Zero Trust access has converged on the same basic idea across vendors: don’t trust a login just because the password is correct; check the device too.
Hexnode IdP and Scalefusion OneIdP both take this approach, and both build it directly on top of their own UEM rather than as a separate, disconnected identity product.
This comparison looks at how each product is packaged, how each handles identity federation and conditional access, how each ties identity to the device itself, and where the two diverge on documented scale and scope.
Product Overview
Hexnode IdP is a single control plane that binds user identity to real-time device posture, enforcing policy-driven access to devices and applications. It is offered as a distinct product within the Hexnode suite, alongside Hexnode UEM and Hexnode XDR, with identity federation to Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace, SCIM-based user lifecycle automation, conditional access, role-based access control, contextual MFA, session management, and centralized activity reporting.
Scalefusion OneIdP enforces conditional access for devices and apps using compliance signals from Scalefusion’s UEM and is positioned as a contextual access management platform built on UEM. It supports importing users from Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, Okta, AWS, Cisco Duo, and Salesforce, alongside single sign-on, a company app portal, Identity Federation, Just-in-Time Admin access, and Extended Access Policies that factor in device compliance, IP, location, application status, and OS and patch update status.
| Comparison area | Hexnode IdP | Scalefusion OneIdP |
| Conditional access | Access based on user identity, device compliance, and security context, with step-up MFA for high-risk actions | Extended Access Policies (XAP) evaluate device compliance, IP, location, app status, and OS/patch status; unmanaged devices can access via MFA/OTP |
| Device-level login | Hexnode Access federates local OS login on both Windows and macOS via cloud IdPs, including Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, and OneLogin | Enhanced SSO enables passwordless sign-in on Scalefusion-managed devices using device management status |
| Application access | Policy-controlled access to approved web, mobile, and SaaS apps; RBAC for permissions | Branded Company User Portal for one-click app access; Unified SSO for SAML and OIDC apps |
| Privileged access | RBAC and session management in Hexnode IdP; JIT privilege elevation and LAPS available through Hexnode UEM and Hexnode Access workflows | Just-in-Time Admin (JIT): temporary, audited, auto-revoked elevated access; OneIdP LAPS for Windows and macOS |
| Core access | SSO, MFA, RBAC, conditional access, and session controls | SSO, MFA, conditional access, and a company user portal |
| Identity sources | Federates with Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace; Hexnode Access additionally supports Okta and OneLogin for local device sign-in | Imports users from Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, Okta, AWS, Cisco Duo, and Salesforce |
| Lifecycle automation | SCIM lifecycle management plus IdP-attribute mapping to dynamic UEM groups, documented at 500,000-user scale | SCIM inbound/outbound provisioning and directory/user synchronization |
For teams using Hexnode UEM, Hexnode IdP adds identity-driven access controls that can incorporate device compliance into access decisions. See how Hexnode connects identity-driven access with device trust.
Try Hexnode IdPFeature-by-Feature Comparison
Both products start from the same idea: bind identity to device posture. Here’s how each one builds that binding out, starting with how identities get into the system in the first place.
Identity federation and directory sync
Hexnode IdP integrates with existing identity providers – Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace and syncs directories without replacing existing infrastructure. Directory management and sync, along with automated user and group provisioning through SCIM, are built into the same identity layer that also handles authentication and conditional access.
Scalefusion OneIdP imports users from a list of identity providers – Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, Okta, AWS, Cisco Duo, and Salesforce and supports SCIM inbound and outbound provisioning.
Conditional access and risk signals
Hexnode IdP enforces conditional access based on user identity, device compliance, and security context, with step-up two-factor authentication available for high-risk actions. It also uses device compliance as an access condition for approved web, mobile, and SaaS applications.
Scalefusion OneIdP’s Extended Access Policies (XAP) evaluate device compliance, IP, location, application status, and OS and patch update status as conditions for granting access, going beyond simple identity verification. Its base Conditional Access capability also allows access on unmanaged devices through MFA or OTP-based authentication as an alternative path, rather than blocking access outright.
Device-level login and application access
Hexnode Access federates local sign-in directly at the operating system level, with dedicated setup for both Windows and macOS devices using cloud identity providers, extending Zero Trust identity down to the device’s own login screen, not just to application-level SSO. Hexnode Access supports OneLogin as a cloud identity provider for local sign-in, alongside Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Okta. Hexnode Access supports offline local sign-in on Windows and macOS and lets administrators require renewed cloud-IdP authentication at intervals ranging from every login to every 180 days. Hexnode IdP also provides application access with secure, policy-controlled access to approved web, mobile, and SaaS applications, along with role-based access control for managing administrative permissions.
Scalefusion OneIdP’s Enhanced SSO lets users sign in on Scalefusion-managed devices without entering a password, authenticated using device management status rather than credentials. A branded User Portal gives employees one-click access to approved work applications from a centralized page, and Unified SSO supports both SAML and OIDC protocols for connecting to enterprise and cloud applications.
Lifecycle management and account provisioning
Hexnode’s identity-to-local-account provisioning is documented at enterprise scale, covering automated IdP-to-local account provisioning across 500,000 devices and the synchronization of cloud identities from Entra ID, Okta, and Google with local OS logins. Hexnode’s Multi-IdP architecture covers just-in-time provisioning, SCIM 2.0 lifecycle enforcement, event-driven deprovisioning, and attribute-to-policy mapping at a 500,000-user scale, while its Identity Anchor workflow maps directory attributes to dynamic UEM groups.
Scalefusion OneIdP supports SCIM v2.0 inbound and outbound synchronization for users and groups, including connections with SCIM-compatible identity providers and HRMS platforms.
Administrative access and privilege management
Hexnode IdP provides role-based access control for managing access rights and permissions by role, along with session management policies that control access duration and reduce exposure from inactive sessions. Within the broader Hexnode ecosystem, Hexnode UEM provides LAPS, while Hexnode Access supports Just-in-Time privilege elevation with rule-based or technician approval and automatic revocation.
Scalefusion OneIdP names Just-in-Time Admin (JIT) as a standalone capability: employees get temporary elevated access for admin tasks, fully audited and automatically revoked once the task is complete, minimizing standing privilege risk. OneIdP LAPS also automates local admin password rotation across Windows and macOS devices as part of the same identity product.
Auditing and reporting
Hexnode IdP centralizes activity reports covering sign-in logs, provisioning history, and authentication events across users and applications.
Scalefusion OneIdP Reporting provides centralized activity logs across users, administrators, access events, configuration changes, policies, and JIT elevation sessions, with filtering and CSV export options.
Finding the Right Fit for Your Team
Both products combine identity verification with device-posture information when making access decisions. The difference is in how far that binding extends and how it’s documented.
- Hexnode IdP
- Scalefusion OneIdP
Hexnode IdP is part of a product suite that also includes Hexnode UEM and Hexnode XDR, while its account-provisioning and multi-IdP workflows are described for large-scale identity environments.
