Featured Reviews

Serge Wautier - PeerSpot reviewer
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.…

It's an inexpensive, scalable solution that has improved our security
We use Keeper to store passwords We previously kept our passwords in an Excel file. Using Keeper makes us more secure.  Keeper has strong security features.  The password rotation feature could be improved. I have used Keeper for three years. I rate Keeper eight out of 10 for stability.  I…
Muzi Lubisi - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved user experience with seamless integration and easy installation
The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows. Additionally, it is very beneficial for deploying single sign-on sessions between different windows on a web browser, provided I am connected to the right identity provider. That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"Auth0 has the best support ever."
"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 interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"It offers stronger security and flexibility with API keys, which are generated on runtime."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard."
"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."
"Keeper has strong security features."
"It has a double authentication factor increasing the security level."
"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users."
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"Siteminder allows us to manage identity and portability control efficiently."
"We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns."
"All of our applications get a point, click, and you are in, while we increase security at the same time."
"If you look at our organization, and really all financial institutions, we have a lot of legacy apps. So it really helps to get Single Sign-On."
"The Directory is secure. It's our user store, and it's important to keep our members safe. The product does well with that."
"The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
 

Cons

"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"Better documentation for Salesforce integration is suggested."
"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."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"If you’re not a developer, you need to spend time exploring more."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"I would like to see a way to store files and photos in the next update​. If it already does this, I have yet to explore it."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"Siteminder needs to improve its user experience."
"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."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
"Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7."
"The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA."
"We're currently unable to find information about if the solution can do a full implementation with SQL. Some better and more accessible documentation for new users or those curious about the product would be helpful."
"The tech support has not been very good for us so we don't use them anymore. We have had some issues. Nobody is perfect."
"All the problems that we reported actually have never been resolved. We could not capture enough information for CA to be able to debug the problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is a relatively inexpensive product in the industry."
"There are different price levels: B2B, B2C, and enterprise. The basic plan is about $1,500 per month."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Its price is reasonable."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
"I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
"The licensing is fair for this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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 solution's pricing is competitive."
"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
