The Totally Unsanctioned CIAM Vendor Guide 2025

Vendor websites are biased. G2 comparisons don’t show all the details. That’s why this guide was born. It compares feature sets across eight major CIAM platforms and separates what’s uniquely valuable from what’s just table stakes. No fluff. No favoritism. Just the facts that help you choose with confidence.

Stop guessing. Start comparing.

In-depth CIAM comparisons without the marketing fog.

Why it matters:

  • CIAM is a long-term decision; buy with future scale in mind
  • Not all “passwordless” or “RBAC” implementations are equal
  • Hidden costs often hide behind “enterprise” labels
  • A clear side-by-side saves evaluation time

Inside the guide:
