IBM Cloud App ID Review
Score 7 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
I have used the IBM Cloud App ID during my training in IBM Full Stack Course in Coursera. I was able to navigate and explore the tools of IBM Cloud including this IBM Cloud App ID. So far, I was able to successfully use the IBM Cloud App ID as part of my task in the Coursera Training in IBM Cloud, and was able to utilize the service or app.
- I have used the IBM Cloud for logging in
- I have used the IBM Cloud for integrating my ID in other services
- I have used the IBM Cloud for verification of ID
- Requires more options for the use in logging in
- Requires more options for the use in accessing the other IBM cloud services
The service is being used for authentication by the developers for building applications. The users range from students to professors and industry experts to build application projects. App ID manages the authentication process of the application giving more time for the users to spend time on building logic and improving the user experience. It does the job perfectly. It has built-in features that allow authenticated login to the apps using SDKs, APIs, and other user interfaces. It also allows application to application authentication and application to API authentication. Easy to use with loaded features. Documentation provides an easy walkthrough in understanding its application.
- Provides excellent security from app to app authentication.
- Easy User Interface.
- Guides help resolve most of the issues.
- Pricing can be heavy on small organizations.
- User interface updates could be timely.
- Cloud services hangs at times, but very rarely.

IBM Cloud App ID - The easy way to add authentication
We use IBM Cloud App ID as authentication system for a demo product, where we want to show how easy it is to integrate with external authentication systems. Cloud App ID acts as a OIDC compliant Security Provider and provides the user Administration for free. So there is no need of programming the user related functionality, like self-registering or forgot password.
- Easy to use
- Good to understand / good documentation
- Easy integration with npm module
- Not many OIDC flows are supported
- Permission Settings for Administration of the IAM secured service is hard to understand
- The URL of the discoveryEndpoint is not easy to find

Saved a lot of time avoiding reinventing the wheel
We have used IBM Cloud App ID to add authentication to our EY web app and the mobile version. We have used the social login option. It was used by our practice to tackle a typical business problem of EAD.
- It has enhanced the end user experience and it was clearly reflected in our quarterly reviews.
- It has enabled us to leverage the serverless back end.
- Application security is now no problem for us.

Featured-filled User Authentication Software that is easy to implement
IBM Cloud App ID has mainly been used for the website and app, where user login or authentication is required. It also offers advanced capabilities like Single Sign On (SSO) and Multi-factor authentication or 2FA. Also, it is compliant with data regulations like PCI, GDPR, which makes it easy to set up the software without much effort.
- Simple to setup.
- Includes features like Multi Factor Authentication and Single Sign On.
- No need to setup infrastructure or compliance, because they have done it all. So its just to connect the software with the website or application.
- Social Media Login Integration can be added to IBM Cloud App ID.
- Direct integration for CMS platforms like Wordpress.com or Wix.

Easy Integration with IBM Cloud App ID
Our company uses IBM Cloud App ID as a simple and authentication login solution for end-users. We use IBM Cloud App ID because it is simple and easy since our use case did not need complex features. IBM Cloud App ID also plays nicely with our app, since our backend runs with the help of IBM Cloud functions. It also helped us to validate the access of end-users to different apps and get access to them.
- Easy User Authentication
- Secured Backend Resources
- MFA- multi factor authentication
- Easy and flexible Integration
- Free IBM Cloud App ID instance provided by IBM for evaluation
- Stability and availablility
- Invite user options for IDP
- Pricing is bit more expensive and not clear
- Initial learning required for staring projects with Cloud App ID
- Requires use of IBM Cloud for deploying projects
- HSM integration
- RSA integration

My IBM Cloud App ID Review
We have few clients with IBM Cloud App Id setup to access IBM Cloud platform. It's used by particular department for enabling federation of associates to access IMB Cloud resources. Thus enterprise users can access without creating manual user login and can use enterprise SSO to sign in. We federate using SAML 2.0 IDP.
- Flexibility in integrating various login IDP
- Options for dynamic rules, role assignments and custom attributes
- Easy and flexible integration steps and well documented product
- More customization options for login page like HTML based
- Login option through App Id Service at cloud.ibm.com
- Invite user options for IDP

App ID is great if you use IBM Cloud Functions
We use App ID as a simple login solution for clients of our SEQu-SUITE line of products so that our clients' admin users will only get to see and edit their company's data.
Instead of creating our own auth server, or using a third-party solution, we used IBM App ID since it is relatively simple considering our use case did not need the additional features of other providers. It also plays nicely with our app, as our backend is run on IBM Cloud Functions, so being able to keep the auth server and app backend on one vendor saves a lot of administrative effort.

- Uses OIDC/OAuth, so the protocols for accessing user info and token management is familiar
- Clear pricing model
- API binds nicely with IBM Cloud Functions
- Billed as part of our IBM Cloud, along with our other services
- Front-end SDK for Vue, works well
- API reference lacks examples
- Social login limited only to Facebook and Google
- Only logo is customisable in ready-made sign-in interface

Experience of using IBM Cloud App from a mobile app
We are using it as part of apps that we develop for customers. Is used to validate access of end-users to different apps and get access to specific microservices.
- Easy management of user authentication
- Protection of backend resources
- Profiling of users to specific roles
- Storage of user personal information
- Easy the location of user profiles by username without going the UUID.
- Improve the sample "password management" program

Application security made easy with IBM Cloud App ID.
IBM Cloud App ID is used to implement SSO between web applications deployed and running in IBM Cloud and IBM Connections running on-premise. App ID addresses the following business problem: it enables a web application to be used only by users authorized by company's LDAP server. Only authorized users can access the web application running in IBM Cloud.
- Ease of use and configuration
- Free App ID instance available for evaluation
- Stability and availablility (no incidents so far)
- Documentation can be improved

Easy to use for cloud development and security
It is used across the organization for SSO authentication for cloud applications.
- Easy to set-up.
- Saves a lot of time that otherwise would be spent setting up and using the SSO SAM login.
- Secured, as we don't need to expose any of the SAM security credentials.
- Login/logout set-up in the application is easy and smooth.
- Straight forward examples in different programming languages like JS/node, Java and others would help developers set-up applications faster.

IBM App ID Will Increase Your Security
IBM App ID is being used by the development team for App to API authentication to solve lack of security at in-between points. Using IBM App ID is helping to create a stronger, secure connection between our API and the app we are developing.
- The app is easy to use and navigate
- The app enhances security greatly
- IBM App ID is incredibly reliable and has yet to fail while utilizing it in my team's course of app development
- The cost is a bit heavier than anticipated or wanted
- Higher availability to scale solutions

Multi Factor Authentication- IBM App ID makes it easy
We offer digital transformation solutions to our customers in key geographies and being an IBM business partner, we recommend IBM products to our customers. In fact, we were one of the early adopters of IBM Cloud (then Bluemix). We have used App ID for internal mobile applications. We use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in many of our solutions and with App ID it is easy for us to use MFA. Deployment is quite fast and deployment across channels is easy.
- MFA- multi factor authentication
- Session
- Ease of use
- HSM integration
- RSA integration
