WorkOS is a platform that helps users to manage access and identity for their applications. New users who have implemented the software praise the documentation provided, as it guides them through the setup of their integration with Active Directory, making it easy to understand and implement changes. This feature saves users time and trouble, allowing them to get started quickly with the software.

One major business problem solved by WorkOS is its ability to automate user provisioning, de-provisioning, and updates of user attributes, eliminating the need for manual interventions. This capability saves users hours, days, and even sprints of work. Additionally, WorkOS simplifies multiple provider implementations down to a standardized format, enabling users to use a wide range of identity providers in their go-to-market strategy. This feature provides flexibility for businesses that require integration with multiple providers, reducing complexity and streamlining processes. Overall, WorkOS makes managing access and identity easier for businesses, helping to improve operational efficiency while minimizing costs.

Helpful Support: WorkOS provides clear documentation and extremely helpful support. Users appreciate the responsiveness, patience, and thoroughness of their support team. Multiple reviewers have noted that the support team is fantastic, providing fast responses and the right level of knowledge to help troubleshoot and fix issues.

Easy Integration: WorkOS has a great user interface for customers to set up their own SAML configurations and mappings which makes it easy for users to integrate with many more HRIS providers than they would otherwise be able to. Some users found that WorkOS allowed them to integrate with 10 identity providers in the time it would take to implement with one of them natively. The platform provides a range of options for customers, making it easy to offer all of them through one consistent interface.

Clear Documentation: Reviewers are impressed by how clear and concise WorkOS's documentation is. Both API documentation and customer portal guides are thorough and high quality, providing step-by-step instructions that make setting up identity provider connections incredibly straightforward.

Limited Roles and Permissions: Some users have expressed the need for more roles or configurable permissions to allow more users to use WorkOS safely. Multiple reviewers have stated that this is a significant challenge they face while using WorkOS.

High Price Point: Several users find the price of WorkOS high, especially as they connect with more customers. Though not all users feel this way, it's worth noting that the cost can be a barrier for some who would otherwise benefit from using the software.

Missing Features and Bugs: A few users faced problems with the WorkOS product not containing all the features they would have liked or encountering bugs. Although this was only mentioned by a small percentage of reviewers, it's important to note that there are still areas where WorkOS could improve its offerings.
