About Pathlock

Pathlock is a governance and application security vendor headquartered in Denver. Its platform documents access governance, continuous controls monitoring, cybersecurity application controls and dynamic access control. Segregation-of-duties analysis spans SAP, Oracle and Workday and uses actual activity to separate potential from utilised risk. Pathlock Cloud is a managed service, and Pathlock Native runs inside SAP’s ABAP architecture.

Why buyers compare Pathlock alternatives

The access governance pages show no list price, so a scoped quote is needed. Connector, module and deployment coverage must be confirmed for each estate. A reseller listing bills extra connectors as separate line items. Cybersecurity controls and access governance are sold as separate product lines. Published customer outcomes name organisations only by stock ticker.

Vendor details and trade-offs

SAP Access Control (SAP GRC)

enterprisesap.com ↗
Consider forSAP shops wanting access risk analysis native to SAP's own platform
Pricing notesAccess Control: quote-based; separate Cloud IAG standard edition lists USD 9,019/month per 1,000 resources (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateSAP-supplied access governance, with edition-specific scope

SAP Access Control is SAP's own access governance product, covering risk analysis, periodic reviews and emergency access on a quote basis. Pathlock adds controls monitoring and cybersecurity modules across SAP, Oracle and Workday. SAP's separate Cloud IAG standard edition lists USD 9,019 monthly per 1,000 resources.

Potential strengths

  • Access Control documents risk analysis, periodic reviews and emergency access
  • SAP also offers cloud-delivered IAG; evaluate its edition separately

Trade-offs

  • Access Control and Cloud IAG are distinct offerings with different licensing
  • IAG integration edition excludes access certification and privileged access management

SailPoint Access Risk Management

enterprisesailpoint.com ↗
Consider forOrganizations standardizing SAP, Oracle and Workday risk inside one identity platform
Pricing notesNo list price on reviewed page (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateCertified SAP RISE integration inside a full identity security platform

SailPoint Access Risk Management is an add-on to SailPoint's identity security platform, with a certified SAP RISE integration. Like Pathlock, it covers SAP, Oracle and Workday risk, but full value requires adopting the wider SailPoint platform. Neither vendor publishes a list price.

Potential strengths

  • Direct lineage from the ERP Maestro acquisition gives a mature segregation-of-duties engine now embedded in a broader identity governance platform
  • A certified SAP RISE integration keeps the tool aligned with SAP's move to managed cloud S/4HANA, including support for Fiori apps

Trade-offs

  • Full value requires adopting SailPoint's broader identity security platform rather than deploying Access Risk Management as a standalone SAP tool
  • Pricing is not published and is generally quoted as part of a wider identity security engagement rather than as an isolated add-on

Saviynt

enterprisesaviynt.com ↗
Consider forEnterprises wanting AI-prioritized SAP SoD inside a converged identity governance suite
Pricing notesNo list price on reviewed page (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateApplication-specific SoD rules and access certifications across business systems

Saviynt places AI-prioritised SAP segregation-of-duties analysis inside a converged identity governance suite, with rulesets for SAP, Workday and Oracle. Pathlock covers the same three applications and adds controls monitoring and cybersecurity modules. Neither reviewed page establishes a price, so versions and workflow scope need confirmation.

Potential strengths

  • Documents rulesets for SAP, Workday and Oracle
  • Combines access analytics with certification and emergency-access workflows

Trade-offs

  • The reviewed product page does not establish a deployment-specific price
  • Validate required application versions and the scope of each workflow before purchase

SafePaaS

mid-marketsafepaas.com ↗
Consider forFiori-heavy SAP landscapes needing authorization-object-level SoD rules
Pricing notesNo list price on reviewed page (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateSoD checks built on how SAP authorization objects and derived roles actually combine

SafePaaS suits Fiori-heavy SAP landscapes needing segregation-of-duties rules built on how authorisation objects and derived roles combine, with conflicts checked before access is granted. Pathlock separates potential from utilised risk using actual activity. SafePaaS has a smaller analyst footprint and limited public packaging detail.

Potential strengths

  • Guidance and rule logic are built around how SAP authorization objects, organizational levels and derived roles actually combine, not just a flat transaction-code list
  • Compliant provisioning checks segregation-of-duties impact before access is granted rather than only flagging conflicts after the fact

Trade-offs

  • Publicly available detail on packaging and module pricing is limited compared with the larger competitors in this comparison
  • SafePaaS carries a smaller analyst and community footprint than the SAP-native or Big Four-backed alternatives

Fastpath

mid-marketdelinea.com ↗
Consider forMid-market groups running SAP alongside Dynamics, NetSuite or Oracle EBS
Pricing notesQuote-based (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateMore than 20 rule sets via a KPMG alliance, spanning SAP and nine other applications

Fastpath, now under Delinea, fits mid-market groups running SAP beside Dynamics, NetSuite or Oracle EBS, with more than 20 KPMG rule sets across ten applications. Pathlock targets enterprises across SAP, Oracle and Workday. Fastpath is quote-based, and its SAP rule depth should be tested.

