Hi. I have been using email login and admin users can invite their colleagues by email address.

Of course, many established companies offer SSO, ability to login using Google, Apple, other oauth.

I asked around to my test users and a few potential users and they mentioned email is fine. In my own experience as a SWE I used many softwares at work which used just email login. However, many more offered a bunch more.

Will it be fine to open it up to broader audience without all these things?

SSO has various levels. You can do a "Login/Signup with Google" using any of the popular frameworks in a day or so. On the other hand, if you need to do full Enterprise level SSO (SAML, Audits, SCIM etc etc), you have more work to do.

Look at it this way. If your product solves a real problem for your potential customer, they wouldn't care about how to signup for it. Not until they tell you that SSO is a must. Until then, don't sweat it and keep going.
