WSO2 Named an Overall Leader in the 2024 KuppingerCole CIAM Platforms Leadership Compass
25 June 2024 - 2:00PM
WSO2, the leader in digital transformation technology, today
announced that it has been named an overall leader,
product leader, innovation leader, and market leader in the
KuppingerCole Analysts’ 2024 CIAM Platforms Leadership
Compass report published on June 3, 2024. The report is
based on KuppingerCole’s evaluation of 24 leading vendors in
the consumer identity and access management (CIAM) market, also
known as customer IAM. WSO2 is making a reprint of the report
available for download here.
Since the previous CIAM Platforms Leadership
Compass was published in 2022, the range of use cases for CIAM
has notably expanded from business-to-consumer (B2C) to a range of
business-to-business (B2B) models.
According to the
2024 KuppingerCole report, “Historically, the “C” in CIAM
was generally assumed to stand for consumers. CIAM first evolved to
meet the demands that consumer-facing applications have that are
functionally different from workforce/enterprise IAM. These are
still the largest types of use cases that CIAM solutions cater to.
However, CIAM systems have been adapting to B2B customer scenarios
as well. Some vendors report that the B2B CIAM segment is growing
faster than pure B2C implementations. Moreover, with the many
organizations shifting to the Identity Fabrics model, it is
necessary that CIAM solutions address both B2B and B2C use cases
equally well.”
“We have put a priority on giving our customers
the flexibility to support both their B2B and B2C CIAM scenarios to
scale business models, broaden their market reach, and speed time
to market—all while easily adapting their customer experience for
distinct audiences to optimize user engagement,” said Geethika
Cooray, WSO2 vice president and general manager of identity
and access management at WSO2. “We are honored to be recognized as
a leader in the overall, product, innovation and market categories
of KuppingerCole’s 2024 CIAM Platforms Leadership
Compass report. We view it as validation of our commitment to
offering CIAM solutions that support enterprises’ increasingly
sophisticated digital business models while creating rich, trusted
digital experiences that drive customer adoption, loyalty and
growth.”
Evaluating WSO2’s CIAM
CapabilitiesThe 2022 CIAM Platforms Leadership
Compass report evaluated WSO2’s suite of solutions for
IAM/CIAM, including WSO2 Identity Server open-source software, WSO2
Private Identity Cloud single-tenant SaaS solution, and the
Asgardeo identity as a service (IDaaS). The report awarded WSO2 the
highest ranking, “strong positive,” in four of five categories:
security, deployment, interoperability, and usability, as well as a
“positive” ranking in the functionality category. WSO2’s leadership
across the product, innovation and market categories resulted in
the company being named an overall leader in the report.
In evaluating WSO2, KuppingerCole Lead Analyst
John Tolbert notes in the report. “Their solutions are designed for
developers and as such are very extensible. Any organization that
needs a modern, dev-centric CIAM should have WSO2 on their
shortlist.”
Enabling Developers to Harness the Power of
CIAMWSO2’s CIAM suite manages more than 1 billion identities
each year for businesses and government organizations
worldwide. The uniquely extensible, API-driven products enable
developers to harness the power of CIAM without being security
experts in their preferred environment: on-premises, private cloud,
SaaS or hybrid. They incorporate the ability to federate,
authenticate and manage identities; bridge across heterogeneous
identity protocols; and secure access to web and mobile
applications along with API-based endpoints.
Building on the proven B2C capabilities of WSO2’s
IAM/CIAM offerings, the newest releases of WSO2 Identity Server,
