Room For Improvement

Auth0 requires improvements in reporting, admin flexibility, API support, documentation, pricing, and features like multi-tenancy and IoT integration.
Control-M faces challenges with upgrades, UI complexity, cost, and needs improved real-time analytics, AI integration, and cross-platform support.
The only area for improvement is that Auth0 Platform cannot handle requests for developing APIs for legacy systems, such as mainframe models, where ForgeRock and IBM Security Verify Access can be utilized.
Senior Manager And Vice President at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
By default, the user profile does not contain the name, first name, or address, which I would expect.

Auth0 could be made more accessible to beginners.
Senior Software Engineer at Charter Communications
They could provide more documentation and tutorials to make the initial setup easier to understand.
Assistant professor at J.P. College of Engineering
We've experienced main problems with MFTE where having one setup means when an error occurs, the entire service goes down.
Control-M System Administrator at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees
Documentation should be maintained for all versions since they provided the application.
Sr Manager at Vodafone
 

Setup Cost

Auth0 offers competitive and clear pricing with efficient setup, but enterprise costs, especially for SSO, can be confusing.
Control-M's licensing costs are high, but flexible pricing allows value and adaptability for enterprise environments, challenging smaller companies.
A downside I remember mentioning is that pricing can be high at scale, though that is not a product issue; it relates more to the nature of large enterprise solutions.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Considering the amount of features I use, such as multi-factor authentication, it is affordable and comparatively less for the features it is giving compared to other existing platforms.
Associate Software Engineer at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
The cost of the solution itself was cost-effective enough that I didn't even need to compare it with EntraID.
CTO at Lambda-X Ophthalmics
The licensing cost is very high, and they often consider switching to IBM Workload Scheduler or other options.
Associate Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Control-M tends to be more expensive compared to other solutions, but users get great value from it.
Senior System Specialist at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Control-M is among the highest-priced solutions in the market.

Valuable Features

Auth0 enhances security and flexibility, simplifying authentication with scalable solutions, customizable access, and robust compliance, boosting development efficiency.
Control-M enhances efficiency and reliability through centralized management, seamless integration, automation, and robust scheduling, monitoring, and alert functionalities.
Being able to execute custom code snippets within Auth0 Platform to set different access levels or provide messages to users who lack access to requested pages, along with tracking and notifications, is very beneficial.
Software Engineer at Arrowlytics, LLC
Key differences include time-saving features, everything in one place, many features, support for multi-tenancy, and management APIs for easy integration.
Senior Software Engineer at Concentrix Catalyst
A big point is identity federation, allowing connections across multiple identity providers, enabling users to log in using existing accounts due to databases and enterprise identity systems.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Automation is more advanced, deployment is fast, and version control has been simplified.
Data scientist at Advarisk
The user interface is comprehensive and lets me view all my jobs on one page, monitor everything, and access the job history.
Cloud Engineer at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
If I have a staff that operates Control-M on Windows Server, they will easily pick it up if they need to run it on Unix or mainframes. It's the same interface, saving time and improving efficiency.

Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Identity workflows have transformed how we secure logins and manage user access daily
There are different elements to the best features Auth0 Platform offers, and I have touched on them, particularly the ability to help applications authenticate and authorize their users and manage their identities. A big point is identity federation, allowing connections across multiple identity providers, enabling users to log in using existing accounts due to databases and enterprise identity systems. A strong security feature is provided, particularly with their MFA, multi-factor authentication, which includes bot detection and brute-force protection, along with breached password detection, which is really good as an added extra. Auth0 Platform has positively impacted our organization, particularly in terms of usability. While we are not selling it directly, I find the platform easy to use for authenticating different users. Our own services team handles the implementation, so I cannot comment on the ease of that process. However, whenever we have had contracts and bids to roll out services, it has been really easy. We have seen improved security due to the implementation of Auth0 Platform. User management, such as creating and deleting users, is all about enhancing the user experience, which is massive. We assist with password resets and account linking. The time to implement is shorter, and we maintain a consistent user experience with a secure login flow, benefiting from a faster implementation due to the universal login, providing a hosted login page customizable by developers.

Brings data together from multiple platforms and optimizes cross-environment orchestration
The features of Control-M that I like the most include the ability to easily integrate or bring in different platforms into Control-M. For instance, AWS, mainframe, TWS, and something that's running on Autosys can all be brought into Control-M, converted to how Control-M runs it, and then the batch can be executed. This centralizes various applications in Control-M, which doesn't just have to handle batch processes, but also other tasks like reporting on required data. I find this functionality very useful and the setup is impressive, with more advancements yet to come. With Control-M, my company has achieved several measurable improvements since I started. The metrics indicate that the number of failures has dropped, and we have addressed the issue of excessive false alerts that I encountered when I joined. Previously, we received an overwhelming number of alerts daily, but now we manage to maintain that at a normalized level, perhaps around five to fifteen alerts, depending on running core batches and their setup.
