Chose Amazon Cognito
When compared to Okta, I would say Cognito is still not up to pace with Okta. However, I guess they are constantly updating their features and will soon come with the new features. I would say Cogntio provides a better interface than Azure.

Well Suited
  1. B2C mobile and web apps with a high number of users.
  2. Cheaper and cost-effective.
  3. If the other pieces of the infra are already using AWS services like Lambda, S3, Pinpoint, etc.
Not Suited For:
  1. Advanced use-cases (Biometrics based authentication) Email, and other MFA channels.
  2. For any use-cases needing SCIM.
  3. Customized flows of SSO, and MFA will need a layer on Lambda and other AWS services.

OneLogin is very convenient. Users can register their own iPhone or Android to act as their authorization device, meaning they will likely always have access to the OneLogin security code. The OneLogin application then allows the users to hit a button instead of inputting the security code to validate their two-factor authorization. OneLogin is great for businesses who need to enforce secure access into their various systems and tools. By consolidating the security into a single login with security device two-factor authorization, it makes it safe and easy to manage.

Pros
Amazon AWS
  • Strong integration with React.js and client-side applications
  • Easy to bridge Cognito identities with the rest of the AWS ecosystem
  • Easy to store user profile data directly in Cognito rather than having to build additional services/endpoints
  • Easy integration with AWS Lambda to extend and add sophistication to the service

One Identity, by Quest
  • Connects with a lot of different vendors, tools, and sites. It is also customizable to where you can add almost any site you are logging into. This makes it especially useful for team members who may use a tool that other team members within the company do not use.
  • It works. I've used a few keychain apps that work for a little while, or never work, and this app works 99.99% of the time. Only on one experience have I experienced issue access sites and that was due to user error.
  • It's easy to update passwords and usernames within the app. It allows password resets to be an easy process and lowers the time in updating items everywhere.

Cons
Amazon AWS
  • Amazon Cognito has a bit of a learning curve. You need to learn its concepts and terminology. The documentation does not describe some topics comprehensively.
  • Some Console screens would benefit from improved search and filtering options.
  • When another AWS product (e.g., SageMaker) configures Cognito on your behalf, it is not clear what you're getting. For example, the expiration of a temporary password was configured but never communicated.

  • Lack of administrative APIs for creating or setting up new connectors: This prevents the automated integration to federations and requires manual setup rather than discovery-based automated setup.
  • Customization of the interface: The potential configuration of the interface are still limited at the moment (logo, primary and secondary colors, background). This prevents the usage of the platform as a communication medium or to organize the space in a more standard fashion (for our institution)
  • There are some limitations with using the apps provisioning APIs that can lead to some termination or provisioning actions not being completed

Usability

All the features AWS Cognito offers gives the user the options they need without making it too complicated. Your customers will be happy. On the administration site usability is also great. After a small learning curve, you can setup Cognito for your usage

OneLogin is very easy to use. The most complicated part is the user setup and even that is not difficult. After everything is working, using it day to day is trivial. All you have to do is have the application ready on your phone and you can use a single set of login credentials to access all of your tools securely.

Support Rating
Amazon AWS
AWS Support overall is poor. Your main resources are trainings and the docs, and the docs can be very confusing. Using Cognito well involves having a developer learn it deeply and help support your team in understanding it. That said, Cognito's competitors also have dismal support and even worse documentation, so while this isn't a strength for Cognito it may still be the frontrunner here.

There has never been an issue where I have needed to use the OneLogin support so it would be unfair to rate them anything other than a 10 on their ability to provide support. Like I said its a very basic platform that we use it for with no issues.

They are ideal tools to create a secure and unique login experience for our applications. Thanks to its API authorization, Amazon Cognito ensures connections to applications that are secure.It is easy to use and provides easy access to files and applications that you need to complete your goal.

OneLogin has a lesser cost as compared to other solutions. It also has a successful POC, partner expertise, integration with in-house and cloud-based apps, and provides restriction of access from unauthorized devices. It is a secure solution with industry-standard encryption, a good dashboard, and a cloud-based solution. In my opinion, there is not too much effort involved in the integration and it provides good OEM support.

Return on Investment
Amazon AWS
  • ROI is great for Amazon Cognito Overall.
  • It is included in the AWS Free Tier so you can use it for a good amount without paying, so the software can be tested beforehand.
  • The paid pricing is also affordable, so a positive impact on ROI.

  • The one big benefit would be time-saving. It is a very convenient platform.
  • The access outside of the office also allows me to work at home or in my spare time for additional business that needs to be taken care of.
