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
I use IBM App ID with IBM Cloud Functions as my backend. It has been easy to integrate App ID with Vue.js. The UI is handled for me. The auth function is handled for me. Turning on auth for Cloud Functions is very easy. I just have to pass the token from App ID to Cloud Functions and CF does the rest.

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
This is exactly why we use IBM Cloud App ID. Development time has been reduced thanks to using IBM Cloud App ID. Also the management of users.

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
Using IBM Cloud App ID we have easily added authentication to a web application deployed and running in IBM Cloud. The application is now secure and can be accessed only by users authenticated by the company's LDAP.

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.

My company uses IBM Cloud App ID as a way to add authentication, secure our backend and APIs and manage the access controls and user data for our mobile and web apps. I was involved in developing mobile apps to aid our organization's research efforts. IBM Cloud App ID has allowed us to have a much easier time to set up identity management and get our participants involved with the research.
- Seamless integration.
- Fast set-up.
- Easy user access control.
- Requires buy-in into the ecosystem.
- Cloud subscription.
- Initial learning curve.
It was something very useful because it helps with getting testers onboarded for our research apps and experiments. Many of our testers are repeat testers so having their credentials for single sign-on reduces the need for multiple registrations. As such, the authentication feature has greatly benefited our use case.

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

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
We use it to authenticate our mobile apps. Mostly to get social media login support.
- Easy to use for less technical and newer developers.
- Good integration with Facebook and Twitter.
- Secure interface.
- Sometimes non-intuitive interface.
- Help doc could be better.
