FreeRADIUS vs. ID.me

FreeRADIUS is completely scalable and supports both large and small user databases. Because it doesn't take up a lot of server resources, FreeRADIUS is well-suited for organizations with small budgets (it's in the name!) and limited networking hardware. While there is a port of it for Windows, FreeRADIUS is native to Linux so that would be a limitation for many companies who don't use it.

ID.me is well suited for our business to verify customers to provide a discount due to their top-notch software which is easy for our customers to use and is quick. Beyond customer experience, it has massive business benefits as it saves us a lot of time and money to use their white-glove software vs doing it ourselves as we did in the past using paper documents and our own people.

• FreeRADIUS requires a 3rd party interface to make it easier to access (we use Daloradius) - it would nice if it was built in.
• Installation and configuration are pretty easy and straightforward but does require connecting to a database which can be cumbersome.

• Be able to verify people without them providing any documentation by getting access to needed databases where that information is stored.
• Be conscious that people do not like to provide their SS#.

We didn't evaluate any others. At the time ID.me had the largest customer base and I believe that still holds true.

• We previously used Microsoft Network Policy Server for our RADIUS authentication which works ok but was pretty clunky and requires Windows Server. Switching to FreeRADIUS brought our cost down to zero.
• Because FreeRADIUS works natively in Linux it's easy to setup and works with all distros.
• FreeRADIUS allows us to have user authentication for wifi which is much more secure than a simple shared password solution.

• Raises AOV for select segments
• Brings new customers to our store
