Engineering teams that ship AI agents acting on users' behalf, or B2B SaaS products that need enterprise SSO and SCIM quickly.

- One vendor for app SSO/SCIM and agent tool authorization

Look elsewhere if: Consumer apps that only need simple social login, or teams that want a no-code automation tool (Clerk, Zapier).
