    Onfido
    Onfido is well suited for integrations within a mobile app for automated document processing and validation e.g. driver's licenses, passports etc. Onfido is less well suited for web applications since the quality and accuracy of the checks is very dependent on the quality of the image captured which in general is less high quality from a webcam.

    Neustar IP Intelligence is quick to deploy using their REST API, the data is automatically updated against one of the most robust datasets available on the market. It is well suited for developers trying to integrate with an out-of-the-box solution to lookup geolocation of website visitors in real time, and possibly build alerts or 2F-Authentication mechanisms based on suspicious activity.

    • Helps detect fraud if a user has signed in from California only, then attempts to login from another country are made.
    • Increase sales conversions by understanding geolocation of website visitors
    • If your datacenters are georedundant, allows engineers to see where majority of traffic is generated and load balance accordingly.

    Cons
    Onfido
    • Dashboard - current analytics are very high level pass, consider, fail - would like a more detailed breakdown of reasons why consider / fail aggregated in an easy to view format.
    • Speed consistency - sometimes Onfido checks are very fast, sometimes it takes a lot longer
    • OCR - we had issues with OCR data quality and had to add a step for users to verify information captured via OCR from Driver's Licenses.

    • It's a bare box solution. Not feature rich.

    Alternatives Considered
    Onfido
    Ultimately went with Onfido due to previous experience with applications & products that had worked with Onfido and from research Onfido appeared to be one of the main providers in the space providing reassurance internally on use of relatively new technology. Onfido security and compliance was also standout helping pass internal audits by cybersecurity and legal. Downside with Onfido is that the pricing model is complex and relies on accurate predictions of platform/user growth to secure the best price-per-check which is challenging in a startup environment.

    Google has an open source version of this, but its updates are based on the user community. Since Neustar's IP Intelligence is a paid solution, the updates are regular, the interface is streamlined with a REST API, and there is a help desk you can consult for onboarding and questions if there are issues.
