To be fair, the people that run SaaS platforms that extort a 3x multiple to go from "Pro" which just happens to have every feature they offer EXCEPT SAML, to "Enterprise" which, low and behold, adds no value /other/ than SAML all need to line up and die in a fire someplace.
If marketing ever says "But an enterprise contract with SAML is too expensive! Can't we just use the basic SaaS version?", it's time to check what other processes they're used to ignoring. I'd suggest starting with expense records. There's probably a bunch of vendors handled entirely on a director's credit card.
