Great granularity for roles and permissions and is multi-tenant by design
Today the features we’re using the most include the registration page, user and tenants management (including storing custom data on the tenant level to use as “feature flags”), and the admin portal. I like the admin portal since it allows us a full-stack solution for user management. The frontend side is a major benefit that I am happy I can give my customers from day one, without compromising. It helps us grow fast and focus our dev team on the core product while providing important user infrastructure to our customers. Another important benefit we discovered is the ease of integration. The integration with Frontegg is almost immediate, and the support is great. If you’re thinking of developing it on your own, don’t.

Simple to use, easy to set up, and performs well
I'm not saying that we want to switch the product, however, since the requirement has increased, we are looking at other options that may be better suited. The scalability may not there. We have a few specific use cases where we have to avoid the cloud. Especially in Europe, we're not allowed to carry their phone in factories. We need some sort of secure access solution. There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure. I am paying to SafeNet and in parallel, I also need to pay Microsoft to use the same service. That makes no sense, to pay double. If they could do something about it, that would be very good.

Pros

"The frontend side is a major benefit that I am happy I can give my customers from day one, without compromising."
"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."
"We like the SSO, permissions and roles, multiple workspaces, and react login components."
"In addition, I was most impressed with Frontegg's quick turnaround to fix bugs and implement feature improvements."
"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."
"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide."
"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."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"The solution is simple to use."
"The interface is easy to use."
"I recommend this solution because it protects information."
"Right now, we only have a small use case for the product, however, it has performed well."
 

Cons

"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."
"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.‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎"
"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized."
"The PHP SDK is limited."
"It would be nice to have a export button to file with all tenants/users so that in case of a disaster we will have the option to restore the users from file."
"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."
"We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap."
"I'd like to see more networking features, such as the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"The scalability may not be there."
