Accredify vs. Kaleido

The regular check-ins were well spaced, which worked well for me with my current workloads. I never felt under pressure and enjoyed the positive prompting. Would highly recommend Accredify and their team.

Kaleido is well-suited for all consortiums-as-a-service and blockchain-as-a-service use cases. Specific areas where we believe Kaleido can shine through: ecosystem development, payment networks, trade finance, shipping and logistics, government and multilateral partnerships, and electronic data interoperability. Our clients are also using or considering Kaleido in other areas. Clients working with AWS, Azure, Corda, and Hyperledger Besu will benefit from Kaleido's extensive services, integrations, and partnerships. More broadly, Kaleido seems to be a great choice whenever technical sophistication, an easy-to-use interface, and pre-integrated services are needed in a blockchain-based consortium.

• Certification
• Ease of use.
• Fast startup.

• Ease-of-use (e.g. fast and intuitive onboarding)
• Security (e.g. customized security control, advanced security built in, and high degree of expertise on Kaleido team)
• Plug-and-play solutions and flexibility (e.g. large library of ready-to-go "Kaleido Services")
• Third-party integrations and partnerships (e.g. Corda, AWS, Azure, Hyperledger Besu, etc.)

• A small team, like a large company, sometimes can be difficult to get in touch with. But considering their size they do good.
• Possibility to expand the verification to more document types and files. The potential could be huge and use cases are large in our company.

Incentivized

• Would like to see Kaleido ramp up their marketing/visibility so that they have more name recognition with new clients.

Usability is one of Kaleido's shining features.

Their customer support has been very strong throughout the implementation.

The other products listed are not exactly the same, but also part of software being used by our company in the same internal process. So far we are happy with the solution from Accredify and we really believe it will do its job and complement the process as a whole. We chose Accredify mainly because one colleague had used it before and saw the potential for a use case in our company. The business case was made and making implementation in one smaller division was a relatively small risk for us considering the knowledge gained for potential expansion.

Kaleido is generations ahead of IBM Blockchain Platform. Once we took a closer look at Kaleido, it was an easy choice. In our experience, Kaleido's team has blown IBM out of the water in terms of technical sophistication, thought leadership, and ease of use. In particular, the volume and quality of pre-integrated enterprise and B2B services in Kaleido allows for a democratized blockchain-as-a-service experience -- even a student or beginner could set up an enterprise consortium with Kaleido's interface and tools. By contrast, IBM Blockchain Platform had a clunkier user experience (including interface and member on boarding process), with fewer advanced features and integrations (e.g. lower quality options for creating smart contracts and digital assets). We also interacted with IBM Blockchain Platform's team and found their skills and perspectives to be more generic and less up-to-date. Frankly, we lost valuable time by starting on IBM Blockchain Platform.

• Fraud can be costly to detect, but with accredify it has changed.
• If we can just avoid one case of document tampering and thereby avoid a legal suit or a fraud the costs of Accredify are already a good investment.
• We have a good IS a team, but the implementation of new software and training of personnel afterward is always a costly thing. However, with Accredify we can focus on our own core competencies - that is for some of our colleagues a very nice change.
