6.6
Auth0 Platform is praised for scalability and reliability, though some note pricing concerns and infrastructure challenges.
Sentiment score
7.1
Notion efficiently scales from small teams to large organizations, offering flexibility and adaptability but may have rising costs.
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
It works really well because it can be used across different departments and different teams with everyone having their own dedicated page and subpages within that.
Head of Product at WERULE
Notion's scalability is 10 out of 10.
Head Of Product & Engineering (Cpto) at a real estate/law firm with 11-50 employees
Notion is heavily scalable, and we did not have a problem with scalability at all.
CEo at CloudPositive

Founder at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Auth0 needs improvements in flexibility, API development, features, pricing, and documentation to match competitors and meet user demands.
Notion can improve offline reliability, pricing, user interface, integrations, performance, search, mobile optimization, and collaboration features.
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.
Notion has one big downside: the lack of an offline mode.
Founder at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
I know from my friend that when the database becomes large, it becomes very slow and laggy.
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
I really think that the transcription of the conversation is very important because when you're going to ask a question with AI, you need that more than the resume.
Project Manager, AI, Digital & Innovation at a marketing services firm with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

Auth0 provides cost-effective, flexible pricing with enterprise agreements, but technical support costs extra beyond tier-based plans.
Companies praise Notion's free tier but face rising costs with premium features, challenging larger organizations and user-specific upgrades.
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
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.
However, inviting additional users can become costly.
Founder at AppCritic
Generally, it is not cheap.
Head of Product at a educational organization with 201-500 employees
From what I've seen so far, the pricing looks fair for teams or more advanced features.
AI Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
 

Valuable Features

Auth0 Platform offers scalable SSO, multifactor authentication, seamless integrations, strong security, customization, and cost-effective scalability benefits.
Notion excels in collaboration, flexibility, and integration, with customizable templates and real-time features enhancing productivity and organization.
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
The most impactful feature for project management is the ability to invite multiple client stakeholders without complication.
Founder at AppCritic
Notion has very strong integration capabilities.
Founder at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Overall, it adds significant value to our project management by organizing our work efficiently.
Architect at Nexworld

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.

Minimal workspace has organized policies and student records and improves team collaboration
One of the main frustrations I have is the pricing of Notion. It is really pricey; we even used to call it pretty pricey for an expensive notepad. Notion has a per-user pricing model, but I think if it was per-organization pricing with a flat rate for the whole organization regardless of how many new people join, that would be really awesome. But with their current pricing models, especially for a growing organization when scaling from ten to one hundred employees, it is going to cost a lot of money. It is ten dollars as I remember, but that is a lot because you have to pay it per person. Another issue is that sometimes their markdown editor has a great many features, but sometimes the markdown editor breaks. When I copy something from ChatGPT and paste it there, sometimes the content gets messy. Only sometimes, but when it gets messy, it is really hard to fix things up. I might have to delete the entire thing and do everything by hand. So there are some bugs related to the markdown editor, but that is not always the case. The main pain point I would say is the pricing model. I do not have more needed improvements to add regarding integrations, performance, or mobile experience. Those areas are good in my mind. I have not actually used the mobile app a lot, but from other sides that is all good. The main two needed improvements I would suggest are a better pricing model and fixes for some bugs in the markdown editor.
