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.

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

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

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

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