Potential strengths

  • A single dashboard tracks and mitigates access risk across SAP and non-SAP applications at once rather than requiring a tool per system
  • A KPMG alliance document states more than 1,000 customers in over 30 countries use the platform for SoD monitoring and compliance

Trade-offs

  • SAP-specific rule depth has not been benchmarked here; test authorization objects, custom transactions and organizational restrictions
  • Pricing is not published, and the ownership change to Delinea in 2024 is worth confirming during procurement

ControlPanelGRC

specialistnttdata-solutions.com ↗
Consider forSAP customers wanting access, process, basis and security controls from one rapid-deploy platform
Pricing notesNo list price on reviewed page (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateFour linked solution suites covering access, process, basis and security controls in one platform

ControlPanelGRC, from NTT DATA Business Solutions, links access, process, basis and security controls in one SAP-only platform, with implementation stated at under a week. Pathlock reaches beyond SAP to Oracle, Workday, Microsoft Entra ID and ServiceNow. ControlPanelGRC has smaller analyst coverage and no list price.

Potential strengths

  • The vendor states implementation can complete in under a week, versus the months typical of comparable GRC rollouts
  • Access risk analysis sits alongside process, basis and security-administration controls in one connected platform rather than four separate tools

Trade-offs

  • Brand and product ownership have shifted across NTT Ltd., itelligence and NTT DATA Business Solutions over the years, which complicates procurement history and search
  • Public analyst and independent review coverage is smaller than for the SAP-native or identity-governance-platform options in this comparison

Soterion

specialistsoterion.com ↗
Consider forSAP-only teams wanting access risk tied directly to SAP license cost
Pricing notesNo list price on reviewed page (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateAccess risk output tied directly to SAP Full User Equivalent license cost

Soterion is built only for SAP and ties access risk output to SAP Full User Equivalent licence cost. Pathlock analyses SAP together with Oracle and Workday. Soterion's non-SAP coverage is not established in its entry, and it publishes no list price.

Potential strengths

  • The tool is purpose-built exclusively for SAP, so setup and rulesets avoid the compromises of a generic multi-ERP product
  • Access risk output links directly to SAP Full User Equivalent license exposure, a connection few competitors make explicit

Trade-offs

  • Analyst and market presence is narrower than the larger enterprise or identity-governance-platform vendors in this comparison
  • Non-SAP and cross-system coverage is not established by this entry; obtain current connector and rule documentation if required

Xiting

specialistxiting.com ↗
Consider forSAP Basis teams running large role redesign or S/4HANA migration projects
Pricing notesNo list price on reviewed page (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateTrace-based automated role building with risk rules checked during design

Xiting serves SAP Basis teams on role redesign or S/4HANA migration, building roles from traces of actual usage with risk rules checked during design. Pathlock centres on cross-application risk analysis and continuous controls monitoring. Xiting's continuous monitoring is thinner, and it publishes no list price.

Potential strengths

  • A SAP-certified integration for S/4HANA and S/4HANA Cloud keeps the tool aligned with SAP's current release line
  • Automated role building claims up to 65 percent less effort than manual authorization projects, per vendor documentation

Trade-offs

  • The on-premise-centric deployment model suits SAP Basis teams more than buyers seeking a cloud-first purchase
  • Ongoing continuous risk monitoring is thinner than in vendors built primarily around detective monitoring rather than role construction

smartGRC

mid-marketsmartgrc.eu ↗
Consider forMid-market SAP customers of roughly 200 to 1,000 users who need a published price before starting procurement
Pricing notesStarter EUR 15,000 per year up to 400 SAP users; Professional EUR 30,000 per year up to 800; Enterprise EUR 60,000 per year above 800, excluding implementation (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateA published annual list price for each package, in a category where almost every vendor quotes privately

smartGRC publishes annual list prices from EUR 15,000 for up to 400 SAP users to EUR 60,000 above 800, excluding implementation, while Pathlock shows no access governance price. smartGRC targets 200 to 1,000 SAP users and states that some capabilities are still in active development.

Potential strengths

  • List prices are published in the vendor's own partner guide, tier by tier and by user band
  • Modules cover emergency access, access review, segregation of duties, reporting, workflow and role design in one platform

Trade-offs

  • The vendor states on its own homepage that some capabilities are live today while others are in active development
  • The company is a niche vendor targeting 200 to 1,000 SAP users, so very large estates fall outside the stated sweet spot

CERPASS

mid-marketcerpasssoftware.com ↗
Consider forSAP customers wanting a Business Technology Platform native governance application without new infrastructure
Pricing notesNo list price on vendor page (checked Sep 2026)
Feature to evaluateBuilt entirely on the SAP Business Technology Platform, so the governance application sits inside the SAP ecosystem with no external middleware

CERPASS runs entirely on the SAP Business Technology Platform with no external middleware, while Pathlock offers a managed cloud service or a native ABAP deployment. CERPASS documents deployment in five to ten business days. It is a small team, names no customers and publishes no price.

Potential strengths

  • Deployment is documented at five to ten business days, with an initial access risk assessment stated at thirty minutes
  • The interface follows SAP Fiori conventions, which shortens the learning curve for existing SAP users

Trade-offs

  • No price is published, despite the vendor positioning itself on cost against larger suites
  • The vendor is a small team and the site names no customers, so references must be requested directly
