Amazon Cognito vs. Jumio

Well Suited

1. B2C mobile and web apps with a high number of users.
2. Cheaper and cost-effective.
3. If the other pieces of the infra are already using AWS services like Lambda, S3, Pinpoint, etc.

Not Suited For:

1. Advanced use-cases (Biometrics based authentication) Email, and other MFA channels.
2. For any use-cases needing SCIM.
3. Customized flows of SSO, and MFA will need a layer on Lambda and other AWS services.

I
would recommend this tool to every company that wants to establish an
enterprise-wide authentication policy. I am using this tool and I find it helpful in protecting my most
valuable and important data, applications, resources, and information. The most
important thing about this product is that it provides smarter anti-fraud and
compliance solutions for the security of fast-growing businesses.

• Strong integration with React.js and client-side applications
• Easy to bridge Cognito identities with the rest of the AWS ecosystem
• Easy to store user profile data directly in Cognito rather than having to build additional services/endpoints
• Easy integration with AWS Lambda to extend and add sophistication to the service

Incentivized

• API is easy to use.
• Sales person setup the call pretty quickly.
• Documentation is good.

• Amazon Cognito has a bit of a learning curve. You need to learn its concepts and terminology. The documentation does not describe some topics comprehensively.
• Some Console screens would benefit from improved search and filtering options.
• When another AWS product (e.g., SageMaker) configures Cognito on your behalf, it is not clear what you're getting. For example, the expiration of a temporary password was configured but never communicated.

Incentivized

• This tool stops working immediately when any customer touches the debit card or bill statement on its screen many times.
• I found this tool quite expensive than other authentication tools.

All the features AWS Cognito offers gives the user the options they need without making it too complicated. Your customers will be happy. On the administration site usability is also great. After a small learning curve, you can setup Cognito for your usage

AWS Support overall is poor. Your main resources are trainings and the docs, and the docs can be very confusing. Using Cognito well involves having a developer learn it deeply and help support your team in understanding it. That said, Cognito's competitors also have dismal support and even worse documentation, so while this isn't a strength for Cognito it may still be the frontrunner here.

I
have used above mentioned platforms but I found the Jumio best solution for my
organization as it provides us with a frictionless onboarding experience. As
compared to its alternatives it offers a quick and unique identifier for
exceptional security. I am strongly encouraged by this product as it enables
safety and trust online by powering fraud and compliance systems in the whole
world in comparison with other tools.
