We performed a comparison between Amazon Cognito and Auth0 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is proto connective and integrates well with other AWS services."
"Cognito speeds up our development and saves us time."
"They offer a permission tool to help us manage multi-factor authentication."
"The multi-factor authentication setup has room for improvement."
"This is a scalable solution. If our app or general usage increases, this solution can support it."
"The federation is one of the most efficient features as the pricing is competitive."
"The most valuable features of Amazon Cognito are OTP validation and email validation."
"The most valuable features of Amazon Cognito are the pre and post-token generation, and the different Cognito triggers. It has lots of functionality and flexibility."
"It is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"What I found generally lacking in AWS is privileged access management (PAM)."
"Amazon Cognito’s UI needs improvement while onboarding new users."
"The ease and simplicity of integration could be improved when using this solution. When using Okta, scope is a single endpoint with a parameter as a scope. In the Cognito for each scope, there is a separate endpoint."
"The MFA related to the solution's side is nonexistent."
"Cognito triggers can improve by providing more direct use cases rather than giving a white paper. A white paper is not at all interesting, it has too many details. It would be a benefit to provide a smaller document that is summarized. The smaller version would bring microdata, macro data is not helpful."
"The secure authentication of Amazon Cognito has benefited our company. We were previously using legacy signup systems."
"You need to evaluate the export users. The multifactor authentication, much less this room for improving the configuration setup of that."
"In a future release, we would like to have different methods to validate the characteristic of a user. For example, we would like to use biometric data to analyze the behavior of users."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
