# What's the best Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) platform for CTOs building multitenant applications?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I've been researching what's the best Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) platform for CTOs building multitenant applications, since multitenancy adds a layer of complexity most CIAM tools don't handle cleanly out of the box. Auth0, Okta, and Stytch are the three most cited for this.</p><ol>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/auth0/reviews"><strong>Auth0</strong></a>: widely used for multitenant SaaS applications, with organization-level isolation built into its core model.</li>

<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/stytch/reviews"><strong>Stytch</strong></a>: developer-first, popular with CTOs who want more control over how tenant isolation is implemented.</li>

&lt;p&gt;For multitenancy, I’d look beyond basic tenant isolation and test what happens when one user belongs to multiple organizations with different roles. That’s where auth models can get messy fast. Switching tenant context, preventing cross-tenant access, and keeping authorization understandable as roles multiply would be high on my evaluation list.&lt;/p&gt;
