Auth0 vs. Tivoli Identity Manager (legacy)

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.

It's probably really best suited if you have a business where you have disparate systems but need a way to synchronize the user account information including the passwords between them. If you just have a Windows Active Directory environment only, there probably is no real need for something like this, but if you do this will help manage them easily.

• 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

• Fully customizable
• Automate various portions of various applications
• Great at Access Management (but also Release, Change, Event, etc)

• 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

• Sometimes it feels unresponsive and we have to restart the services.

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

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.

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.

Besides the random issue where it gets unresponsive and we have to restart the services or reboot the server, it's been really solid. I've only had to contact support 1 time in the 15 years I've used it which is saying more than most other software. The cost of maintenance is also very cheap compared to some of the other software we use.

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.

I haven't used anything but Tivoli in this space.

• 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

Incentivized

• Single sign on and web-threat protection
• Cutting down time to enter multiple usernames and passwords
• Cutting support call times across multi apps
