# Which are the top CIAM solutions for API security?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">As customer apps expose more APIs (mobile/web), CIAM must secure not just login, but API access, tokens, scopes, and developer-friendly SDKs. We’re evaluating platforms that go beyond login and cover API security, rate limiting, and token management.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">We’re currently exploring:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/auth0/reviews">Auth0 </a>– widely used for API authentication/authorization.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/descope/reviews">Descope </a>– developer-centric CIAM with good SDK/API support.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/fusionauth/reviews">FusionAuth </a>– strong token services, OAuth2, JWT, roles &amp; permissions. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cyberark-workforce-identity/reviews">CyberArk Workforce Identity</a> – high security focus, applicable for API and user identity.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">We’re curious:</p><ul>
<li>Which platforms made API protection easiest (token issuance, user scopes, rate-limits)?</li>
<li>Have you seen issues where the CIAM solution didn’t fully prevent misuse of APIs?</li>
</ul>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;Are there any platforms that offer a standout developer experience (SDKs, documentation, sample code) for CIAM and API security?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
