Simplified integration with helpful support and decent pricing
Auth0 is used as an identity provider for our new SaaS platform to manage the identity of users Auth0 is cost-effective because it provides all the features we need, and it was very easy to integrate into our platform. The documentation is comprehensive, and their support team is highly helpful.…

Single sign-on saves time by seamlessly managing passwords and improving workflow efficiency
What I appreciate best about Imprivata OneSign are the single sign-on and the Confirm ID features. The single sign-on works seamlessly for all the nurses or the end users out there. You just have to log in to the application once and the single sign-on clicks in and works for everyone. Users don't have to manually remember all their passwords. Imprivata OneSign helps by remembering and storing all passwords. The integration capabilities of Imprivata OneSign offer many possibilities, and there are numerous upgrades Imprivata has been implementing. At this point, they are growing rapidly. There are new tools coming out for reporting and generating real-time analysis. Imprivata E-PAM is a new feature that I've been reading about in articles, which is going to help administrator people and enterprise administrator personnel to view real-time records and views for all end customers. Reporting and looking at logs for the users will be seamlessly efficient. I use the reporting tools available in Imprivata OneSign. The admin console itself has a reporting feature, which gives us a list of pre-built templates of reports where you can see how many users have been added, the user policy, the users who have last logged in in specific amounts of days, and the reporting for the EPCS users. There are numerous reporting options available which help with troubleshooting issues. I have seen many benefits from using Imprivata OneSign. It saves substantial time for nurses. As a nurse or doctor, you don't have to spend time remembering passwords or signing into computers. You just need to grab the nearest machine and tap in. You can use the machine anytime if you want. It saves time when dealing with patients. For doctors who might not be tech-savvy, Imprivata OneSign helps them sign in seamlessly.

Authentication process improves security with quick and intuitive user interface
The best feature is the speed and execution of Okta Workforce Identity. The moment you click on single sign-on, you immediately get the notification on your mobile phone, then you do the authentication and within a second you get authenticated. The entire customer experience is very good. The user interface is pretty simple, straightforward, and really good. Multi-factor authentication in Okta Workforce Identity is very useful so people who do not have access or are trying to access using just a user ID and password will be completely blocked because of this two-factor authentication. You will get the code, and as your device is authorized in the system, only that device can be used for the authentication purpose. A third person trying to access or hack your data will not be able to do that anymore. Additionally, you don't have to remember your passwords going forward. Previously, every 60 days or 90 days, passwords kept changing. With the two-factor authentication or single sign-on option in Okta Workforce Identity, you don't have to remember it anymore or write down passwords in plain text. If something goes wrong, we have the IAM team which can unlock your account immediately if you have issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"The most important feature for me was the ease of use, as it needed to be easy to integrate into my platform."
"Auth0 has the best support ever."
"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 valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"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."
"It offers stronger security and flexibility with API keys, which are generated on runtime."
"Imprivata OneSign helps customers minimize their work in remembering passwords and enhances their security."
"I have seen many benefits from using Imprivata OneSign. It saves substantial time for nurses."
"It provides a service that allows users to sign in to whatever application they are using. This is the most important feature of this solution."
"It has benefited my organization in the way that it makes it more secure by making it harder to hack."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"The solution so far has been very stable."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"They have good push authentications."
"The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."
 

Cons

"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"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."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"I find it surprising that there is no access to a standard user profile."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"Better documentation for Salesforce integration is suggested."
"They should have a landing page."
"Fast user switching and Citrix integration in Imprivata OneSign could improve. There are many options available for VDI connectivity, but I've seen issues with VDI connectivity and Citrix storefront connectivity."
"Imprivata OneSign should have a landing page because most customers prefer this feature, which is currently a strong point for competitors."
"I would like for them to make this solution compatible with Mac OS. I would also like for them to provide a portal so that users can easily integrate it with their applications."
"We had some implementation issues."
"This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Okta should have at least a local peering partner for countries that align with or comply with GDPR, so there are no compliance or audit questions."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
"The stability could be better."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."
"At the moment, I believe the price is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable, it's an affordable solution."
"The solution's pricing model could be better for SMBs."
"This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."
"I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
"The licensing is per user per month and includes full technical support."
"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."
"The solution is not the cheapest but not the most expensive. They are in the middle rating."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
