Auth0 vs. OpenText Identity and Access Management

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.

Suited for complex identity journeys involving multiple identity constituents like customers, employees, extended enterprise users (e.g., agents, partners, vendors). OpenText Identity and Access Management (IAM) Platform, formerly Covisint, is not suited for on-premises-based IAM implementations.

• 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

Incentivized

• Good personnel/team
• Small company type customer service gives ease of access and sense of urgency

• 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.

Incentivized

• Additional automation capabilities on the platform
• More configuration-driven approach
• Passwordless authentication

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

Product needs high level of customization to compete with other products in this space.

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.

• Dedicated customer success manager and deployment manager
• 1-800-like 24/7 support
• Very responsive technical team

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.

• 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.
