NewCore vs SailPoint Entro
| Criterion | NewCore | SailPoint Entro | Diff | NewCore reason | SailPoint Entro reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 8.70 | 6.35 | +2.35 | Position 1 | Position 8 |
| Agent identity and ownership (20) | 10 | 9 | +1 | Every agent is linked to an accountable owner in an identity graph that resolves a person's accounts across identity providers, directories and HR systems. nc-discover | It maps every agent, NHI and secret to a human owner. sp-entro |
| Credential model (20) | 9 | 6 | +3 | Access is short-lived and task-scoped, and the agent never holds the tool's own credential. nc-secure | Just-in-time access runs through Agentic Access Administration. sp-entro |
| Delegation and on-behalf-of (15) | 9 | 5 | +4 | The gateway shows the agent acting on behalf of a person and keeps it within that person's permissions. nc-secure | Delegation is not described in public material. sp-entro |
| Runtime authorization and human approval (20) | 10 | 5 | +5 | Every tool call is checked by one policy engine that allows, asks or denies, and an agent can never approve its own action. nc-secure, nc-govern | It offers granular action policies and session monitoring, but no gateway. sp-entro |
| Discovery of unregistered agents (10) | 8 | 9 | -1 | Read-only integrations find agents without registration and trace access paths outside SSO. nc-discover | Its agent and MCP inventory covers cloud, SaaS, SDLC and endpoints. sp-entro |
| Standards (10) | 5 | 4 | +1 | Public material names SAML, OIDC and an MCP server registry, but not OAuth 2.1, SPIFFE or Cross App Access. nc-foundation, nc-secure | Public material names MCP. sp-entro |
| Buying clarity (5) | 5 | 6 | -1 | There is no list price, though an AWS Marketplace listing with custom units gives a procurement path. nc-aws | It is sold within SailPoint suites with no public price. sp-close |
