Overall Satisfaction with The Okta Identity Cloud
Our organisation uses Auth0 as our internal identity provider (IDP). Our first use case was customer identity, for teaching in particular. We create and manage all user accounts for staff (tutors) and students.
In the future, we're looking to expand Auth0 to accommodate staff identity and other use cases outside of teaching. This could including general access for non-tutoring staff, membership accounts (which are currently managed by a separate SAAS), and more. This would consolidate Auth0 as our IDP across the board, which it's well-positioned to do so based on early indications. We would also look to benefit from some of the integrations with third parties, to easily federate with SAAS services and simplify access management for our staff.

- The developer experience is top-notch.
- The pricing is affordable and scalable.
- The core functionality is comprehensive and mature.
- Some functionality (eg. SAML2 add-ons) was tricky to configure and required lots of trawling through documentation, trial & error, and sheer persistence.
- Customer success is only interested in helping you if you are a corporate or paid member (they will otherwise refer you to the community forum).
- Polished end-user experience.
- Strong security posture.
- Streamlined account provisioning.
- Convenient self-service functionality.
Auth0 is better positioned for online services such as ours. It has transparent and affordable pricing, exceptional developer experience, and a fantastic administration console. We did not evaluate the other systems, and may still end up one day, but for now, we're very happy with the Auth0 package for our purposes.
