Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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).""The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly.""It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app.""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'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.""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."

More Auth0 Pros →

"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users.""Chrome extension and app.""Possibility to login using the fingerprint sensor on Android/iPhone.""The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked.""Keeper has strong security features.""It has a double authentication factor increasing the security level.""It is very easy to install and setup.""Keeper was user-friendly."

More Keeper Pros →

"The single sign-on is the solution's most valuable feature""A valuable feature of Siteminder is the way it handles bulk traffic. The features it has, in terms of routing the traffic and load balancing, are good.""IWA is an out-of-the-box feature. The SAML-based federation is standard for all tools. However, CA Single Sign-On has made the federation configuration way too simple and handy to set up and use.""Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO.""Federation is valuable, for sure, because we have a lot of third-party vendors that we need to integrate with, and this is a turnkey solution in some ways.""The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that.""The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory.""You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours."

Cons
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information.""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.""The tool's price should be improved.""The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly.""There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product.""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.""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.""This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."

More Auth0 Cons →

"Ability to store 'files' from IOS & Android devices. You can store pics from these devices currently. Most file formats can be uploaded from PC's/Macs""Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity.""Its aesthetic needs improvement.""Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault.""Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps.""I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards.""The stability of the solution can be improved.""Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."

More Keeper Cons →

"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration.""As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role.""Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved.""All the problems that we reported actually have never been resolved. We could not capture enough information for CA to be able to debug the problem.""If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake.""The initial setup was complex, painful. But that is to be expected of any new setup. When you're a big bank like us, any kind of migration to a new product is hard. I expect it to be painful, and it was painful. But it's not something that you can avoid.""I think they need to integrate some of the newer types of authentication into the product. I'm not seeing the innovation when it comes to biometrics in the product.""The technical support could be better."

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 →

  • "The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
  • "Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
  • "Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
  • "It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
  • "Just buy the yearly subscription."
  • "Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
  • "ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
  • "We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
  • More Keeper Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
  • "I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
  • "CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
  • "Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
  • "The licensing is fair for this solution."
  • "Siteminder is a little costly. You pay for licensing, and they offer packages, so if you have less users, then you have to buy different products at different prices. If you have more of a user base, then the package is different. They also include other features—for example, if you have a database and you're using Siteminder, then it's good to use a Semantic-specific database, but if you are using less, then you have to purchase the database separately. Whereas if you are going for a bigger license, then it comes within the package. It depends on which plan you are using."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
