Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The federation is one of the most efficient features as the pricing is competitive.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its swift authentication.""The most valuable features of Amazon Cognito are OTP validation and email validation.""The most valuable features of Amazon Cognito are the pre and post-token generation, and the different Cognito triggers. It has lots of functionality and flexibility.""This is a scalable solution. If our app or general usage increases, this solution can support it.""The multi-factor authentication setup has room for improvement.""They offer a permission tool to help us manage multi-factor authentication.""The solution is proto connective and integrates well with other AWS services."

"Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system.""Most of the features are related to banking within this particular IT industry. Security and the market are also important features."

Cons
"In a future release, we would like to have different methods to validate the characteristic of a user. For example, we would like to use biometric data to analyze the behavior of users.""The MFA related to the solution's side is nonexistent.""Amazon Cognito could improve by simplifying the configuration.""You need to evaluate the export users. The multifactor authentication, much less this room for improving the configuration setup of that.""What I found generally lacking in AWS is privileged access management (PAM).""The ease and simplicity of integration could be improved when using this solution. When using Okta, scope is a single endpoint with a parameter as a scope. In the Cognito for each scope, there is a separate endpoint.""Cognito triggers can improve by providing more direct use cases rather than giving a white paper. A white paper is not at all interesting, it has too many details. It would be a benefit to provide a smaller document that is summarized. The smaller version would bring microdata, macro data is not helpful.""I believe this product could improve by enriching user profiles."

More Amazon Cognito Cons →

"I would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface.""The tool integrates AI into the process modeling aspect. I believe this addition will significantly enhance usability. Additionally, it might be beneficial to have the capability to import content from other tools into this platform. Our platform follows its business process modeling notation standard, which differs from BPM. It uses a simpler notation, making it easier. The ability to import content from other tools could accommodate users accustomed to different standards."

    Overview

    Amazon Cognito is a simple user identity and data synchronization service that helps you securely manage and synchronize app data for your users across their mobile devices. You can create unique identities for your users through a number of public login providers (Amazon, Facebook, and Google) and also support unauthenticated guests. You can save app data locally on users’ devices allowing your applications to work even when the devices are offline. With Amazon Cognito, you can save any kind of data in the AWS Cloud, such as app preferences or game state, without writing any backend code or managing any infrastructure. This means you can focus on creating great app experiences instead of having to worry about building and managing a backend solution to handle identity management, network state, storage, and sync.

    Gluu publishes Internet security software universities, government agencies and companies can use to securely identify a person, and manage what information they are allowed to access.

    Gluu's flagship product, the Gluu Server, enables organizations to use free open source software (FOSS) to deliver a central authentication and authorization service for web and mobile applications.
