Choose fileForensics if

Insurance, lending and finance operations teams that need an auditable fraud signal on every incoming file before automation.

  • Evidence-based findings are easier to audit than a single score
  • Outcome pricing bills only completed runs
  • MCP access lets coding agents add checks to pipelines quickly

Look elsewhere if: Teams that only need data extraction from trusted documents (Nanonets).

Choose Okta if

Mid-sized and large companies with many SaaS apps that need central SSO, MFA and automated joiner, mover and leaver processes.

  • Largest catalog of prebuilt SSO and provisioning integrations
  • Vendor-neutral, works well across Microsoft, Google and AWS
  • Mature lifecycle automation that speeds onboarding and offboarding

Look elsewhere if: Very small teams or those fully on Microsoft 365 (Microsoft Entra ID, Keycloak, 1Password).
