Factory vs Cognition for enterprise agent controls

Factory’s Droid and Cognition’s Devin both offer enterprise coding-agent capabilities, but selecting between them requires evaluating identity, ownership, provisioning, policy enforcement, command permissions, isolation, and audit evidence rather than code-generation quality alone. Factory documents SAML/OIDC, SCIM, organization roles, and service accounts that can own automated jobs independently of departed employees, while Cognition offers custom roles and RBAC that may better support fine-grained application access. Factory emphasizes a hierarchy of hard organization controls and local preferences for model access, custom endpoints, autonomy, MCP tools, and session settings, whereas both platforms require real-world testing of command, file, repository, and tool permissions, including attempted overrides and alternate command formats. Administrative audit logs should be assessed separately from engineering execution records such as code diffs, test results, and reviewer decisions. The recommended evaluation is a controlled pilot using synthetic data and disposable repositories that tests denied actions, offboarding, unattended automation ownership, and evidence retention, with the final decision based on whether a specific product configuration demonstrably meets organizational requirements at an acceptable administrative cost.
