Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy.""It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app.""The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase.""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 interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients.""It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on.""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 has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."

"This is a user-friendly solution.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution.""PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""We use the product to run different reports.""The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."

Cons
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly.""The product could use a more flexible administration structure""There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product.""The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved.""The tool's price should be improved.""This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced.""In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them.""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."

More Auth0 Cons →

"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature.""The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning.""PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""It requires some expertise to set up and manage.""Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep.""Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."

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 →

  • "PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."
  • "PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
  • "The product is costly."
  • "The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
  • "Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
