We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app.""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.""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 is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on.""The most valuable feature of the product is scalability.""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.""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 supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."

"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well.""The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity.""The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance.""In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc.""It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft.""Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment.""Cloud-based service and management.""It is easy to use."

Cons
"The tool's price should be improved.""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.""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.""In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them.""This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced.""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.""The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."

More Auth0 Cons →

"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it.""Geofencing needs improvement.""In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""It is challenging to use when installing a new version.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users.""The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved."

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."
  • More Auth0 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing and pricing seems very fair."
  • "There is a one-time setup fee plus the licenses are provided as per the number of users. For SMS and voice calls, the costs are separate."
  • "There are additional costs for maintenance."
  • "I can say that the solution is worth the money."
