    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.

    We haven't really taken advantages of the full spectrum of what the suite offers, but for the segment that we are using that identifies users across multiple accounts and devices, it performs phenomenally. In the future we'd like to enable auto-banning based on a risk index score that Sift Digital Trust & Safety Suite would contribute to.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • 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.

    Sift Digital Trust & Safety Suite provided the easiest integration points plus reliability compared to other vendors we evaluated. We were able to incorporate their data into a custom UI of our own to manually audit and ban users.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • 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.

    • It has had the positive impact of ensuring quality submissions as well as reducing payout for duplicate accounts.
