Well Suited
- B2C mobile and web apps with a high number of users.
- Cheaper and cost-effective.
- If the other pieces of the infra are already using AWS services like Lambda, S3, Pinpoint, etc.
- Advanced use-cases (Biometrics based authentication) Email, and other MFA channels.
- For any use-cases needing SCIM.
- Customized flows of SSO, and MFA will need a layer on Lambda and other AWS services.

Cons
Amazon Cognito
- 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.

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.
