Native SCIM

How to automate MedBridge user provisioning, and what it actually costs

Native SCIM requires Enterprise/Organization plan

Summary and recommendation

MedBridge supports SCIM provisioning, but only for customers on their Organization/Enterprise tier with custom pricing. If you're on their Pro ($250-275/user/year) or Premium ($300-325/user/year) plans, you're locked out of automated provisioning entirely. Additionally, SCIM support is currently limited to Okta through their OIN integration - Microsoft Entra ID users have no native provisioning path.

For a 50-person healthcare team on Premium, upgrading to Organization just for SCIM access means negotiating custom enterprise pricing that could easily double or triple your annual spend - potentially $150,000+ in additional costs for features beyond provisioning that you may not need. Meanwhile, teams using Entra ID face manual user management regardless of their plan tier.

The strategic alternative

MedBridge gates SCIM behind Enterprise/Organization. Skip the Enterprise/Organization plan upgrade and automate complete outcomes across your stack. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating

Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages MedBridge accounts manually. Here's what that costs:

Orphaned accounts (ex-employees with access)5
Unused licenses12
IT hours spent on manual management/year85 hours
Unused license cost/year$3,500

The MedBridge pricing problem

MedBridge gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

What this means in practice

Without published Organization pricing, healthcare IT teams face opaque enterprise sales cycles to access SCIM. The jump from Premium's known $300-325/user/year to custom Organization pricing typically represents substantial increases:

Team SizePremium Plan CostOrganization Tier Impact
50 clinical staff$15,000-16,250/yearLikely 30-50% increase
100 clinical staff$30,000-32,500/yearLikely 30-50% increase
200 clinical staff$60,000-65,000/yearLikely 30-50% increase

Additional constraints

Custom pricing only
Organization tier requires enterprise sales engagement with no transparent pricing.
Healthcare-specific use case
Unlike general business apps, MedBridge serves regulated healthcare environments where provisioning automation is critical for compliance.
Okta dependency
SCIM provisioning is only documented through Okta's integration - no native Microsoft Entra support limits IdP flexibility.
Annual commitment required
Enterprise tiers typically require yearly contracts, reducing flexibility for smaller healthcare practices.

Summary of challenges

  • MedBridge supports SCIM but only at Enterprise tier (Custom (Organization))
  • Google Workspace users get JIT provisioning only, not full SCIM
  • Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually

What the upgrade actually includes

MedBridge doesn't sell SCIM à la carte. It's bundled with Organization/Enterprise features:

SCIM automated provisioning (via Okta integration only)
SAML single sign-on (SSO)
Advanced administrative controls
EMR integrations (Epic, Cerner, NextGen, Raintree, Casamba)
Custom branding and white-labeling
Advanced reporting and analytics
Dedicated customer success manager
Priority technical support

Note that SCIM is only available through Okta's integration - Microsoft Entra and Google Workspace administrators are left without native provisioning options.

Stitchflow Insight

If you need comprehensive healthcare learning management features anyway, the upgrade may make sense. If you just want automated user provisioning, you're paying for specialized clinical education tools you may not fully utilize. We estimate ~60% of Organization/Enterprise features are healthcare-specific and irrelevant for general IT provisioning needs.

What IT admins are saying

Community sentiment on MedBridge's SCIM availability is mixed, with frustrations centered on limited IdP support and enterprise-only requirements. Common complaints:

  • SCIM only works with Okta - no support for Microsoft Entra or Google Workspace
  • Enterprise/Organization plan required, forcing costly upgrades for basic provisioning
  • Healthcare-specific pricing models that can reach $300+ per user annually
  • Limited integration options compared to other learning platforms

We're primarily an Entra shop and MedBridge's Okta-only SCIM support means we're stuck with manual provisioning for our clinical staff.

Healthcare IT Forum

The jump to Organization pricing just for automated user management doesn't make sense for smaller healthcare practices.

The recurring theme

MedBridge's SCIM implementation creates vendor lock-in with Okta while pricing out smaller healthcare organizations that need automated provisioning.

The decision

Your SituationRecommendation
On Pro/Premium plans, need SCIMUse Stitchflow: avoid the expensive Organization tier upgrade
On Organization but SCIM not includedUse Stitchflow: skip the Enterprise upgrade negotiations
Already on Enterprise with SCIMUse native SCIM: you're paying for it through Okta
Using non-Okta IdP (Entra, Google, OneLogin)Use Stitchflow: MedBridge only supports SCIM via Okta OIN
Small clinical team, low turnoverManual may work: but healthcare compliance demands audit trails

SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

Alteryx supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans with custom pricing (7+ users minimum). The feature requires SSO (SAML or OIDC) to be configured first and completely overrides manual user management. For teams on Professional ($5,000/user/year) or Business ($10,000-$20,000/user/year) plans, accessing SCIM means upgrading to Enterprise - often a significant cost increase for functionality that should be table stakes. This creates a provisioning gap for most Alteryx deployments. Without automated user lifecycle management, IT teams face manual onboarding/offboarding workflows, delayed access provisioning, and compliance risks around orphaned accounts. The high per-user costs make Alteryx particularly expensive to scale, and forcing an Enterprise upgrade just for basic provisioning automation compounds that challenge.

Atlan

SCIM Tax
SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

Atlan supports native SCIM 2.0 provisioning with full user and group management capabilities. However, SCIM is only available on Enterprise tier, which requires custom pricing negotiations. Additionally, SSO must be enabled before SCIM can be configured, and Atlan's pricing tiers (Starter, Premier, Enterprise) are not publicly disclosed, making cost planning difficult for IT teams. This creates a significant barrier for organizations wanting automated provisioning without committing to enterprise-level contracts. For data teams evaluating Atlan, the lack of transparent pricing means you can't budget for provisioning capabilities upfront. The SSO prerequisite also forces organizations into a specific implementation sequence that may not align with their rollout timeline.

Benchling

SCIM Tax
SCIM StatusIncluded
Manual Cost$9,490/yr

Benchling supports SCIM provisioning, but only on Enterprise plans with custom pricing that typically starts at $1M+ annually. This creates a massive barrier: organizations on Professional plans ($20,000+/year) face a 50x+ price increase to unlock automated user provisioning. Even mid-sized life sciences teams end up paying enterprise-level licensing just to automate basic user lifecycle management. The pricing gap is so extreme that most organizations either stick with manual provisioning or delay Benchling adoption entirely. This creates a significant operational burden for IT teams managing researchers across multiple lab environments. Manual user provisioning in a platform that handles sensitive R&D data introduces compliance risks and delays researcher onboarding. When a scientist joins or leaves, IT must manually coordinate access across Benchling's complex permission structure for notebooks, entities, and workflows. For organizations with frequent collaborator access or seasonal research teams, this becomes unmanageable.
