Kenning's take

What it does

WorkOS gives software companies ready-made building blocks for login and enterprise features, so they do not have to build them in-house. Its products cover user management, single sign-on with SAML and OIDC, syncing users from corporate directories, role-based permissions and audit logs. It also offers authentication for MCP servers and AI agents.

• AuthKit user management and login UI
• Enterprise single sign-on (SAML and OIDC)

Who it suits. Software companies that want to sell to large businesses and need enterprise login and admin features.
