Why do teams look for alternatives to Orchid?

  • Orchid does not provision or revoke access itself, so a team that wants one product to find and fix access needs an IGA or IdP beside it.
  • Its only listed price is one AWS Marketplace package (30 applications, $250,000.00 per 12 months); other terms are by private offer, and on-prem deployment of the platform is not stated.
