Amazon AWSA Learning Curve, but Great for Serverless2019-01-17T20:13:32.948ZThe engineering and data science teams at my organization use Amazon Cognito to provide user sign-up and sign-in for some internal tools that need to be accessible to digital freelancers. Amazon Cognito saves us time that we would have spent building user sign-in and is much more fully-featured than what we would have been able to justify building.,Amazon Cognito allows you to build multi-factor authentication with a few clicks.
Cognito supports sign-in with social identity providers like Facebook and Google.
It is easy to manage Cognito users through the Console.
It is easy to customize sign-up and sign-in workflows by integrating with AWS Lambda.,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.,7,Amazon Cognito has had a positive impact on our business by allowing us to develop services that require user sign-up and sign-in more rapidly. Not only do we not need to build or maintain these features, but Cognito's implementation is also better than what we would be justified in building ourselves.
Amazon Cognito makes user management easy. This reduces the time we have to spend supporting users. Non-technical product managers can even use the AWS Console to manage users without requiring support from developers.
Amazon Cognito is likely more secure than what would be built in-house; a portion of our attack surface is now managed by Amazon.,Okta,GitHub, Bitbucket, JIRA Software, Google Analytics, Google Data Studio, AirtableVerified UserCognito for reliable authentication2018-03-14T16:14:37.724ZWe use cognito to manage user sign in and authentication for our projects built on AWS architecture.

Use Cognito2018-03-07T21:09:36.511ZIn our organization, we help customers who are currently using AWS Cognito. There are many Enterprise clients of ours who use Amazon Cognito. It's an amazing product I would say. The main business problem for us is while integrating the client applications, we need to decide how to integrate our application with other services like Gmail, Linkedin,...etc. For this purpose, Amazon Cognito does a great job with their SDK.,Can easily manage the users.
Very good UI design helps manage the users list efficiently.
Security groups and roles provides very efficient security.,Maybe they can improve more on the grouping part.
All the users come under the same Cognito User Pool. If the IAM can be restricted to per group level of User Pools, then that would be really helpful.,8,It has a very high positive impact. It reduces a lot of man-hours trying to develop and integrate with many other platforms.
I would appreciate it if there are additional IDPs added to Cognito.,Okta and OneLogin,Okta, Microsoft Azure, OneLoginVerified UserUnspecified
