The CIAM Superhero – How LoginRadius Saves the Day
Founded in 2012 with a vision to secure online identities, LoginRadius started as a simple social login provider. Quickly understanding the evolving landscape of customer identity and access management (CIAM), the company pivoted to create a comprehensive CIAM platform that is intuitive and extremely easy to use. Today, LoginRadius is used by over 3,000 brands and reaches over a billion consumers worldwide. It’s headquartered in San Francisco, California, and Jaipur, India. My analyst demo with LoginRadius confirmed what they pride themselves on: delivering a user-friendly platform, even for non-technical users, that simplifies CIAM implementation and management.
LoginRadius has emerged as a major player in the customer identity and access management (CIAM) space, offering a comprehensive suite of features and capabilities to secure and manage customer identities effectively and easily. The demo they shared with me showcased some of the most sought-after capabilities in CIAM products. I felt it was an intuitive interface with some features that show a lot of growth. The user journey interface that was shared with me will save people a lot of time and has no code, providing a familiar graphical interface to those that have used other products like PingOne DaVinci and ForgeRock Backstage.
The LoginRadius demo showcased some very intuitive and simple-to-use features. Anybody with basic technical skills and an understanding of the business goals would know where to navigate the user interface simply by exploring categories. The half a dozen features for CIAM products I typically review with our members seemed mature to me, with logical input fields and no development requirements. Below is a bit more information on those features.
- Unified User Profiles consolidate customer data from various sources (social logins, traditional logins, etc.) into a single, unified profile for a holistic view.
- Progressive Profiling gathers additional user information gradually through interactions and engagement, creating a more detailed and dynamic profile over time.
- Consent Management gives users granular control over how their data is collected, used, and shared to ensure compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
- Risk-Based Authentication adapts authentication requirements based on user behavior and context to prevent unauthorized access and fraud.
- Social Logins facilitate logins and registrations using users’ existing social media accounts. This is my favorite way to sign on to most sites and offers a faster and more convenient experience.
- Auto-Scalable Architecture is designed to handle large volumes of users and data that ensures smooth performance. This is critical as your business grows and adopts a new solution set with minimal customer friction.
Finally, LoginRadius also offers features like fraud prevention, anomaly detection, and user analytics that can enhance security and user management through real-time reporting. The platform is cloud based, making it easy to deploy and manage without the lead time and cost to build an on-premises infrastructure. LoginRadius also provides customer support and training resources to help businesses deploy the solution effectively and get the most out of their CIAM investment.
