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

"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.""I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use.""It's pretty stable as a product.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""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."

Cons
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information.""There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product.""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.""The product could use a more flexible administration structure""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 tool's price should be improved.""The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."

"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings.""The product is not customizable.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

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."

  • "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."
