Amazon AWS
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.

Scenarios where IDCS is well suited:
  • Oracle Identity Cloud Service is well-suited for organizations that require a centralized approach to managing user access and authentication across multiple applications and services.
  • Organizations with strict compliance requirements
Scenarios where IDCS might be less appropriate:
  • Organizations with limited customization requirements

Pros
Amazon AWS
  • 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

Oracle
  • Restrict access to the applications outside our organization network.
  • Multiple IDP configurations make it easy for us to authorize access.
  • The adaptive security feature lets us know high-risk users.

Cons
Amazon AWS
  • 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.

  • DJSIR Oracle Identity Cloud Service is federated with DJSIR SSO. When an employee leaves the company an office account will get deleted but it's not reflecting in Oracle Identity Cloud Service or the profile is not getting deleted from Oracle Identity Cloud Service console.
  • Oauth setup for the application is a bit confusing
  • Increase the number of reports available

Usability
Amazon AWS
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

Oracle cloud services meets most of our needs. I hope in the future we could look at more of the OIG functions included so we could move away from needing to stand up that component.

Support Rating
Amazon AWS
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.

The support for Oracle Identity Cloud Service is generally good. Nevertheless, it can take some time to get a response from the support team which creates initial frustration, and the customer will have to wait till the SR gets assigned to a support person.

They are ideal tools to create a secure and unique login experience for our applications. Thanks to its API authorization, Amazon Cognito ensures connections to applications that are secure.It is easy to use and provides easy access to files and applications that you need to complete your goal.

Oracle's Identity Cloud Service works more in conjunction with the aforementioned. I think it works similar to Oracle Identity Management (OID) but seems a little more abstracted.

I hope at some point we could get away from needing to "bring our own" licenses and just have a unique user login rate.
