Platform has strengthened user security, improved sign-on journeys, and supported future growth
Regarding areas for improvement, Auth0 Platform is a premium product, and its pricing reflects its enterprise-grade capabilities. While the cost can sometimes make smaller businesses hesitate, the return on investment usually outweighs the initial price tag when the platform is architected and implemented correctly. The comprehensive feature set, top-tier security, and reduced development time justify the investment for organizations prioritizing scalability. On the technical side, I would like to see Auth0 introduce more no-code branding options for Universal Login. Currently, achieving a highly specific, bespoke login experience often requires utilizing Liquid page templates or the newly released Advanced Customizations for Universal Login. While these are incredibly powerful tools, they do require some technical expertise to execute flawlessly. Having more robust, out-of-the-box customization options would be a great enhancement in the future.

Strong single sign on security comes packaged with simplicity in this on-premises-only solution
We do not have a huge usage load in our implementation of the product at our company. We know this because we have been working with clients and speaking with them as users and they literally have thousands of users on the product. Based on their testimonial and their lack of problems in performance, the scalability is there. In our company on our projects, we stay in the range of only hundreds of users, which is very small in comparison. As far as the number of people we require for maintenance, we are the level two maintenance with the vendor. To use and to configure on the client's side — for our clients — they really should never require in excess of one person full-time or the equivalent. Sign&Go has got a pretty low administrative requirement as far as maintenance is concerned. On our side, as far as the second level of support, I would say we get very few requests for actual issues with the product. The product stability is good. So, as far as running the maintenance on our end, we tend to only have a request is when a client needs to integrate a new workstation or do something else to expand their operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I feel it has been a very prudent investment, as I get everything I want and more from it for what I invest, and currently I feel that Auth0 Platform is very affordable."
"What attracted me to Auth0 Platform is how simple and easy it is to implement with my applications."
"It is scalable, it is safe, and it has all the features that an organization needs or might need in the future, making it future-proof."
"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"The most important feature for me was the ease of use, as it needed to be easy to integrate into my platform."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"It offers stronger security and flexibility with API keys, which are generated on runtime."
"The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
 

Cons

"Pricing would be one thing that keeps pushing businesses away."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check the signature to validate the token."
"Auth0 support engineer could have been more descriptive on the infra needs for the on-premise installation."
"The only downside to them is the pricing, which is a bit expensive."
"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."
"Better documentation for Salesforce integration is suggested."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different price levels: B2B, B2C, and enterprise. The basic plan is about $1,500 per month."
"It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."
"The tool is cheaper compared to competing solutions. Those alternatives tended to be more expensive. Consequently, Okta purchased it because it was considerably cheaper. The solution even offered some free services while still providing excellent functionality."
"Pricing of Auth0 is a pain point. Their pricing model is very confusing, at least for an enterprise. I don't like their pricing model. I think it's too aggressive. It's not very cheap for a service that only does authentication."
"I am pretty happy with the pricing model of Auth0. It is very clear for me. Considering our scale, the features that we are using, and additional features that we bought, we still find it great. If you split the costs for the whole year and calculate the number of people you needed to hire, it always comes out to be much lesser than what we would have spent on building our own solution."
