Veriam vs. Ping Identity

Ping Identity is a well-established provider of enterprise identity and access management (IAM), specializing in SSO, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and adaptive access controls for large organizations. It is widely used by enterprises for workforce identity security and customer IAM (CIAM).
However, Ping Identity is primarily designed for managing internal users and broad enterprise access control. Businesses requiring dedicated B2B authentication, fine-grained policy-based authorization, and integrated subscription management often need additional solutions beyond Ping Identity’s capabilities.
This is where Veriam comes in. Veriam offers a specialized IAM and subscription management solution, optimized for B2B authentication, external user lifecycle management, and seamless billing integration. Instead of replacing Ping Identity, Veriam enhances its functionality by bridging the gap between identity and subscription management.
