Custom authentication has enabled secure multi-factor logins and unified access across apps
The features or capabilities of Amazon Cognito that I have found the most valuable so far include its seamless operation and the requirement of fewer integrations from the client side. All the features are there, enabling us to create the users, manage the groups, and manage access. Mostly, the access management is very good in Amazon Cognito, I would say. The benefits and positive impacts that Amazon Cognito has had in my experience include the fact that earlier we needed to implement so many things on behalf of the product itself. Now, the go-to-market strategy requires less than a week to complete integrations of the user flow, specifically mentioning that a basic authentication flow could be completed in a week itself. We don't have to care about how we manage the passwords, how we manage groups, and how we manage access management because all those things are there. It's handy, the documentation is very good, and it is easy to integrate. That's the reason I would say that the impact AWS is building on the product is great.

Centralized SaaS management has given us full visibility and has reduced costs and saved time
One main advantage with Zluri SaaS Management is that we got complete control over our SaaS products and complete visibility. We were able to easily understand all our licensing types, all our usages across different applications, the number of users, and everything. This brought more control and more visibility for our business. One best thing about Zluri SaaS Management is the 360-degree visibility into our SaaS stack. We are easily able to understand how much our spend is and what our usage is. Zluri provides this comprehensive dashboard in which they give us ratings based on what our usage of the platform is. For example, we use this platform called Salesforce where it will tell us whether we are on the right usage track or not, how many active users are there, and how much we are spending. The dashboard is the most useful part about Zluri. It definitely saves a lot of time for us. With Zluri's dashboard, we are able to optimize spends with user activity insights. We are able to identify and remove unused licenses and redundant apps. Some of our applications, we might not be using for more than six months or seven months. Those become redundant and renewal of those is not required. Zluri identifies these for us and helps us manage them. Also, some applications we might be on the higher version. Zluri helps us downgrade app licenses, thereby saving a lot of revenue for us. We have saved about $30,000 in yearly expenses after the introduction of Zluri SaaS Management. Being a cloud platform, one thing that is great is we get regular alerts about our software renewals so that we never miss the deadlines. These alerts can also be customized according to our needs, which is also very much useful with Zluri SaaS Management.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"They offer a permission tool to help us manage multi-factor authentication."
"The features most valuable to us are the ability to integrate with various IDPs and the capability to sync with multiple applications."
"Amazon Cognito was particularly helpful and clear to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its swift authentication."
"The features or capabilities of Amazon Cognito that I have found the most valuable so far include its seamless operation and the requirement of fewer integrations from the client side."
"The solution is proto connective and integrates well with other AWS services."
"This is a scalable solution. If our app or general usage increases, this solution can support it."
"What I find most valuable about Amazon Cognito is the single sign-on feature that provides a token for accessing protected APIs."
"With Zluri SaaS Management, we have been able to save $30,000 worth of expenses in the last year itself because we were able to identify the redundant software."
"Zluri SaaS Management has helped identify inactive users and inactive applications, saving approximately $60,000 in the last quarter alone, which has directly impacted overall revenue, leading to a 15% increase."
 

Cons

"I believe this product could improve by enriching user profiles."
"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, but in Cognito, for each scope, there is a separate endpoint."
"Amazon Cognito could improve by simplifying the configuration."
"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."
"What I found generally lacking in AWS is privileged access management (PAM)."
"The setup and configuration can be complex, especially for advanced use cases."
"Cognito has the possibility to render the login screen and all the customer flows related to managing the account. Still, it's useless in an international setup. They are unable to localize these screens, so we had to write our own screens and just use the Cognito API."
"The MFA related to the solution's side is nonexistent."
"One feature about Zluri SaaS Management is they have the ability to access reviews from different platforms so that we can post it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is relatively inexpensive compared to other tools."
"We pay $600 monthly per user for licences and there are no other additional costs."
"The pricing is bad so I rate it a two out of ten."
"The pricing of this solution is good compared to other solutions on the market."
"The price of Amazon Cognito is low. The pricing model is based on the users."
"The price of the solution depends on the number of users using it."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of Amazon Cognito is expensive. We are on an annual subscription."
