LoginRadius vs Akamai Identity Cloud (Janrain)

Janrain: Legacy System; LoginRadius: Modern CIAM

One’s nearing sunset. The other’s built for growth, security, and enterprise scalability.

LoginRadius gives you what Akamai Identity Cloud can’t:

  • FIDO2 Passkeys, Push MFA, and Adaptive Auth Out-of-the-Box.
  • Headless CIAM architecture with native Orchestration for deep customization across all user journeys.
  • Purpose-built migration accelerators and expert support to transfer data and passwords in weeks, not months.

Why Choose LoginRadius Over Akamai Identity Cloud?

Modern Authentication & Passwordless

  • Akamai Identity Cloud lacks native passwordless and modern MFA support.
  • LoginRadius provides FIDO2 passkeys, push notifications, adaptive MFA, and risk-based controls — all built-in.

Branding & Customization

  • Janrain offers limited branding flexibility.
  • LoginRadius gives you full control — headless architecture, hosted pages, branded UIs, and even white-label authenticator apps.

Orchestration & Multi-tenancy

  • Akamai Identity Cloud policy engine is rigid.
  • LoginRadius enables no-code orchestration, event-driven webhooks, and native multi-tenancy — so you can adapt flows across regions, brands, and use cases.

Analytics & Compliance

  • With LoginRadius you get real-time identity analytics, anomaly detection, and granular audit logs.
  • Compliance with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and SOC 2 Type II comes standard.
