Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase.""The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly.""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.""It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features.""The most valuable feature of the product is scalability.""It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app.""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.""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)."

"I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO.""The chat support is quick. I have never encountered any problems. On the contrary, they have been very helpful and kind.""Keeper has strong security features.""The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable.""I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility.""Support is very quick to respond, and they have fixed any issues that I have had.""We can access our sign-ins and passwords on up to five devices per user. This means I can access a given site and my login and password for that site from my home and office computers as well as my phone and iPad.""It has a secure password generator that incorporates random creation tools and good security practices, which allows for an easy, quick, organized update and sharing with a work team."

More Keeper Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory.""It's agent-based. It's convenient to deploy and integrate.""It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have.""You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours.""As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable.""The solution is easy to use for our managers.""Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability.""I liked the debugging part. There are only two files (trace file and log file) that you need to look into while performing debugging, and the logs give you the exact info on where and what needs to be fixed."

Cons
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product.""The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly.""In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them.""The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information.""The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved.""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.""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.""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."

More Auth0 Cons →

"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved.""Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school.""Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful.""Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault.""Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity.""The password rotation feature could be improved.""The technical support has no experience.""The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."

More Keeper Cons →

"I would like to see a move towards the newer technologies, which is what we are doing right now. I think that's in the roadmap that's coming, in the 12.8 and 14 releases, but we would like to have it sooner than later.""If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake.""Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved.""An area Siteminder could improve on is that there are a few limitations, in terms of new protocols for OpenID. If I want to have different scopes, the features are limited. They also do not have APIs exposed, which is a major drawback. API is a feature I would like to see included in the next release.""In future releases, I would like to see maybe more capabilities with some more modern authentication.""I think they need to integrate some of the newer types of authentication into the product. I'm not seeing the innovation when it comes to biometrics in the product.""To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly.""We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."

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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • More Auth0 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
  • "Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
  • "Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
  • "It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
  • "Just buy the yearly subscription."
  • "Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
  • "ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
  • "We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
  • More Keeper Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
  • "I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
  • "CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
  • "Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
  • "The licensing is fair for this solution."
  • "Siteminder is a little costly. You pay for licensing, and they offer packages, so if you have less users, then you have to buy different products at different prices. If you have more of a user base, then the package is different. They also include other features—for example, if you have a database and you're using Siteminder, then it's good to use a Semantic-specific database, but if you are using less, then you have to purchase the database separately. Whereas if you are going for a bigger license, then it comes within the package. It depends on which plan you are using."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
