How Ory Beats Keycloak

When we created Ory, we prioritized developer happiness and security. You'll see this in our APIs, docs, and everything we do.

  • Performance

    Ory's lightweight, robust, and modular architecture makes for a snappy yet secure user experience.

  • User Experience

    No clunky interfaces here. Not only will your developers enjoy working with Ory, but so will your designer. Auth forms & flows are easily customizable.

  • Maintenance and support

    With Keycloak, you'll be responsible for troubleshooting, security patching, upgrading, and maintaining your servers. Without experience deploying Java applications, this can quickly become resource intensive. Ory takes care of all infrastructure management for you.

  • Documentation

    Tired of documentation that takes you in circles? Ory’s documentation gets you to the answer you need, while helping you understand how it works.

  • Integrations

    From CRMs and customer support applications to developer tooling and product tools, it’s vital that your identity management solution can integrate and share data with your most important applications.

  • Security & compliance

    Choosing an identity management solution with strong security measures helps ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company resources. Ory takes advanced initiatives to prevent data breaches, identity theft, and other security incidents.
