"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"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)."
"Installation and configuration are pretty easy for ForgeRock OpenIDM."
"The support is good and prompt."
"Easy to navigate, handle and manage the applications."
"Their access management solution, OpenAM, is most valuable because it meets the needs of a lot of users."
"The solution is very scalable. We have a lot of users that have been increasing over the years that we have been using it. We have approximately 20,000 users."
"We create and define the permissions and configurations for the users."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the authentication for the consumers. The integration with other third-party applications is excellent."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to manage and it's stable."
"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 price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"The tool's price should be improved."
"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."
"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 could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"It should have a better user interface. Its flexibility should also be improved. It is not about simplifying; it is more about flexibility. Each company has its own requirements, and ForgeRock can provide more flexibility in terms of the use of existing modules to implement features for the customers."
"The identity management model needs a bit of improvement."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"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."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by limiting the need to do customizations."
"It should be a little bit easier to implement. It is user-friendly, but there is always scope for improvement."
"Lacks simplified documentation within the tool that requires use of a separate portal."
"ForgeRock is an open source solution and is available to everyone but it is not freeware. If you need support, you need a subscription for ForgeRock. Many of its functionalities need to be built up with the help of a consultant."
