The benefits in detail:

License-free (open source)

As open-source software, Keycloak is free of licensing costs even with thousands of accounts and concurrent users. This results in a significant cost advantage over commercial solutions.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Keycloak allows users to log in once and then automatically grants them access to all applications integrated with Keycloak without having to log in again. This also applies to user logout. This improves the user experience and reduces the complexity of passwords and login processes.

No Vendor Lock-in

Since Keycloak is an open-source solution, companies are not tied to a specific vendor. They have the freedom to customize and extend the platform to meet their needs.

Multi-Factor Authentication and WebAuthn Support

Keycloak offers various security features, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), to provide additional layers of user identity verification. With WebAuthn support, users can verify their identity using FIDO2-compatible security keys or biometric features.

Active Community

Keycloak is supported by a large and active community and is widely used in many organizations. This broad adoption results in a stable and well-supported platform that is continuously being developed.

Standard Protocols (OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0)

Keycloak supports common authentication and authorization protocols such as OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML 2.0. It can be easily integrated with many applications and services that use these protocols.

Customization

Keycloak offers extensive customization options so you can tailor the system to your specific requirements and business processes. We can make technical adjustments to meet your needs by utilizing APIs and extension points. The user interface can also be customized according to your specifications.

Centralized Management

Keycloak provides a central administration console that allows you, as an administrator, to manage users, groups, roles, and access policies. The console also provides detailed insights into system activity and security events.

Federation (LDAP, Active Directory, social login, other IAM systems)

Keycloak allows you to integrate various identity providers and directory services such as LDAP, Active Directory, and other IAM systems. It also offers social login options that let users sign in using their social media accounts.

High Performance

Keycloak was designed to deliver high performance and meet the needs of enterprises with large user bases. The system is not only highly scalable but also features robust caching mechanisms. As a result, it maintains high performance even under heavy load. We’d be happy to help you choose the architecture that’s right for your business.

Cluster Operation

Keycloak supports clustered operation to ensure high availability and load balancing. This allows organizations to ensure that their IAM infrastructure is always available, even if individual nodes fail.

Cloud-Native (Docker / Kubernetes)

Keycloak can be easily deployed on container orchestration platforms such as Docker and Kubernetes. This simplifies the scaling, operation, and management of Keycloak instances (e.g., including for a cloud infrastructure).

Extensibility

Keycloak offers developers a wide range of extension points and APIs to customize and extend the platform to meet their needs. This allows you to seamlessly implement additional features and integrations.
