Benjamin Franklin once said: “Never confuse motion with action.”

In the cybersecurity market, which has thousands of vendors, action is relatively common. Big budgets and large teams can create a good deal of action. But motion is much less common in the space, because motion (or momentum) requires solid strategic planning, consistent execution, cross-functional teamwork, and the delivery of excellent customer value over time.

It is with that context that we are proud to announce the latest proof point on Axiad’s forward motion. Today it was announced that PeerSpot, the fastest growing peer review site in the B2B industry, has named Axiad Cloud a 2023 Rising Star in “Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS)”!

The Rising Star Awards showcase the top 10 products with the fastest growth in user traffic on the PeerSpot Buying Intelligence Platform over the past year. Only products with their first review posted to the PeerSpot platform within the past 12 months are considered for the Rising Star Award. In addition, the product solution category must have a minimum of 1,000 views.

Rising Star winning products represent the most promising in their solution category according to verified reviewer insights and experience. According to PeerSpot, this awards program “puts the spotlight on ‘up-and-comers’ on the PeerSpot site and can be viewed as a reflection of growing market interests based on evolving business needs, industry trends or competitive challenges.”

This recognition is particularly gratifying because the award is based on the reviews of the user community – and it is a true honor to be recognized by real Axiad Cloud customers who can speak to our technology’s features, functionality, and business value.

It’s one thing for companies to read about our product on our website, but it’s another thing entirely when they can hear about its use cases and benefits from real-word customers. And, this Rising Star Award is validation that our solution is making a marked difference in helping organizations improve their cybersecurity posture without hindering end user productivity.
