General Manager at HDI Systeme AG
Enhanced user management offering seamless single sign-on, scalability for large enterprises, and improved configurability through integration with various user sources and directories
For organizations using various Atlassian products and dealing with multiple user sources or directories, implementing Atlassian Crowd for single sign-on proves highly beneficial. This is especially true for companies that have instances of Atlassian product installations across different entities, each with its own Active Directory and user directory. Crowd significantly streamlines user and directory management, making it more efficient for larger enterprises. It is particularly advisable and recommended for big companies, especially those that have undergone acquisitions or mergers, as it enhances user management, transparency, and configurability. While it's incredibly useful for enterprise-level businesses, it may also be suitable for mid-sized companies with a substantial user base. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

Gives us everything we need to ensure that our customers have a safe and reliable authentication system
It would be nice to have a export button to file with all tenants/users so that in case of a disaster we will have the option to restore the users from file. For security certifications, we need to make sure we can restore all of our products and data in minimal time. We are backing up the data using the API but it will be better to export everything to an external file so in case of a disaster or mistake from our side, we can have the option to reload all the users and assign them to the relevant tenant as fast as possible

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One standout feature is the capability to configure various authentication and authorization methods from diverse user directories."
"If your budget allows, it is worth purchasing Crowd once you have at least 2 Atlassian products like Jira and Confluence."
"Integrating third-party directories is very easy since Crowd offers well-described input fields so you know what information is needed."
"The most valuable features are predominantly in the directory and development spaces."
"The frontend side is a major benefit that I am happy I can give my customers from day one, without compromising."
"Frontegg enabled us to worry less about parts of the system that are not unique to our product, and instead spend more time developing out key value propositions."
"Frontegg's solution fits us very well, as it removes the extra work of developing, maintaining, storing, and securing all of the user-management platforms."
"Their developers were always willing to meet even though we are in very different time zones."
"The admin portal layer is super useful and saves valuable front-end development time."
"We like the SSO, permissions and roles, multiple workspaces, and react login components."
"SaaS companies like ours can just focus on what matters and not spend time on building SaaS essentials such as audit logs, SSO etc."
"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide."
 

Cons

"Exporting users/group toward LDAP and retrieving LDAP attributes like photo profile."
"There's a need for effective group membership management, especially for corporate programs."
"It makes you more efficient, but you have to optimize what you're doing before you get into the software."
"It would be great if the UI would receive a complete re-design."
"The web interface is missing a way to delete a workspace. I have accidentally created a workspace and was not able to delete it. It's a minor thing that should be supported."
"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."
"The PHP SDK is limited."
"The PHP SDK is limited. It's not a huge deal as we can just use their web API directly, but it is something to note if you're using PHP.‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎"
"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized."
"We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap."
"It would be nice to have a export button to file with all tenants/users so that in case of a disaster we will have the option to restore the users from file."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While it may seem affordable for larger enterprises, it tends to become more expensive as you move up the scale."
"It's pretty cheap. I would rate the price as three out of five."
