Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"I simply use the JWT from the client on the server side to process requests and push updated profile data to a database/queue as needed and end the process without having to persist data in the web server (sessions)."
"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"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 has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"F5 BIG-IP APM is relatively easy to use."
"The tool is reliable and easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual IP creation. It's our most frequently used feature."
"Our customers have never complained about the stability"
"In my opinion, the GUI is perfect with the configuration options provided. F5 BIG-IP has given customization options and policy configuration tools in the GUI. It's good and good enough to work."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The product allows us to create customized portals for your users."
"The portal access was very good."
"The tool's price should be improved."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."
"When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."

"Cloud services are something that F5 Access Policy Manager could do better"
"The initial setup was complex."
"The technical support’s response time must be improved."
"F5 BIG-IP APM disconnects when you leave it for long enough, but that is natural for IT solutions to do. That's a little bit frustrating."
"The price of this product can be improved."
"The solution is quite costly."
"Integrating identity providers and single sign-on solutions can simplify user authentication and access control."
