DENVER, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Colorado start-up FusionAuth (https://FusionAuth.io) has made a dramatic entrance into the identity and access management market since their launch one year ago, snatching clients away from established competitors and gaining significant recognition from the industry.
After launching in September 2018, FusionAuth was quickly identified as one of the "Top CIAM Vendors to Watch" by industry publications. Within months they earned a Rising Star Award as well as a spot on a "Top CIAM Providers of 2019" list. As they continued to gain awareness and capture clients like DataStax, StrategyCorp, and Deutsche Bank, Enterprise Security Magazine included them in their "Top 10 IAM Solutions" list, awarding FusionAuth "Product of the Year" for 2019.
When asked the reason for their quick adoption and growth, CEO Brian Pontarelli replied, "Identity is essential to apps, so we made it simple. Devs on any platform, cloud, or codebase can be up and running in minutes. No complex configurations, no restricted features, no hidden pricing. Just download, deploy, and start developing."
Another contributing factor to FusionAuth's growth is their location: Colorado's super-charged tech scene is the perfect community to launch a product that solves complex challenges for growing and established businesses. Brian describes discussions from the early days of FusionAuth, "Each year when we talked with large and small tech firms at Denver Startup Week (https://www.denverstartupweek.org), dev teams told us that identity and access management are a pain to build, tedious to maintain, and expensive to buy. We showed them a solution we had been developing and it was just what they needed. We released it as FusionAuth and developers have embraced it."
Brian also notes recent public awareness as a factor, "You hear about hacks and security breaches on the news every week. Now everyone realizes user data security is an essential app component. FusionAuth provides top-notch security and flexibility for every app, making it simple for companies of any size to serve their users while protecting personal data."
So far, this direct approach is resonating: FusionAuth has over 140,000 downloads across six continents and is gaining more every day. In a market filled with large, well-funded competitors, this is a significant achievement. Brian adds, "Our goal was to make identity easy no matter your platform, framework, or location. That's why devs use us. We solve their real problems. Now our biggest problem is how fast we are growing."
