Our verdict on tenfold
tenfold is an identity governance and administration platform for organizations managing access across on-premises systems, Microsoft 365, and business applications. It suits teams that want to automate user lifecycle tasks and govern permissions in a self-hosted environment. Its core scope includes onboarding and offboarding, role-based assignment and revocation, self-service access requests, password resets, permission reporting, periodic or event-based access reviews, and separation-of-duties enforcement.
The platform is designed for Windows and self-hosted deployment, with a REST API and no-code plugin library for connecting applications and IT systems. Essentials covers Active Directory and file servers, while Essentials 365 adds Entra ID, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive integration, as well as access control across cloud and on-premises environments. Enterprise includes the Essentials 365 capabilities plus third-party integrations such as SAP, Workday, and HCL Notes, and advanced integrations and automation. This tiered approach is relevant for organizations with mixed environments, but teams should check that their required systems fit the appropriate edition before choosing.
According to the vendor's pricing page, Essentials is $0.90 per managed identity per month with annual billing, and Essentials 365 is $1.25 per managed identity per month with annual billing. The vendor also lists a free plan and a 30-day free trial. Community Edition is described as including full functionality and all plugins, and the product description says it is for up to 150 users. Essentials has a minimum yearly subscription size of 100 users. tenfold is a sensible fit for teams prioritizing self-hosted governance and broad lifecycle controls; organizations seeking a SaaS service should consider another option.
