unmatched in that vertical. Outside healthcare its horizontal IGA and developer story are limited, and it is a vertical specialist by design.

Pricing

Quote-based enterprise licensing.

Bottom line

The default access-and-identity choice for healthcare, narrow outside it.
