Detailed Review
Cloud-IAM is a French company in Rennes (CLOUDIAM, SIREN 900205436) that does one thing: it deploys, upgrades, backs up and monitors Keycloak for you.
Every paid plan is a dedicated high-availability deployment on the cloud you pick, and Scaleway and 3DS Outscale are both on the list next to AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Its own sub-processor page says an EU-hosted deployment involves no transfer of personal data outside the EU, and that logs and backups stay in France. You get Keycloak without having to operate a cluster, a database and a patch schedule yourself.
The product underneath is Keycloak, so the trade-offs of Keycloak apply and the page already lists it at #1.
What Cloud-IAM adds is the operations layer: automatic planned updates, theme editing and custom extension upload without downtime, an uptime SLA from 99% to 99.98%, and a 24/7 on-call team on Premium and Max. Support sits on top of that, from community-only on Starter to consulting days on Premium. For a team that likes Keycloak but has no one to run it, that is the real offer.
It is not cheap next to running Keycloak yourself, and it is not a different engine. Paid plans start at €225 a month for Starter and €495 for Essential, and the 99% SLA on Starter is thin for a login system.
Compared with Zitadel Cloud or Ory Network it is more of a hosting and support service than a distinct product, and it has no pay-per-user cloud model of its own. The free tier is useful for testing, but it is shared infrastructure on AWS with no SLA, so the sovereignty story starts on the paid plans.
What Cloud-IAM does well
- Dedicated Keycloak deployment per customer on Scaleway or 3DS Outscale in France, or AWS, Google Cloud or Azure
- French company registered in Rennes, with an EU-only operator model stated on its sub-processor page
- Free tier for up to 100 users to try Keycloak before committing
- Unlimited monthly active users on paid plans, priced by plan rather than per login
- Custom themes and .jar extensions supported, with SLAs up to 99.98% and 24/7 on-call on Premium
Where Cloud-IAM falls short
- It is Keycloak, so it carries the same admin complexity and sparse polish as the #1 tool on this page
- Paid plans start at €225 a month, well above Zitadel Cloud or Ory Network entry prices
- The free tier runs on AWS with a shared deployment and no SLA, so it is not a sovereign setup
- ISO 27001 is stated by the vendor but no certificate was visible, and SecNumCloud and HDS apply to Outscale deployments only
Standout feature. It is the managed route for teams who want Keycloak itself on a French company's dedicated EU deployment, with an SLA behind it.
