Auth0 is an identity management platform for developers and application teams. It gives users a platform to authenticate and authorize, providing secure access to applications, devices, and users. Auth0 aims to provide the simplicity, extensibility, and expertise to scale and protect any application, for any audience. Integrate Auth0 into any app, written in any language, and any framework.
Great for user authentication and access priviledge management. We are using it for both our commercial and financial clients and Auth0 meets all the regulations and due diligence required to close deals with these enterprise customers. Given their tiered pricing structure, we don't see a scenario where Auth0 would not be appropriate for the solution it provides.
Users feel safer knowing that even if someone gets the password, but they can't access the accounts without the code on phone, and sometimes if no networks also with dynamically changing pin it also helps to sign in to the account without issues. Push notification also would be a great design so users can easily access it.
Price point for ALL features can get a bit pricey. But they have a startup plan which helps big time. Developer plans start at $23/mo and do not include all features.
Actions, rules, hooks, and email customization are great features, but the UI is a bit tough sometimes, not very responsive to screen size and code editors are cut off in a difficult place to maneuver.
Overall it is a very good authentication platform. It is very intuitive when someone get used to it . The dashboard is clean and most configurations steps are easy to setup. It handles complex authentication flows in a straightforward way. It is just real time detailed analytics logs could be improved.
The app makes it pretty straightforward to add accounts by scanning QR codes or entering setup keys manually. Even if you’re not super tech-savvy, the initial setup is usually smooth. Once set up, I can quickly open the app and get the 2FA codes I need without any delays or complications. The codes refresh automatically and are easy to copy over.
There isn't a clear method to get a hold of support when trouble arises if you're on their standard plan. You can file a support ticket and they generally are responsive. I've often been able to find similar questions to the questions I've had when it comes to support in their ticket history, however, some have been closed without a satisfactory conclusion for the original poster.
We went with Auth0 over Okta due to price concerns and the overall simplicity of Auth0. We chose Auth0 over Amazon Cognito because Cognito has very poor documentation and client library support. Auth0 offers a service that hits the sweet spot for organizations with small development teams and limited finances.
