Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"It is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"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)."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to manage and it's stable."
"The most valuable features of ForgeRock are social login and data protection."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the authentication for the consumers. The integration with other third-party applications is excellent."
"The product is easy to set up."
"I like the way it is handling authentication and authorization."
"ForgeRock is an extensive product with many functionalities and capabilities, much more than many other tools combined."
"The solution integrates well and it is important for them to keep up with the current trends in the market quickly enough, and they have been doing a good job at it."
"Even though we have very small business interests with them today, they see that we plan on growing drastically over the next two years. Therefore, we have excellent support and we are now at a point where we are not calling tech support. We pick up a phone and call the Account Manager and they'll get everything resolved for us. We don't have to queue along with everybody else and go through a long process."
"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."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"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."
"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."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"As with any complex software platform, there is a learning curve to using ForgeRock, and it may require specialized expertise to implement and manage effectively."
"It should be a little bit easier to implement. It is user-friendly, but there is always scope for improvement."
"The user interface could be improved as it is cumbersome and outdated. It doesn't have a responsive UI."
"They should improve the solution by include reporting."
"Lacks simplified documentation within the tool that requires use of a separate portal."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"The identity management model needs a bit of improvement."
"We're worried about the scaling. We're told it will be okay and there won't be issues, however, I'm not 100% convinced."
