Instead of Zoho Directory
Zoho Directory alternatives
Zoho Directory gives IT teams a central way to control employee access to applications and devices. It combines single sign-on, device authentication, multifactor authentication, lifecycle provisioning, and conditional policies using location, IP address, device, platform, day, or time. Anomaly detection, audit logs, BYOK, Cloud LDAP, and more than 350 integrations add administrative controls. Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows are supported. The Free plan costs nothing and allows 10 users, three third-party cloud apps, two directory stores, and 10 device authentications, while Zoho apps remain unlimited.

Teams may seek alternatives when three third-party apps are insufficient, when they need customer or partner identities, or when they prefer self-hosting or developer-focused controls. Standard and Professional plans allow unlimited users and apps, but their amounts are not shown. Compare the identities you manage, required protocols and MFA methods, provisioning, deployment model, device coverage, integrations, support for legacy resources, and recurring cost before switching.
