Veza Achieves 100% Customer Recommendation Score

PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Veza, the leader in identity security, announced its inclusion in the Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer (VOC) Report, which provides insights for buyers of technology and services. This marks Veza’s first-ever recognition in the report, highlighting the company’s positive impact on customers who recognize its revolutionary approach to addressing modern identity governance and administration (IGA) challenges and emerging identity security use cases with SaaS security, non-human identity security, privilege access monitoring, and data system access intelligence. Despite being the newest market entrant in the report, Veza achieved a 100% ‘Willingness to Recommend’ score from customers, the only vendor to do so.


The VOC Report compiles and analyzes customer reviews from the Gartner Peer Insights platform. This report is notable because it provides an unbiased, aggregated view of customer experiences, allowing Security and IT leaders to understand market trends and compare vendors based on direct peer feedback. The report synthesizes insights from thousands of reviews across a wide range of technology markets, serving as a valuable complement to Gartner expert analysis and playing a crucial role in the technology buying process.

“In the zero-trust framework, one of the key components is having visibility and understanding identities and access,” said Steve Lodin, Vice President of Information Security at Sallie Mae. “Veza provides access and visibility into SaaS solutions we didn’t have previously. Our job is to make sure that we’re reducing the attack surface to reduce that risk, and one of the ways to reduce the attack surface is to manage, control, and limit—according to least privileges and segregation of duty—people’s access and their identities.”

In the report, Veza’s position as a Strong Performer underscores the company’s commitment to solving customers’ critical identity security needs. Before Veza, seeing the truth of enterprise access was practically impossible. There was no way to unravel the web of identities and permissions spread across hundreds of systems. Only Veza enables identity and security teams to visualize and right-size access permissions across all systems. The identity security landscape is changing rapidly with increased Cloud and AI adoption and a corresponding explosion of human and non-human identities—generating identity security risks that cannot be addressed by legacy solutions. By equipping users with the unique ability to see who can perform what actions on data across all systems and applications, Veza empowers organizations to confidently address these identity security risks while achieving and sustaining least privilege.

“We are thankful to our customers and honored to be recognized for the first time ever in the Gartner Peer Insights report,” said Tarun Thakur, CEO and Co-Founder of Veza. “We’re solving a fundamental challenge in today’s dynamic threat landscape by empowering our customers to visualize, control, and secure identity-based access to critical data and enterprise systems. This type of recognition underscores our commitment and ability to deliver rapid customer value and the transformation that we are bringing for organizations to activate, modernize, and operationalize their IGA needs across the enterprise.”

Recent company highlights also include:

  • Triple-digit year-over-year ARR growth
  • More than 120% enterprise net revenue retention (NRR)
  • Industry Recognition: CRN 2024 Top Stellar Startups, Fortune Cyber 60, and others
  • New customers across Fortune 500 and Global 2000 in financial services, healthcare, pharma, life sciences, retail, and technology
