IBM Cloud App ID Review

Rating: 7 out of 10

March 31, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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

Cons

Requires more options for the use in logging in
Requires more options for the use in accessing the other IBM cloud services

Likelihood to Recommend

I would use the IBM Cloud App ID if the clients wanted to utilize their app/services instead of the traditional Cloud services such as AWS, GCP, Azure. IBM Cloud with the use of App ID would definitely be the choice other than traditional cloud services. Besides, IBM cloud offers a unique type of services other than the traditional services such as AWS, GCP, Azure.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Provides excellent security from app to app authentication.
Easy User Interface.
Guides help resolve most of the issues.

Cons

Pricing can be heavy on small organizations.
User interface updates could be timely.
Cloud services hangs at times, but very rarely.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for large organizations with no budget constraints. Scaling can be easy. Best for app to app and app to API authentication.

IBM Cloud App ID - The easy way to add authentication

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

March 23, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Easy to use
Good to understand / good documentation
Easy integration with npm module

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Whenever you need to provide Security Provider functionality for a web based application it is well suited. You can also integrate with other directory services (e.g. SAML, Facebook, Google), but not so easily with other Auth0 based services. The customization of the login page is very intuitive, but does not allow much customisation. using the integrated Cloud Directory, you do not need to integrate with existing security providers and you can build up your own user base - including Multi-Factor Authentication settings and password policies.

September 20, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

Direct integration for CMS platforms like Wordpress.com or Wix.

Likelihood to Recommend

IBM Cloud App ID is highly useful for websites and applications (internal or external both), where login or user authentication is required. It offers features like Multi-Factor Authentication and Single Sign-On, which makes it more useful and secure. SSO is highly useful for internal applications within the website. IBM Cloud App ID is not so useful where Social Media login is required or preferred.
