Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.4
Auth0 Platform is highly scalable, supporting vast users with ease of integration, robust architecture, but potential pricing concerns.
Sentiment score
7.4
CyberArk Identity is praised for scalability, adaptability across environments, user support, flexible licensing, but noted for technical complexity.
As I continuously add users, customers, and refactor for other applications in Auth0 Platform, it supports my application growth efficiently.
Software Engineer at Arrowlytics, LLC
This scalability comes from its cloud-native architecture and its token-based systems, operating effectively across AWS, which also helps reduce bottlenecks through JSON Web Tokens and is built on microservices architecture.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
There are no issues with scalability; Auth0 Platform is very good in this regard.
Systems Engineer at cmc
We can use it on different phones and computers, demonstrating its scalability.
Program associate at IMAGINE HER
When delving deep into the concepts, there is a lot to address and learn, especially when facing real-time scenarios.

You can scale it out pretty easily, and you can implement it very small.

Sentiment score
8.4
Auth0 Platform is praised for outstanding stability and reliability, maintaining high performance and availability even under heavy traffic.

Senior Cyber Security Specialist Architect at a outsourcing company with 11-50 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Auth0 needs flexible admin, API support, better documentation, intuitive UI, lower pricing, improved authorization, and IoT integration.
Enhancements are needed in scalability, integration, network management, AI effectiveness, and cost-ease balance for improved user experience.
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
We must subscribe to a major plan to access most of their features. While this works well for larger companies, for small companies or those conducting POCs, this affects our budget allocation for other initiatives.
Lead Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
Auth0 Platform's documentation is excellent, their support organization is excellent, their code is robust, and it's certified as secure.
Principal Consultant at Building Block Technologies Inc.
It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration.
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
Integration or deployment is extremely difficult for CyberArk Identity.
Head of IT at Skutin Solutions
There's a need to enhance network performance.
Senior Technology Manager at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Auth0's pricing is competitive with a beneficial free tier, but some find costs high, especially for SAML.
CyberArk Identity's high pricing offers good value, flexibility, discounts, and effectiveness for enterprises needing advanced identity management features.
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.
Software Engineer at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
They provide a large free tier that is beneficial to companies with applications just starting to scale their user base.
Principal Consultant at Building Block Technologies Inc.
Regarding pricing, it can be quite a lot for small companies.
Access Management Analyst at Telefónica
The pricing is acceptable.
Program associate at IMAGINE HER
If I am not going fully cloud, there are additional resources I will need to purchase, such as spinning more VMs or acquiring an HSM device to encrypt the vault.
Head of IT at Skutin Solutions
 

Valuable Features

Auth0 offers scalable authentication, strong security, and seamless integration with customizable UI, benefiting organizations with flexible identity solutions.
CyberArk Identity enhances security and user management with seamless integrations, robust SSO, MFA, and compliance with ISO and PCI DSS.
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 a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
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
It impacts zero trust security strategies. It prevents lateral movements in the organization.
Head of IT at Skutin Solutions
The two-factor authentication is very important, but the fact that every account is being regenerated every time we use it is the most important security feature for us.
Cloud Specialist at Perini Beheer
It is the most powerful access management system.
Access Management Analyst at Telefónica

Featured Reviews

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.
Hariharan Thangasamy - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Delivery Analyst at Accenture
Has strengthened privileged access control and improved audit visibility through session monitoring and password rotation
On the identity product side, it is awesome. However, they can improve in the documentation parts. For example, if there is a migration process, I can see the maximum customers are moving from self-hosted to on-premises or from on-premises to the cloud. It would be helpful if they released a generalized document for processes such as migration. A clear overview document would assist us in understanding more about the tool, configurations, and automations to enhance our security. Regarding the initial setup of CyberArk Identity, I faced some challenges. At some points, I could not find proper documentation for deploying, enhancing, or integrating with other components. I could not find the proper documentation in the community portal.
