We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The federation is one of the most efficient features as the pricing is competitive.""This is a scalable solution. If our app or general usage increases, this solution can support it.""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.""Cognito speeds up our development and saves us time.""The most valuable features of Amazon Cognito are OTP validation and email validation.""The solution is proto connective and integrates well with other AWS services.""They offer a permission tool to help us manage multi-factor authentication."

"the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure.""If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible""It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files.""Safe-T is very good for users because it has plug-in for Outlook."

Cons
"Amazon Cognito’s UI needs improvement while onboarding new users.""I believe this product could improve by enriching user profiles.""The MFA related to the solution's side is nonexistent.""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.""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.""Amazon Cognito could improve by simplifying the configuration.""The secure authentication of Amazon Cognito has benefited our company. We were previously using legacy signup systems.""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."

More Amazon Cognito Cons →

"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office.""One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."

    Overview

    Amazon Cognito is a simple user identity and data synchronization service that helps you securely manage and synchronize app data for your users across their mobile devices. You can create unique identities for your users through a number of public login providers (Amazon, Facebook, and Google) and also support unauthenticated guests. You can save app data locally on users’ devices allowing your applications to work even when the devices are offline. With Amazon Cognito, you can save any kind of data in the AWS Cloud, such as app preferences or game state, without writing any backend code or managing any infrastructure. This means you can focus on creating great app experiences instead of having to worry about building and managing a backend solution to handle identity management, network state, storage, and sync.
