Platform agnostic - on-
prem or cloud
IAM is a critical component of your security strategy. But many IAM solutions integrate only with cloud-based applications, leaving your legacy, on-prem applications out in the cold. Akku plays well with ALL of your apps. Our 500+ pre-built connectors enable effortless integration with most popular SaaS platforms. And we’re by your side to develop custom connectors to your in-house applications - whether they’re on the cloud or hosted on-premises. Meaning your IAM deployment covers every corner of your IT environment for comprehensive security.
Akku’s 500+ pre-built connectors and custom integrations for both cloud and on-prem apps ensure your IAM deployment covers every corner of your IT environment for comprehensive security
Friction-free
implementation
Getting your IAM up and running can be complicated and expensive - a major reason for failed IAM projects. Akku has been designed to be user-friendly and intuitive for anyone with minimal technical knowledge to set up. Akku’s DIY design has been carefully crafted by studying several of its competitors. We have used intuitive workflows so that you find what you need without looking up a training manual. Even so, our pre-sales team is standing by to help with implementation and ensure you get everything you need out of the product.
Akku's DIY design is user-friendly, requiring minimal technical knowledge. Intuitive workflows eliminate the need for training manuals, and our pre-sales team is available to assist with implementation.
No-limits
customizability
and flexibility
Akku embodies the philosophy that IAM cannot be one-size-fits-all. Its modular architecture lets you implement only the functionality you need. Your security needs today are not the same as last year, and they’ll look significantly different next year. Akku is built to ensure you can adapt to your changing needs and implement what you need when you need it. The result is a cost-effective path to meeting your security priorities at every stage of your business’ growth. From unique workflows to custom access control functionalities, tell your Akku account manager what you need, and we’ll build it for you.
