Frontegg untangles complex auth

Simply solve your toughest customer identity challenges

Compare Frontegg
to Other CIAM Companies

Scroll down to learn how Frontegg’s out-of-the-box platform stacks up against other customer identity providers.

CIAM.

For everyone who gives a damn.

Others give you simple auth. Frontegg makes complex auth simple.

Our low-code platform lets you distribute the responsibility of customer identity beyond engineering teams.

Finally, engineers can prioritize innovation while infosec, product, and customer success become self-sufficient with the parts of identity management that matter to them.

It’s a win-win.

  • Less frustration for devs
  • More control for non‑devs
  • Full self-service for end‑users
