Identity governance has become automated and gives full visibility into all human and agent access
The best features Linx Security offers include an access graph that shows every employee, every agent, every non-human identity, and what connects to them. They don't stop only on showing visibility but also take action. They have workflow automation which works perfectly. On top of that, they just released their autopilot, which is basically an identity agent running in your environment and can take action on your behalf. On top of that, they have their MCP gateway that can control agents accessing anywhere in the enterprise. The workflow automation has made my daily work easier by replacing a lot of manual work we've been doing. For example, you have an agent, the autopilot, that runs and provisions and de-provisions automatically every admin request. It looks for the context of who asked for it, gives a security risk score, reduces the time that we're spending on it, and frees up time to do other things. We manage contractors and created a just-in-time environment. People that leave the company have workflows running to make sure our posture and governance are how they're supposed to be.

Centralized access has improved privileged control and now provides strong audit visibility
I believe StrongDM can improve its initial setup and onboarding experience for larger enterprise environments like Scania, where we have a lot of processes. Integrating different teams, access policies, and existing identity workflows requires substantial planning. Additionally, I think the dashboard customization and reporting could be more flexible for operational teams, though new teams find it manageable. Once the platform is fully integrated, it provides significant value. Apart from the onboarding experience, I would also mention that the templates for enterprise onboarding and policy setup could benefit from innovative thinking tailored to organizations managing large AWS and Kubernetes workloads. Enhanced customization in dashboards and reporting would further ease operations and provide better insights.
