Three core beliefs set us apart
Three core beliefs set us apart
Strivacity is rewriting the script for customer sign-in journeys. Sure, there are lots of features and functions that set us apart (check out this handy table). But it’s our vision and fresh approach that truly differentiates us.
1. Workforce IAM ≠ Customer IAM
These worlds couldn’t be more different. We’ve seen workforce solutions bent to fit customer use cases. The results are unsatisfying, time consuming … and costly. That’s why we created Strivacity. We’re 100% focused on customers.
2. Simple sign-in journeys grow revenue
Sign-in journeys are as unique as your business. Strivacity lets you create experiences others simply can’t. We do that by bringing together all of the capabilities you need to create simple journeys onto one platform.
3. (Cloud-native) architecture matters
Other CIAM solutions were built 10+ years ago. And they were built to solve a different problem (see #1). Strivacity's cloud-native architecture delivers the performance, scalability and security that “cloud washed” on-prem solutions can’t match.
How (we think) we stack up against your other options
Sifting through all of the marketing fluff can be maddening. Here's our quick take of some of the ways we're different (and similar) to other large vendors people often compare us to.
