Auth0 vs. Transmit Security CIAM Platform

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.

Transmit Security hides nicely in the taskbar until needed. It works behind the scenes. It is seamlessly integrated into the Macs functionality. Transmit Security has helped us keep our systems secure while helping make our job easier all round. We would not change it for anything else now. It is our go-to FTP client.

• 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.

• Updates were not happening as often, but that could be because they were not needed.
• Some settings were being lost and had to be re-entered, but that has since been resolved.
• Interface has improved tremendously since first it launched.

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.

It has seldom been we needed any support with Transmit Security, but when we did, they were on it. We got help in minutes rather than hours or days like other suppliers in this marketplace. Indeed, their support convinced us in the beginning that we had made the right decision.

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.
• Telling customers we can connect them with what ever they have whether its social / SAML / OIDC put us in flexible position

Incentivized

• Saved us time with remote connections
• Keeps our data secure
• It helps us maintain our customer's information in the highest confidence.
