NEXIS in EMEA: What Gartner Peer Insights™ Industry Data Reveals

When organizations evaluate Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions, one question matters more than ever: Which platforms are proving relevant in real-world industry environments?

Based on our review of the public product listings for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), NEXIS shows notable visibility across several industries, especially in highly regulated and operationally complex sectors.

A signal across complex EMEA industries

Based on the review of the public Gartner® Peer Insights™ product listings in the Identity Governance and Administration market, NEXIS appears in the following positions across selected EMEA industry views (April, 7 2026): [1]

• #2 in Insurance (except health), EMEA
• #2 in Manufacturing, EMEA
• #5 in Telecommunication, EMEA

We believe, these positions are notable because they reflect industries where identity governance is especially challenging. Organizations in these sectors often deal with complex access structures, regulatory requirements, legacy systems, and growing pressure to improve transparency and control across hybrid environments.

Why we think these industries matter

What stands out is not just the range of industries, but the type of industries.

Insurance, banking, telecommunications, transportation, and manufacturing all share a similar challenge: identity governance cannot be treated as a narrow workflow problem. In these environments, access structures are often shaped by years of system growth and organizational change, highly specific entitlements, regulatory obligations, segregation-of-duties concerns, and a need to explain access decisions to auditors, security teams, and business stakeholders.

We believe that is exactly the type of environment NEXIS is built for. The NEXIS platform as an Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform (IVIP) helps organizations create a connected, explainable view of identities, entitlements, roles, risks, and governance relationships across heterogeneous systems. It is vendor-neutral and integrates with existing IGA, PAM, and security tooling rather than replacing it – making it a natural fit for complex, heterogeneous environments.

More than workflow: visibility, intelligence, and explainability

Traditional IGA discussions often focus on provisioning workflows, certifications, and policy enforcement. Those capabilities remain essential, but they are no longer enough on their own.

Modern organizations increasingly need:

• Better visibility into who has access to what
• Explainable relationships between identities, entitlements, and roles
• Faster onboarding of complex applications
• Stronger governance across hybrid environments
• Better decision support for access reviews, role design, and remediation

This is where NEXIS IVIP becomes relevant. It is a way to consolidate IAM-relevant data across systems into a connected, analyzable intelligence layer.

In 2025, NEXIS had been mentioned in two Gartner Hype Cycles: in the innovation area Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) in the Gartner Hype Cycle™ for Digital Identity, 2025 and in the innovation area AI for Access Administration in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Zero-Trust Technology, 2025. In our view both categories are highly relevant for the future of digital identity, especially where identity fabrics, AI-assisted governance, and more integrated access intelligence are becoming strategic priorities.
