Identity workflows have transformed how we secure logins and manage user access daily
There are different elements to the best features Auth0 Platform offers, and I have touched on them, particularly the ability to help applications authenticate and authorize their users and manage their identities. A big point is identity federation, allowing connections across multiple identity providers, enabling users to log in using existing accounts due to databases and enterprise identity systems. A strong security feature is provided, particularly with their MFA, multi-factor authentication, which includes bot detection and brute-force protection, along with breached password detection, which is really good as an added extra. Auth0 Platform has positively impacted our organization, particularly in terms of usability. While we are not selling it directly, I find the platform easy to use for authenticating different users. Our own services team handles the implementation, so I cannot comment on the ease of that process. However, whenever we have had contracts and bids to roll out services, it has been really easy. We have seen improved security due to the implementation of Auth0 Platform. User management, such as creating and deleting users, is all about enhancing the user experience, which is massive. We assist with password resets and account linking. The time to implement is shorter, and we maintain a consistent user experience with a secure login flow, benefiting from a faster implementation due to the universal login, providing a hosted login page customizable by developers.

Needs to be easier to configure and to display logs more simply
We use only it for scanning files for viruses. That's the only feature we use in this product It needs to be easier to configure, it should be something that's working well with other sources. It should be something that allows me to see the logs simply. One to three years. Sometimes it doesn't…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Auth0 Platform offers excellent integration with modern web and mobile applications, allowing our brands to deliver new products easily and conveniently, helping them stay up-to-date with industry standard authentication platforms and facilitating the delivery of new features through straightforward integration with continuous integration and continuous delivery processes."
"Auth0 has the best support ever."
"There have been many improvements in our cloud technology since we are using Auth0 Platform, and it reduces our development time while providing many features to integrate and utilize so that everything is available in one place and we can develop our application faster, which minimizes our time and maximizes utilization."
"Auth0 Platform is effective for businesses looking to simplify authentication and identity management, and I would strongly recommend it."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"This solution does what we want it to do."
"Auth0 Platform has been working as expected, and we only need to scale our system."
"The most important feature for me was the ease of use, as it needed to be easy to integrate into my platform."
"It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files."
"We use only it for scanning files for viruses."
"If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible"
"If you need a solution for sending big files to customers or for receiving large files from them, this is a very good solution."
"At the end of the day it's really good and really improved."
"This product allows us to actually send it straight from our email to the other person's email in a safe way, where we can meet all our regulations and still keep the data in our control."
"Safe-T is very good for users because it has a plug-in for Outlook."
"the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure."
 

Cons

"Pricing would be one thing that keeps pushing businesses away."
"I find it surprising that there is no access to a standard user profile."
"Even now, it is a pain to back up to an offline location or it is hard to back up everything to your own data center or your own location."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"The tool's price should be improved."
"In my previous experience a couple of months ago, I checked and the permissions assigned to the user were not working, but then I had to update it by going to its company and then providing the particular permissions."
"Auth0 Platform works pretty well, but ways it can be improved include the universally cited complaint that the free tier is generous, but the jump to paid can be steep for a growing startup."
"Setting up Safe-T SDE is very complex. It is not straightforward, and it requires much understanding on the concepts of the product."
"The cloud solution is not that great especially with Swiss customers."
"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."
"I'm not sure what advice I would give others about this product because I don't like Safe-T."
"One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."
"Better UI. A better UI for the people that manage all the processes of Safe-T. Some of the UI is not as intuitive as you would like it to be."
"In terms of improvement, they need to be much more strict regarding the roadmap, about timelines and when new features will be up in production."
"When we have something that we want improved, it takes a little bit of time until it can be fixed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."
"There are different price levels: B2B, B2C, and enterprise. The basic plan is about $1,500 per month."
"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."
