Amazon Cognito - Fully Managed Authentication Service
Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Cognito
We use Amazon Cognito for authentication purposes for mobile and web applications. It is used locally within our department. Being a service company, when our customers ask for other mechanisms, we adapt to them as well. We solve the sign-up and sign-in of the mobile and web application via Amazon Cognito.
Pros
- It is really easy to set up signup and sign-in for mobile and web applications which makes overall development faster, helps focus more on business.
- It supports multi factor authentication and standard encryption algorithm. This helps tighten the security without investing a lot of time.
- It supports access management via Oauth 2.0 which makes authorization job easy.
- User can use Google, Facebook and Microsoft AD services for sign-in purpose helps reducing user efforts to register or signup within the application.
Cons
- As such I do not find any major things as cons. However they can improve the documentation.
- Sometimes additional customisation increases complexity. Most of those advanced features are not used frequently.
- Since we needed to provide Microsoft AD support for sign-in purpose, use of Cognito Service saved a lot of time.
