• As such I do not find any major things as cons. However they can improve the documentation.
• Sometimes additional customisation increases complexity. Most of those advanced features are not used frequently.

• Overall, the product works well but does take time and effort to implement in highly complex environments. However, I do not believe this is unique to WS02.

• Amazon Cognito has had a positive impact on our business by allowing us to develop services that require user sign-up and sign-in more rapidly. Not only do we not need to build or maintain these features, but Cognito's implementation is also better than what we would be justified in building ourselves.
• Amazon Cognito makes user management easy. This reduces the time we have to spend supporting users. Non-technical product managers can even use the AWS Console to manage users without requiring support from developers.
• Amazon Cognito is likely more secure than what would be built in-house; a portion of our attack surface is now managed by Amazon.
