ID.me vs. Symantec VIP

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.

• The app is super responsive and has no lag and little to no latency. Everything loads quickly and is super speedy.
