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.

Oracle Identity Management
Oracle Identity Management is a great product, especially when working with multiple directories. It is best suited in a company that has multiple business divisions catering to different objectives. And not all companies would be able to utilize all of its features, especially if the users base is too small or the business model is restricted into one area.

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.

- The entitlements catalog was not robust enough for our needs. We ended up keeping an internal system to catalog our entitlements. This meant more integration code was necessary than we'd like.
- We evaluated the access request functionality, but again, it was not flexible enough and had a bunch of strange quirks (unnecessary button presses, etc).
- OIA was pretty slow and users would complain about it repeatedly. We tried working with Oracle to improve the performance, but didn't get anywhere after months of troubleshooting.

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 believe we had a quite fair RFP listing all our complex integration and being key on utilizing existing investments, the Oracle product met our requirements and the local partner presented that very well. With such combined synergy, the offering was appealing to be the winning bid and therefore Oracle Identity Management was selected.

- Oracle Identity Management is a great product, catering to the business needs.
- Not all features of the OIM suite are applicable to all companies, thus having an impact on ROI.
- Overall it is a great product that handles a large company's identity management requirements like a pro.
