Why Enterprise Authentication Matters
Netflix uses enterprise authentication to manage 15,000+ employees across their distributed systems. Spotify integrates with corporate Active Directory to control access to their music analytics platform. Without proper enterprise integration, your log processing system becomes an isolated tool that companies can't adopt.
Enterprise authentication solves three critical problems: centralized user management (no duplicate accounts), inherited permissions (leverage existing corporate roles), and compliance requirements (audit trails and access controls).
