"One of the key benefits of this software is its ease of integration with a wide range of applications, including mobile apps and web applications. This simplifies the process of integration, and it can be seamlessly incorporated with Azure, Kubernetes, and other software systems."
"This is a scalable solution. If our app or general usage increases, this solution can support it."
"They offer a permission tool to help us manage multi-factor authentication."
"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."
"Cognito speeds up our development and saves us time."
"The multi-factor authentication setup has room for improvement."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its swift authentication."
"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 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 supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"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."
"Amazon Cognito’s UI needs improvement while onboarding new users."
"What I found generally lacking in AWS is privileged access management (PAM)."
"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."
"You need to evaluate the export users. The multifactor authentication, much less this room for improving the configuration setup of that."
"The secure authentication of Amazon Cognito has benefited our company. We were previously using legacy signup systems."
"I believe this product could improve by enriching user profiles."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
