Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"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."
"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"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'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 user interface of the product is very easy to use."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It is very user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to install and has good reliability."
"The Solution's most important feature is that it can merge with a cloud-based active directory via Azure AD Connect."
"The most valuable features are it is easy to use, manage, create a repository, and create the OM."

"It is easy to understand all the components."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"The tool's price should be improved."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"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."
"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."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"There could be enough material to learn about the product."
"The DNS services could improve in Microsoft Active Directory."
"They should improve the solution's old computer cleanup tool."
"UI is not very user-friendly."
"The solution needs to be simplified to navigate."
"I would like to see the integration with Mac and IOS products improved."
"The solution's price could be better."
"Active Directory's user experience is a little dated. Group policy management should be more customizable."
