Currently, I feel that Auth0 Platform is very affordable.
Software Engineer at Arrowlytics, LLC
If a company has a data breach, it does not matter how much money they saved by not using tools because users will leave and the reputation will be damaged.

8.4
Auth0 Platform is highly stable and reliable, providing high availability and efficient load handling with minimal performance issues.
Sentiment score
7.1
Notion is generally stable but faces occasional crashes, slowdowns, and mobile app limitations, affecting only demanding tasks.

Room For Improvement

Auth0 requires improvements in reporting, admin flexibility, API support, documentation, pricing, and features like multi-tenancy and IoT integration.
Notion's mobile app needs speed, collaboration, offline mode, UI improvements, integrations, better pricing, and performance with large datasets.
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.
CTO at Lambda-X Ophthalmics
Auth0 could be made more accessible to beginners.
Senior Software Engineer at Charter Communications
Notion has one big downside: the lack of an offline mode.
Founder at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
It's difficult to determine what information is private.
Founder at AppCritic
I might find myself trying to load a new page, but I am unable to move from one page to another due to frequent hanging.
Project Management Associate at MPost
 

Setup Cost

Auth0 offers competitive and clear pricing with efficient setup, but enterprise costs, especially for SSO, can be confusing.
Notion offers affordable pricing with good value, but advanced features and additional users may increase costs for teams.
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
However, inviting additional users can become costly.
Founder at AppCritic
It's affordable and offers community support if I get stuck.
Project Management Associate at MPost
Generally, it is not cheap.
Head of Product at a educational organization with 201-500 employees
 

Valuable Features

Auth0 enhances security and flexibility, simplifying authentication with scalable solutions, customizable access, and robust compliance, boosting development efficiency.
Notion offers flexibility, customization, and collaboration, integrating tools to enhance productivity and streamline project management for organizations.
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.

Key differences include time-saving features, everything in one place, many features, support for multi-tenancy, and management APIs for easy integration.

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.

The most impactful feature for project management is the ability to invite multiple client stakeholders without complication.

Notion has very strong integration capabilities.

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.
