Every identity.Governed from day one.
Lumos governs the apps inside its catalog. Zluri governs the whole identity surface: human and non-human, shadow and dormant, discovered across 9 signal sources and managed on one platform.
The architectural difference
Lumos governs the catalog. Zluri governs the whole identity surface.
Lumos is an IGA point solution with a flagship AppStore, and it governs the apps that live inside its integration library. Zluri adds the three layers Lumos does not cover at all, and they happen to be three of the most common audit findings of 2025: non-human identities, multi-method discovery for shadow IT, and continuous posture management. Three areas where the difference shows up first.
Every identity, human and non-human.
Service accounts, API tokens, OAuth grants, and AI agents. Zluri discovers them through 9 signal sources and governs them with the same reviews, lifecycle, and risk scoring as human users. Lumos governs human identities only, so in environments where non-human identities outnumber human users, it leaves a blind spot.
Multi-method discovery: 9 signal sources.
Zluri discovers apps through IdPs and SSO, finance and expense systems, direct integrations, desktop agents, browser extensions, CASBs, MDMs, HRMS, and directories. That catches shadow IT and direct sign-ups that never enter an integration library. Customers routinely find 3x more apps than they expected.
A dedicated ISPM layer, on the same platform.
Zluri ships a dedicated Identity Security Posture Management product plus SaaS-first Segregation of Duties: continuous over-privilege and dormant-account detection, identity risk scoring, and 1,500+ remediation actions, all native to the same platform as IGA. Lumos has no posture layer, so over-privilege accumulates between review cycles.
The honest comparison
Every capability that matters. Scored.
We do not hide the rows where Lumos is competitive or ahead. Its AppStore, AI-driven lifecycle, and JIT access are genuine strengths. Click any row to see what the score means and how we got there.
9 discovery methods (HRMS, IdP, browser, desktop, CASB, finance, MDM, directories, direct integrations). Customers discover 3x more apps than expected. Lumos discovery is tied to its integration library, with no multi-method coverage.
Service accounts, API tokens, OAuth connections, and AI agents discovered and governed with access reviews, lifecycle, and risk scoring. Lumos is human-identity only, so NHI governance requires a separate tool.
Browser, desktop, and finance-system scanning catch apps that bypass SSO and never enter an integration library, including OAuth connections and direct sign-ups. Lumos has no multi-method shadow IT discovery, so apps outside its library are invisible.
The AppStore is Lumos's flagship product and a consumer-grade access request experience where employees request in one click. Consistently cited as a top strength with end users and engineering-led orgs. Zluri's catalog is functional and serves all user types, but if catalog polish is your single deciding factor, Lumos leads here.
Lumos's AppStore JIT with time-bound approvals delivers a better JIT user experience than Zluri's Access Duration condition. The caveat: Lumos JIT is limited to apps inside its integration library, and apps outside it fall back to manual processes. If a polished native JIT flow is a hard day-one requirement, Lumos leads.
Lumos offers AI-driven lifecycle management through its Albus AI agent, with strong appeal to engineering-led buyers. Zluri has no AI reviewer capability today. Zluri's automation is no-code and policy-based rather than AI-agent-driven.
1,500+ granular provisioning actions across 300+ apps, beyond basic SCIM: license assignment, group membership, file transfers, email forwarding, and device lockdown on offboarding. Lumos provisioning is competitive but spans fewer integrations.
Zluri supports multi-step approval routing with conditions based on risk score, compliance tags, access duration, department, job title, and app role, plus native Jira ITSM integration. Lumos has clean, well-regarded workflows but less condition depth.
Zluri offers SaaS-first Segregation of Duties with toxic-combination detection and support for traditional systems, applied across native integrations to apps like Salesforce, Okta, GitHub, and Jira. SoD is not a core Lumos capability. If SoD is in your SOX or ISO scope, this is a hard gap on the Lumos side.
Zluri detects over-privilege, dormant accounts, and access drift continuously, not just during certification cycles. Every alert connects to a remediation action on the same platform. Lumos does not offer ISPM as a category, so there is no monitoring between review cycles.
Every identity (human, service account, API token) gets a unified risk score, so teams prioritize the highest-risk identities first. Lumos does not provide posture-based risk scoring.
Proof of Value
“Autify aligns with SOC 2, and we seriously care about security. Undiscovered SaaS applications created a security vulnerability. Zluri’s closed this security gap efficiently and effectively.”
Takumi, Manager, IT & Administration
“We thought we had a couple of 100 applications. After we engaged Zluri, we discovered well over 2500 apps in our ecosystem!”
Terry LaRock, Head of Procurement
“With Zluri, we quickly discovered all the different applications and current usages inside every platform. We noticed several apps were not utilized by multiple users in the last 30 or 60 days.”
Lior Zagury, Director of Global IT
