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.

Great validation and integrity features of the endpoint
Our primary use case of Safenet is for cybersecurity incidents, particularly for remote users.  I'm the customer sales leader and a key account manager and we are customers of Thales.  The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great. Whether you're using a Mac OS or other operating…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is scalable, it is safe, and it has all the features that an organization needs or might need in the future, making it future-proof."
"The most important feature for me was the ease of use, as it needed to be easy to integrate into my platform."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"After migrating to Auth0 from a custom authentication system, we noticed substantial improvements in developer productivity, auth-related implementations, and reduced login flow flaky tests."
"When comparing Auth0 Platform with Azure, you have to do a lot of things yourself if you want it to work and look and feel in a certain way, but with Auth0 Platform, that comes more out of the box."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"It is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Right now, we only have a small use case for the product, however, it has performed well."
"I recommend this solution because it protects information."
 

Cons

"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"Scalability is quite vast, but it does lead to higher pricing as usage increases."
"Auth0 Platform has an extension in the marketplace to see whatever applications I have assigned to the user. It would be easier if, as developed in Okta, they had an end-user dashboard integrated directly with Auth0 Platform's dashboard itself."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved further, and advanced authorization capabilities could be included in the next release."
"The tool's price should be improved."
"The initial setup was somewhat complex. Although documentation is available, it does not specify the exact format for multiple logout URLs or multi-tenant URLs, so sometimes I had to try different methods until it worked."
"Auth0 support engineer could have been more descriptive on the infra needs for the on-premise installation."
"Auth0 Platform is not as flexible compared to ForgeRock or IBM Security Access Manager."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"I'd like to see more networking features, such as the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"The scalability may not be there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."
"I am pretty happy with the pricing model of Auth0. It is very clear for me. Considering our scale, the features that we are using, and additional features that we bought, we still find it great. If you split the costs for the whole year and calculate the number of people you needed to hire, it always comes out to be much lesser than what we would have spent on building our own solution."
"Pricing of Auth0 is a pain point. Their pricing model is very confusing, at least for an enterprise. I don't like their pricing model. I think it's too aggressive. It's not very cheap for a service that only does authentication."
"There are different price levels: B2B, B2C, and enterprise. The basic plan is about $1,500 per month."
"The tool is cheaper compared to competing solutions. Those alternatives tended to be more expensive. Consequently, Okta purchased it because it was considerably cheaper. The solution even offered some free services while still providing excellent functionality."
