Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"One standout feature is the capability to configure various authentication and authorization methods from diverse user directories.""The most valuable features are predominantly in the directory and development spaces."

More Atlassian Crowd Pros →

"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.""It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on.""It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy.""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.""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).""It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features.""It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app.""The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."

Cons
"There's a need for effective group membership management, especially for corporate programs.""It makes you more efficient, but you have to optimize what you're doing before you get into the software."

More Atlassian Crowd Cons →

"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them.""When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience.""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.""The product could use a more flexible administration structure""The tool's price should be improved.""The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's pretty cheap. I would rate the price as three out of five."
  • "While it may seem affordable for larger enterprises, it tends to become more expensive as you move up the scale."
  • More Atlassian Crowd Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."
  • "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."
