Google Cloud Identity

Stub scaffolded from survey-v2.csv row (General Identity). Unverified — fill via wiki-research.

One-liner — Google’s identity-as-a-service offering (IdP/SSO/MFA, device and user management) — the identity front door for Google Workspace / Google Cloud shops, as Entra ID is for M365 shops.

What it does — TBD: managed IdP with SSO, MFA, device management, and directory services; standalone or bundled with Google Workspace. Detail and editions unverified.

Naming / provenance — TBD: relationship between Cloud Identity, Google Workspace identity, and Identity Platform (CIAM) needs disambiguation.

Ownership & viability — Product of Google (Alphabet, public). No standalone viability question.

Positioning & differentiators — TBD: vs microsoft-entra (bundled-with-suite incumbent for the Google-first shop), okta (neutral hub).

Who should choose them / anti-fit — TBD: default for Google Workspace shops; unlikely primary IdP for the (majority) M365-centric fund.

Known weaknesses / gotchas — TBD.

Deployment & data handling — SaaS; details TBD.

Integrations & partnerships — TBD: SAML/OIDC app catalog, agent/workload identity story.

Compliance & FS traction — TBD.

Commercial — TBD: free vs Premium editions; Workspace bundling.

Open questions

• Everything above marked TBD is unverified — fill via wiki-research, never guess.
• Whether to survey it separately from Google Workspace (most respondents may not distinguish).
