While I agree, an SSO login wall is really the most trivial of these enterprise features to implement. Even the most basic SaaS app out there supports it already, and there are enough libraries in every language you can use. So while WorkOS might make things easier in that area, it won't be a game changer, at least not with its current feature set.

Start talking about compliance with a hundred different standards (ISO/IEC, SOC, CSA, GDPR, APEC, HIPAA, FINRA, FedRAMP), data residency, eDiscovery, audit logging, RBAC, invoicing, uptime SLAs, analytics, MDM, disabling features and your customers will be a LOT more interested.

I've seen a SaaS app team who couldn't implement OIDC because their login screen is actually some kind of maven plugin (so they don't control it). They can't move to the latest version of that plugin that does supports OIDC, because that needs the latest Maven version. They're using a BPE (process engine), though, that is end-of-life and won't work with the latest Maven.

They're in dependency hell. So we put their whole app behind a proxy that does our SSO.
