Intuitive with reCaptcha integration and helpful technical support
Frontegg's solution fits us very well, as it removes the extra work of developing, maintaining, storing, and securing all of the user-management platforms. It saves us a lot of time and money every single day. Frontegg allows our organization to focus on what matters - creating meaningful, innovative solutions for our customers without wasting time and energy on problems that were already solved by the industry many, many times before. Without Frontegg, our dev velocity would have been compromised greatly, since we would have to invest in a lot of resources to maintain a properly secured, granular, and flexible user-management framework.

Offers good support and multifactor authentication
I've been managing it in my company. I am more on the implementation side We implement the MFA feature, multifactor authentication and administrate the application. When it comes to authentication, the focus is always on security. That means using a separate device to verify the user logging in.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their developers were always willing to meet even though we are in very different time zones."
"It has Audit Log and many cool features that if we were to develop them by ourselves, it would require a lot of research and development resources. Frontegg gives us everything we need to ensure that our customers have a safe and reliable authentication system in which they can also manage some of the features and roles by themself which gives them more control over their environment."
"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide."
"We like the SSO, permissions and roles, multiple workspaces, and react login components."
"The MFA policy via Frontegg allows us to enable/disable/enforce the Multi-Factor Authentication policy of our users and to enhance security and adhere to modern standards."
"The admin portal layer is super useful and saves valuable front-end development time."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"The solution is highly stable and scalable"
"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."
"PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
 

Cons

"The PHP SDK is limited. It's not a huge deal as we can just use their web API directly, but it is something to note if you're using PHP.‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎"
"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."
"The web interface is missing a way to delete a workspace. I have accidentally created a workspace and was not able to delete it. It's a minor thing that should be supported."
"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized."
"We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap."
"It would be nice to have a backup export with all tenant/users so that in case of a mistake we can have the option to restore the users."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"The product is not customizable."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
