Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like how secure and reliable IBM Verify CIAM is while still being easy to manage. The authentication flow is very flexible, allowing us to customize the login and authentication based on user requirements without complex workarounds. The MFA process is also very smooth, making it easy for users and reducing login-related issues. We have integrated it with our existing applications, and it works well alongside our security and monitoring tools.

The initial phase of setup and configuration is a bit complex and has a learning curve. Some advanced customization needs deeper technical knowledge, which can slow things down initially. Better documentation and a step-by-step guide for advanced use cases would really help.

I use IBM Verify CIAM for secure customer authentication and access management. It manages access at scale, prevents weak authentication, and features a flexible, smooth MFA process that reduces login issues, all without worrying about manual user management.
