Overall Satisfaction with Okta

We use [Auth0] as the authentication to an internal cloud management platform. It allows us to outsource authentication securely to experts while we focus on delivering out cloud functionality

Pros

  • Good set of APIs
  • Multiple options for authentication sources
  • Fairly clear web administration interface

Cons

  • Would be better if the base templates helped with real cases instead of hello world. i.e. a react app with react-router and history as used by most of the react wrap-bootstrap admin templates.
  • Sometimes hard to figure out how to get simple information such as username or other details out of the authenticated session
  • Development time savings
  • Ensured a secure standards based authentication process instead to risking rolling our own
Internal and external Web apps instead of rollogin your own security
Web app authentication to backend web services (ex: nodejs services)
It is not a user db however, just an authentication ticket, so still have to save most user info internal
The roles system is fairly difficult to adapt to dynamic data security models
