Amazon Cognito Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Solutions Architect & PMO at AS TV Play Baltics/TV3 Group2.5I use Amazon Cognito for secure single sign-on, benefiting from AWS-managed credential storage without leakage issues. However, its international localization needs improvement, requiring custom screens. While its security provides value, extended functionality costs are hard to justify.
Full-stack Developer / AWS Architect at Mantiqh Technologies4.5I use Amazon Cognito for user authentication, particularly for login and signup, due to its ease of integration and user management. While customization of authorization needs improvement, its simpler authentication process offers a better user experience compared to previous solutions.
Freelancer at Freelancer5.0I used Amazon Cognito for two years to manage application access, found it easy to integrate and stable, appreciated its support for identity providers, but felt branding customization could be improved; overall, it fully met my needs.
Cloud Software Engineer at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees4.0I use Amazon Cognito primarily for single sign-on to manage user access, especially in education and entertainment projects. The single sign-on feature is valuable, but enhancing token customization and improving the UI for easier configuration is needed.
Senior Technical Architect; Head of Platform at Blenheim Chalcot IT Services India4.0We use Amazon Cognito for user authentication, social sign-in, and SSO integration. Its IDP integration is valuable, but setup can be complex and costly. Although returns on investment are good, the pricing is high for smaller organizations.
Senior ict specialist at Information& eGov Authority3.5Amazon Cognito simplifies user management with built-in modules for creating, editing, and deleting users, saving time in development. While it integrates well with AWS services, improvements are needed in enriching user profiles and enhancing permission tracking for better reliability.
Chief technical officer at Solvezy Technology Kenya Limited4.5I use Amazon Cognito for user management and authentication, enabling swift authentication when users are created on the core application. However, I find the solution lacking in privileged access management, which is a generally needed enhancement in AWS services.
DevSecOps at Ciklum ApS4.5I am using Amazon Cognito for single-tenant authentication due to its ease of integration with various applications. While its seamless incorporation with Azure and Kubernetes is beneficial, the configuration process could be simplified. We chose this solution for its pay-as-you-go pricing model.
