    Chose IBM Cloud App ID
    I was building my application’s back end on IBM Cloud Functions, so naturally I had to use App ID. Because of the seamless integration between App ID and Cloud Functions, I can create protected API endpoints for my Single Page Application (SPA) and not have to write middleware …

    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.

    Whenever you need to provide Security Provider functionality for a web based application it is well suited. You can also integrate with other directory services (e.g. SAML, Facebook, Google), but not so easily with other Auth0 based services. The customization of the login page is very intuitive, but does not allow much customisation. using the integrated Cloud Directory, you do not need to integrate with existing security providers and you can build up your own user base - including Multi-Factor Authentication settings and password policies.

    Pros
    Okta
    • RBAC is simple, straight forward and easy to manage
    • Integrations of Social Login are simple to configure and the Auth0 documentation shows step by step how to configure it
    • Rules/Hooks provide customization to the Auth0 flow, making it a great solution to define how we allow our users to login into our applications

    • Uses OIDC/OAuth, so the protocols for accessing user info and token management is familiar
    • Clear pricing model
    • API binds nicely with IBM Cloud Functions
    • Billed as part of our IBM Cloud, along with our other services
    • Front-end SDK for Vue, works well

    Cons
    Okta
    • 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.

    • Pricing can be heavy on small organizations.
    • User interface updates could be timely.
    • Cloud services hangs at times, but very rarely.

    For our purposes, Auth0 is still one of the best valued RBAC platforms in the market.

    Usability
    Okta
    Like in my case, it helps me build a better business by requiring authentication and better login features, as they are needed quickly. It helps me save time by not having to create it from scratch and provides better role-based login and access. One of my most helpful features is SSO (Single Sign On). If the user wants Microsoft-able SSO, Auth0 provides an all-in-one.

    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.

    Both the software have different use cases, like IBM Cloud App ID, which will be more suitable for internal websites and apps or specific event website authentications, Auth0 can be suitable for consumer websites, e-commerce sites, where social media login is preferred more by the users. Both have their own capabilities so can be chosen according to their needs.

    Return on Investment
    Okta
    • SAML SSO is a breeze - this alone saves a lot of dev/support hours.
    • We are not worried by hackers and chasing security protocols and standards, I guess about half a day job of a developer.
    • Telling customers we can connect them with what ever they have whether its social / SAML / OIDC put us in flexible position
