  • They diverge on capability: Entrust Identity as a Service covers Multi-factor authentication, Legit Security covers VibeGuard AI code scanning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Entrust Identity as a Service

  • The application integration catalogue is smaller than that of the dedicated identity vendors, so uncommon SaaS applications more often need custom SAML configuration rather than a template.
  • Developer experience for customer identity use cases is behind the specialists, and teams building consumer signup flows will find the APIs and documentation less complete.
  • Advanced capabilities including adaptive authentication and credential management sit above the published entry price, so the two dollar figure rarely reflects what a regulated buyer actually spends.
  • There are two overlapping products, Identity as a Service and Identity Enterprise, and choosing wrongly at the start means a migration later rather than a licence change.
  • Identity governance, access certification and privileged access are not covered, so an organisation with audit-driven access review requirements needs a second vendor alongside it.

Legit Security

  • Pricing requires contacting sales, making cost comparison difficult
  • No published pricing tiers or free tier available
  • Requires integration with existing SAST and SCA tools for full capability
  • Focused primarily on code security within development lifecycle
  • Newer entrant with less market presence than established competitors

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Entrust Identity as a Service: Is MFA included or extra?

Multi-factor authentication is included in the workforce bundles rather than sold separately, which is not true of every competitor. Adaptive risk-based authentication sits in higher tiers.

Legit Security: What is VibeGuard and how does it work?

VibeGuard is Legit Security's core feature that scans AI-generated code directly within IDEs like GitHub Copilot and Cursor, identifying vulnerabilities before code leaves the developer's editor.

Source
Entrust Identity as a Service: Does it do identity governance?

No. Access certification, role mining and joiner-mover-leaver governance require a separate product such as SailPoint or Saviynt.

Legit Security: What AI code assistants does Legit Security support?

Legit Security integrates with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude to scan AI-generated code for vulnerabilities.

Source
Entrust Identity as a Service: Why choose this over Okta or Entra ID?

Almost always because of PKI, smart cards or derived credentials. Without that requirement the mainstream platforms are the stronger general purpose choice.

Legit Security: How does Legit Security's AI remediation feature work?

The platform uses AI to suggest specific code fixes for identified vulnerabilities and can automatically create tickets in Jira with full context for developers to review and apply.

Source
Legit Security: Does Legit Security support compliance reporting?

Yes, Legit Security automates compliance automation with SBOM generation and can generate compliance reports for security and regulatory requirements.
