Room For Improvement

Auth0 could improve with better reporting, documentation, branding options, UI, multi-tenancy, machine authentication, and pricing flexibility.
Ping Identity Platform needs improvements in biometrics, integration, cloud capabilities, user interface, and documentation for better security and flexibility.
The only area for improvement is that Auth0 Platform cannot handle requests for developing APIs for legacy systems, such as mainframe models, where ForgeRock and IBM Security Verify Access can be utilized.
Senior Manager And Vice President at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
By default, the user profile does not contain the name, first name, or address, which I would expect.

Setup Cost

Auth0's pricing is affordable vs. competitors but can rise at scale; additional features and support incur extra costs.
Ping Identity Platform offers competitive, subscription-based pricing, ideal for large enterprises but less suitable for smaller companies.
Considering the amount of features I use, such as multi-factor authentication, it is affordable and comparatively less for the features it is giving compared to other existing platforms.
Associate Software Engineer at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
The cost of the solution itself was cost-effective enough that I didn't even need to compare it with EntraID.
CTO at Lambda-X Ophthalmics
Auth0 Platform is quite affordable compared to IBM Security Access Verify, which is on the higher end.
Senior Manager And Vice President at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

Auth0 excels in handling authentication, offers extensive customization, integrates easily, supports social logins, and enhances security with MFA.
Ping Identity Platform offers customizable authentication, robust security features, and seamless integration for diverse client needs and device management.
Being able to execute custom code snippets within Auth0 Platform to set different access levels or provide messages to users who lack access to requested pages, along with tracking and notifications, is very beneficial.
Software Engineer at Arrowlytics, LLC
Key differences include time-saving features, everything in one place, many features, support for multi-tenancy, and management APIs for easy integration.
Senior Software Engineer at Concentrix Catalyst
The measurable improvements I have seen in scalability, security, and velocity since implementing Auth0 are mostly that I don't have to worry about adding new features because a lot of features are available out of the box when it comes to identity-related features.
Software Engineer at thealexa.dev
The platform enhances security measures by analyzing multi-factor authentication attempts, highlighting suspicious patterns, and generating compliance reports.
Senior ServiceNow Developer at Wells Fargo
It's a converged platform which can do both identity management, access management, and recently they are bringing privilege management capability as well.

Featured Reviews

Sebastian Micu - PeerSpot reviewer
Auth0 | Ciam Consultant at Intragen
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.
