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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After implementing Auth0 Platform, I have seen measurable improvements in scalability, security, and developer velocity with our cloud environments."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"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 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."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"I simply use the JWT from the client on the server side to process requests and push updated profile data to a database/queue as needed and end the process without having to persist data in the web server (sessions)."
"What attracted me to Auth0 Platform is how simple and easy it is to implement with my applications."
"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."
"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved further, and advanced authorization capabilities could be included in the next release."
"Our experience with customer service has been a mixed bag."
"Scalability is quite vast, but it does lead to higher pricing as usage increases."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"If you’re not a developer, you need to spend time exploring more."
"Pricing is a significant issue we faced."
"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 then signature to validate the token."
"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."
"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
